Gabe Ortíz“Trump as recently as July 21 laid out the blueprint for how to take the wind out of his fascist sails. ‘I hate when people laugh at me,’ he said somberly at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. ‘I hate it. Hate it. It’s so disrespectful.’” https://bad-faith-times.ghost.io/weird-and-the-breaking-of-the-fascist-fever/

In addition to reducing CO2 output by our industries, a variety of different efforts to improve carbon capture technologies continues.
One team at the Max Planck Institute have been trying to develop a synthetic CO2 fixation pathway they can apply to bacteria and scale up.
They have successfully improved their THETA cycle by two orders of magnitude to convert CO2 into acetyl-CoA.

Construction and modular implementation of the THETA cycle for synthetic CO2 fixation - Nature Catalysis
Few synthetic CO2-fixation pathways have been tested in vivo. Now, the new-to-nature THETA cycle is designed, realized in vitro and modular implemented in vivo. This cycle involves 17 enzymes, including the two most active carboxylases known so far, to produce the central building block acetyl-CoA using CO2.
DeLill Nasser (1929-2000) was the program director for the eukaryote genetics division of the National Science Foundation and today's new Wikipedia article.
She was instrumental in getting the Arabidopsis genome project underway and her name pops up most nowadays thanks to the scholarship award in her name that's helped fund dozens of student's conference and research presentations.

Another Giant in Obstetrics and Gynecology for our new Wikipedia article today.
Linda Giudice is a massive presence in the field of infertility research and an authority on the menstrual cycle and endometriosis.
Much of what we know of genetics on the topic is thanks to her work, along with the negative impacts environmental pollution has on women's fertility and miscarriage rates.

And her article doesn't even have anywhere near her complete repertoire and film catalogue. I had to give up in the middle of 1914, she was just in so many silent films.
Unless I wanted to spend multiple weeks tracking everything down, I had to stop at some point.
But hopefully there's enough there to intrigue and inform you about some of the earliest years of the motion picture industry.
Let's head back in time, 100+ years back. Today's newly made Wikipedia article is theater and silent film actress Velma Whitman.
Active from 1905 through 1920, Mrs. Whitman did an absolute ton of well-regarded comedic theater throughout the US, a new one every week!
Then she went into the entirely new field of silent motion pictures, becoming a massive and prolific star there as well.

A different area of fascinating accomplishment, this new Wikipedia article is on Aboriginal artist Arkeria Rose Armstrong.
Her unique ochre and dots storytelling style, a combination of her Yorta Yorta grandfather and Gamilaraay grandmother's methods, that features the landscapes of Australia has been shown prominently in Bendigo, Victoria, but also in art galleries across the Netherlands.

Another towering titan of the National Science Foundation for this week's newly created Wikipedia article.
Machi Dilworth is a Japanese-American plant biologist who has been massively influential in projects involving Arabidopsis genome sequencing and everything else involving the model organism at the NSF.
At the same time, she has pioneered efforts to increase the amount of Japanese women in STEM fields.

Mary Lake Polan is an obstetrician and gynecologist who did massive work in the 70's through the 90's, promoting understanding of infertility treatments and the very new medical option called in-vitro fertilization
Her 1988 medical mystery novel, Second Seed, showcased in-depth terms and tech to de-mystify the general public on this new medical marvel
