Map of water availability and water stress in South America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Atlantic Brazil, the west coast bordering the Andes, and the pampas region have the most water stress.
Map of water availability and water demand in North America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Mexico and the U.S. northern plains and southwest have the most water stress. The Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region, and northeast/Atlantic regions have high demand and availability. Alaska and northern Canada have high availability and low demand, except for the Alaskan North slope with lower availability and higher demand.
Brilliant choice of bivariate color palette in this map of water stress from @wriclimate.bsky.social & ESRI.
I love how it draws attention to areas with high demand for water with saturated colors, & distinguishes low & high availability with a striking change in hue.

Enjoy a crisp fizzy soda with us! 🥤 What makes it fizz though? CO₂ is packed into the liquid under pressure, and once you open it, the bubbles escape and bring that bright sparkle we love! 🫧

Be the first to land on the surface of a pizza! 🍕🧀 What makes cheese so stretchy? It’s casein proteins forming a flexible web that melts and relaxes, creating that perfect cheese pull!

How exactly do painkillers work? 🧪 Protoxin-II, a newly researched painkiller from UC Davis, blocks pain by binding to sodium channels to close them. Where as morphine acts on receptors that lower the neuron's excitability, so sodium channels open less often. See it in VR here:

🕷️Can tarantula toxins be used as pain medicine?🧪
Scientists from @ucdavis.bsky.social are researching how Protoxin-II, a protein found in tarantula venom, can be used as an alternative to current opioid painkillers like morphine.
Find out how the the toxin stops pain in the nervous system in VR!
This is amazing!!!
