Police: Officer brutally kicked by protestor
Reality: Officer brutally kicked protestor

Until footage of the actual events emerged, police and politicians called for more powers to the police.

Will they now call for demilitarization of the police?

Urine from Intensive Care Patients as a Hotspot for Pharmaceutical Emissions and Sorbent-Based Treatment Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhaC) released into the environment can threaten human and environmental health. Their removal from (waste)water typically involves advanced water treatment technolo...

Urine from intensive care patients contain pharmaceutical concentrations that are up to 10 000 times higher than what is frequently found in wastewater. This offers a great opportunity for effective on-site removal of pharmaceuticals.

Even the biggest journals would *have* to allow it or all the biggest publicly-funded research results would go elsewhere.

Publicly-funded research hidden behind private-profit paywalls needs to go the way of the 8-track. 🗑️🔥

The wealthy contribute disproportionately to planetary decline But they can also have the greatest role in turning things around

My latest post. Six of the nine planetary boundaries have been crossed and it turns out most of the contribution towards these transgressions is from the wealthiest 10% of consumers. I discuss a recent paper that uncovered these results and some of the potential to turn things around.
