And from corporate back to consumer :) I did a rough estimate on how much tariff was paid by average oil consumers on average last year: ~$60. lets see the oil industry write cheques back to everyone with fuel receipts for last year :)

Lichen getting envious ;)

US repeals key ‘endangerment finding’ that climate change is a public threat Overturning the 2009 decision will lead to billions of extra tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions over the next three decades.

We are going to need that very badly, with the other news today (www.nature.com/articles/d41...)

Awesome :)

You don't get any more earlike than that ;)

Will definitely add yours to my tree microbiome hotlist :)

Really fascinating work. Always good to see a scientist unafraid of publishing a paper that disproves rather than proves the hypothesis. Kudos to you :) I would love to see how the assemblages change over a longer timespan than 2 years. Hopefully you get an extension?

Baby-to-baby strain transmission shapes the developing gut microbiome - Nature A metagenomic survey of babies attending the first year of nursery detected extensive baby-to-baby microbial strain transmission, pointing to social interactions in infancy as crucial drivers of infan...

Foreign corporations get billions in taxpayer funding. What do they do with it? Strip our resources and leave working people to pay for the mess.

It’s the BC NDP playbook: privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

Nah, he just went to that place that rabbits in top hats come from ;)

im mycophilic: Do you think fungi have been better ESE than humans?

interesting concept: looking at the processes rather than individual taxa, and then overlaying to see whether new taxa had the same impact humans had on the flow chart. There is an assumption built in there though: That the taxa did not change their geophysical impact over time?

Vibrio is one of the microbes taken off the CDC surveillance list :(

CDC Surveillance ended for
'campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio, and Yersinia.'

So ozone was reduced in the plume (at higher elevations) but ground level ozone increased? Am I reading that right?

Other papers say wildfire smoke cause ozone depletion: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Done, thx.

Flipside of this is unfortunately a 'Delphi' dating app. If Delphi AI scores you low risk you can have a profile on the App. Eugenics in a way...But definitely very useful for doctors doing preventative medicine. Every advance with AI is potentially amazing - with a dark side. Remember Gattaca?

'Wolbitoes' :) wonder if Microsporidium MB could also be used? Microbial controls show lots of promise.

Accidentally deleted email I think...?

Just knowing that someone owns a gun changes the way people interact. Its in the back of your mind the whole time: 'Better not offend this person in any way' - leading to overcensorship and non-sincere interactions.
