It took me three reads before I figured out that it was trying to say that places designed to churn out research papers in China are causing a surge of retractions which in turn is causing reforms in their university system

I’m sure there’s a snappier at way to say that but the title they chose is really confusing

It seems there are many benefits to being a marine biologist

I have an electric hot eye compress

It’s over priced for what it is but it’s the ones my doctor recommended and I haven’t found a better one. I often will put a damp paper towel on it for moistness

The doctors office itself uses a microwaveable version. The important thing is to use it for at least 7 minutes

I’ve been using computers heavily for over 2 decades

My eye doctors have impressed on me the importance of eye lid health and hot eye compresses. They say everyone should do it twice a day

I’m not sure if I’d go as far as to reccomend that (plenty of people do fine without it) but my eyes get gunky FAST if I skip hot eye compresses

The other commenters are well meaning but don’t really know what they’re talking about. I have chronic dry eye from staring at screens too much (remember to blink!). My tear ducts have gotten overworked and started to produce thicker, gunkier, tears which blocked them and cause styes. I’ve lost a bunch of my tear ducts. Once they’re gone they don’t grow back.

These little mites eat the gunk my eyes produce and, when they get overpopulated, leave a ton of gunk on your eye. It’s called blepharitis

I’ve had it so bad that I’ve had trouble opening my eyes in the morning. There’s a relatively new eyedrop that clears them out. Combining that with hot dye compresses and lid scrubs have helped keep them under control and has drastically increased my eyelid health

I hope that helps answer your question
