"Several sessions that were supposed to feature NASA researchers ended up half-empty. One session had eight scheduled speakers; only three presented."

American science and technology is not going to be able to come back from this.

Well, this report confirms that we do a really good job in destroying world's life. The decline of populations is mind-staggering.

The cascade effects of #sunscreens on the environment such as corals, dunes and fish and on humans directly and indirectly are manifold. We're part of nature and taking the #OneHealth approach is inescapable, which requires a change of culture, especially in the global north and 'the West':
- Be in the sun mornings and evenings,
- not longer than two hours at a time,
- stay in shade,
- cover yourself,
- apply mineral-based sun-screens.

Deep Dive: Why you’d better check the sunscreen you use – DW – 07/12/2024

Hawaii and other tourist hot spots have banned some UV filters found in sunscreen, in part thanks to a fateful snack run for Oreos that put one ecotoxicologist on the trail of unsuspected coral killer in the ocean. Twenty years later, his search continues amid a cacophony of misinformation about sun protection.

Weekly (hopefully!) river walk with Maron the Shiba. It's great to see her so confident with going into the water. In the summer we'll have to try swimming somewhere deep. There's something different to notice during every walk when you take the time to go, feel the weather, see the plants, hear the river...

I uploaded a song as an aid for appreciating (worshiping?) the local river, along with the writing by Natalie Diaz..

As people debate the costs, timeline, difficulties and challenges of keeping our planet habitable, it helps to have a reminder of what our (realistic) alternatives are (we don't have any).

Earthrise - Emergence Magazine

Directed by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, this documentary tells the story of the first image captured of the Earth from space in 1968, as recalled by the Apollo 8 astronauts 50 years later.

`For the team of researchers, these results are pretty clear. “Hence, we suggest that GCRs (Galactic Cosmic Rays) and SEP (Solar Energetic Particle) events from the young Sun represent the most effective energy sources for the prebiotic formation of biologically important organic compounds from weakly reducing atmospheres.”`

Solar Flares Could Have Helped Life Get Started on Earth

A new study shows how solar flares are another 'Goldilocks' situation. Too much is not good for life, but a little could be beneficial.
