Thanks to Canadian @shiventaneja.bsky.social for developing these instructions. The CR Box has a high clean air delivery rate for particles in the size ranges of wildfire smoke & should remove a large amount of heavier organic gas-phase components. All at a fraction of cost of other air cleaners.

Wildfire deforestation in California is now among the highest in the world. 🌲🔥 Our researchers are uncovering how high-intensity fires and climate change are reshaping our forests, and what we can do to help them recover.
UC Davis Research@ucdavisresearch.bsky.social · 4mo agoCalifornia has one of the highest rates of wildfire-driven deforestation in the world, and the trend has accelerated over the past three decades, according to a study from @ucdavis.bsky.social. @calfire.bsky.social @frontiersin.bsky.social www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news...
This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig... The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.
Our winter sale of cuttings will begin on our website Really Good Plants (reallygoodplants.com) on December 12 at 6:00 PM PST. We are pleased to offer 594 cultivars this year, with scions for mulberry, fig, apricot, peach, plum, nectarine, apple, pear, persimmon, pomegranate, and many others.
Looking forward to working with our collaborators on EPiC! 🌱🚀👩🏼🔬

What are freshly hatched salmon called? Alevins! Cassidy Cooper photographed these tiny fish in their early life stage. 🐟📷 #SciComm #Salmon #Alevins #Fish #FishFacts #Photography #WildlifePhotography #AquaticBiology #NatureEducation #Nature
Field Frame Friday: Salmon Alevins
These tiny fish, only a few days old, are newly hatched salmon. They still have their yolk sacs (bright orange in this photo) and are called “alevins.”

TLDR: The eradication of screwworm from the US was super important for US livestock. A tiny US facility in Panama drops sterile screwworms from planes to prevent the spread of fertile screwworms Why maintain a barrier zone in Panama? Mexico border - BIG! Panama isthmus - SMALL!
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last yr.Before screwworms were eradicated in the U.S., every cut, every scratch, every navel of a newborn calf threatened to turn fatal. Now the parasites are heading back toward us. @sarahzhang.bsky.social reports:

For decades, @ucdavis.bsky.social stood tall among the world's giants in agricultural research. That progress is now at risk amid threats to federal research funding (via @reuters.com) www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Insight: Trump funding freeze upends agricultural research at US universities
From its earliest days in 1906, when the University of California secured a small stretch of fertile soil in the state's Central Valley, a quiet promise took root - that this place, originally called University Farm, would someday grow mighty.

Senator Scott Wiener@scottwiener.bsky.social · last yr.They’re destroying federal science capacity & California needs to step up & expand science capacity at the state level. I introduced SB 829 to create the California Institute for Scientific Research & authorize the State of California to produce vaccines. It just passed the Senate Health Committee.
Taking time to enjoy spring flowers… thinking about my grandma 🩷 who lived thru political violence, left loved ones at ~40 yrs old for the US w/ 7 kids (#8 born here), lost her only son in a motorcycle crash, etc… she was a gardener and in dark times always said “apples will grow again” 🍎🌸

Erika Cheung spoke with Nature about working at Theranos and how blowing the whistle on the company and Elizabeth Holmes changed her career. “I’m still in shock how much this derailed my life.” 🧪

Listen this IS in fact how it’s done. Georgetown Law Dean William Treanor responds to Acting U.S. Atty Ed Martin’s threat to refuse to hire Georgetown graduates who have taken “DEI” courses in their curriculum. Treanor is a brilliant lawyer & constitutional scholar. Embarrassing for Martin.

I really feel for the early career researchers impacted by what’s happening in the US. It’s hard enough for them to complete a PhD and build a career. This has long term implications for research capacity globally. #AcademicSky #research
Melissa Sweet@melissasweetdr.bsky.social · 2y agoThere are so many reasons to be sad/angry etc about what is happening to science in the US, and this is one: Postdocs and PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on science www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.

The near misses on Tuesday came after a string of aviation disasters, including the midair collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet last month that killed 67 people.
