A study in roundworms found that mitochondria remember trauma through multiple generations.

Something to do with the nervous system. Studies have found that on dogs but now we may share that with all beings. Apparently the future generations had more resilience to stress and lived longer. Interesting.

@SatyrService Wow that's crazy, I do hope we get more mindful as a species for that reason. Also makes me wonder, if all the people who are eating like crap and then having children, then their children's children will have diseases because of their ancestors.
