From Steam to Sustainability: How Railways Could Help Calm the Climate Crisis Born in the age of coal, the rail industry helped ignite the climate crisis. Today, rail — celebrating its 200-year anniversary — is reinventing itself as the greenest mode of mass transport.

Happy 200th birthday to passenger rail travel!

Although, as my piece shows, actual history is messier than that: www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Chloroplasts (spherical structures in magenta) are surrounded by membranes of vacuoles (in green).

I love this image of moss (Physcomitrium patens) chloronema cells, as you can see how chloroplasts (in magenta 🟣) indent the vacuole to make room for themselves. The vacuolar membrane is labeled with a GFP marker (green 🟢).
