Fun fact: Coal ironically is used to make silicon… 🙃 and most electronic recycling is done in China and India in rather nasty conditions contributing to environmental damage including release of toxic metals and plastics into the air, soil and water. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
In case you missed this 2024 story:
Scientists are building FROG SAUNAS, and it's letting one species of endangered frogs rid themselves of a deadly fungal pathogen.
Also, they appear to just, like, enjoy it.
Frog sauna. Or 'frauna'. Or, alternatively, 'hopspital'.
Interested in how #fungi came about on this planet? If so, take a look at my new article that just came out in @annualreviews.bsky.social.

Tetanus is making a comeback. The U.S. just recorded its highest annual death rate in two decades. Experts attribute this 'comeback' to declining vaccination rates and warn that cases could rise further, by @meryldl.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

We can use the otherwise useless American missile launchers to deliver mail I guess.

It's easy to dismiss, but more Americans died from tetanus last year than any year in nearly two decades.
Finally out in @Cellcellpress!
Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.
www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Highly conserved mRNA 3′ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically
disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis
of fully active proteins.

“Solar panels can't be recycled!" Yes they can. 95% of their components are recyclable. Solar has the lowest environmental impact of any energy source. Now do coal and oil... 😅
