This is figure 1, which shows the proposed artificial oceanic carbon capture and upcycling system.

This is figure 1, which shows the proposed artificial oceanic carbon capture and upcycling system.

A paper in Nature Catalysis reports a system to capture carbon dioxide from seawater and convert it into biodegradable plastic precursors. The findings suggest a potentially sustainable way to produce industrial chemicals. go.nature.com/4o5lcTA #chemsky 🧪

Donate to Support Nour Eleyan's Journey to Safety; Out of Gaza, organized by Enas Abdel Rahman Culhane Hi, my name is Enas Culhane. I am a USF Master's student stud… Enas Abdel Rahman Culhane needs your support for Support Nour Eleyan's Journey to Safety; Out of Gaza

They survived the bombing. Please help them get through this genocide! Nour was left for dead with her brother's kids in Gaza City, while her sister in law got out, then took a vacation. Please help her through this, we've gotten her so close!

Feel so scammed and bullied and disrespect by foreign military wives, bitches. And the GOP. Got scammed into adopting a cat when I clearly said " foster" and I'm supposed to be PC when the university held a giant Kirk vigil but can't be bothered to help us get our GI Bill funding??? ALL CROOKS.

It really misses me off that a university can organize a vigil for a horrible person like Charlie Kirk on a dime. But they can't process student's GI Bill before a government shut down.

I'm so disgusted that the National Guard is gassing and harassing Vietnam Veterans in Portland. I hope the tables turn and the uniforms are stripped right off the backs of these traitors. No respect for the pathetic guards hiding their faces like Isis. Shame on Trump and them!

Total government shut down. Just like Netanyahu, Trump and his red-tie minions take the opportunity to show off their " Trump 2028" hats? AMERICA, why isn't everyone in the street protesting? This is beyond psychotic.

Netanyahu was filmed inciting violence and a coffin against Yitzak Rabin. He will murder other Israelis to get what he wants. He's horrible. He thinks he can push around Americans.

The Ashkenazi population was far more numerous than Jewish people in the Middle East. They look down on us, we think they are ultra-religious, conservative nutjobs. Oil and water. Militarily, they don't listen to Americans. They waste our $ and insult us at the same time. Bring Ben to Justice.

It's so absurd. If Jewish people need a state, it should have been in Europe. My family left Lithuania in 1890 with the Russian incursions. My DNA is less than 0.1% middle eastern except for a little Greek. Many American Jewish people can't stand Israel. They looked down on their "own" Ashkenazis.

Our friend Nour is alone in Gaza City with 4 kids- her orphaned nieces/ nephews. Sister in law took the money, her oldest daughter, went to Jordan- leaving Nour with 4 kids her 3 yr old. Instead of sending money from the sale of Nour's dead brother's car, she went on vacation.

Everyone with any military experience knows that you cannot win against terrorists by killing children. And EVERYONE knows nation state's conventional war strategies always fail against networks.

So maybe Israel's rabid dog, right wing mass murderer should bite his tongue. Not only is a military failure and a mass murderer of children- but last I checked our tax dollars pay for his unhinged insults. Come and tell me what you think we can stomach to our faces.

I don't know about you, but I feel very insulted that Netanyahu decided to talk to the people who gave him everything he has like we are a bunch of little bitches. Guess what, we caught and killed our 9-11 terrorists. And it wasn't the 2 hasty wars that did it. Nope. years of special operations.
