Just saw this on BlueSky:
Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe - Nature Microbiology

This paper is a call to action. By publishing concurrently across journals like an emergency bulletin, we are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change. Instead, we are demanding immediate, tangible steps that harness the power of microbiology and the expertise of researchers and policymakers to safeguard the planet for future generations.

In 1997 I chose well for relocating my family:
Over 70 and I cannot recall ever seeing the kind of devastation this storm has caused. Maybe I am just forgetting, but I lived through Agnes in SW NY. We weren't the worst hit, but it was bad. This is just another level, IMO. https://twitter.com/i/status/1840077470931832933

These are bad enough, but one time while working on some farm machinery I had my hands full and could not let go without serious injury to my uncle.

Since I could first vote in 1972, the #DemocraticParty has marched steadily to the right. They abandoned #Unions and the #WorkingClass in general. Their capitulation to the right allowed the rise of the fully #Fascist #GOP and ultimately Trump and a #Christofascist #SCOTUS.

The party's infiltration from the right has probably assured the destruction of democracy. The quotes for some Dems in this piece fully demonstrates this. https://newrepublic.com/post/183418/democrats-mad-biden-brutal-new-nickname?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily
