💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🚜🌾 On a family farm in #Emerald, #Queensland, growers Neek and Avanell Morawitz explain how #cotton is cultivated, harvested, and processed.
A specialized machine uses thousands of spinning spindles to pull fine fibers directly from mature #plants, compacting the #crop into multi-ton bales.

In pathogen control, the "Swiss Cheese Model" of multiple barriers is the gold standard. No single intervention is perfect; success lies in the cumulative effect of the cascade. #EnvironmentalEngineering #PublicHealth #QMRA.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🥜🧫 A first-of-its-kind #trial at #Boston #Children’s Hospital tested whether fecal microbiota transplant pills could help #adults with severe #peanut #allergies.
Six of 15 participants meaningfully raised their peanut #protein tolerance, some up to 600 mg, with effects lasting at least four months. Researchers traced the benefit to specific Bacteroides #bacteria that appeared to calm immune responses, though larger placebo-controlled trials are still needed.

I've long been suspicious of claims of agency – and of psychology more generally. And I'm still unsurprised at how many misunderstand the notion of evolution and the problem of natural selection, not as a process but as a phrase.

Not being a biologist, I decided to look at this through the lens of language.

'Only One Conclusion': Radical Study Suggests Life on Earth Arose Twice
One of the biggest hurdles was the very first one: How did life emerge from a primordial soup of stuff that very much wasn't alive?
Study suggests this unlikely threshold may actually have been crossed not once, but twice.
Two main lineages of #life – #bacteria and #archaea – may have independently figured out the secrets of metabolism that upgraded them from non-living to living, according to study.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦟🧪 Researchers in #Florida recruited 119 volunteers in #Miami and measured which #mosquitoes lingered near each person’s arm in a scent chamber.
Using gas #chromatography and skin-swab #DNA sequencing, they compared air #chemistry and the #microbes living on volunteers’ forearms. The finding is that each of three mosquito species favors its own blend of human scents, and that the most enticing people for one species are not necessarily appealing to another.

Scientists researching biomaterials now engineer silk in #bacteria to form drug-delivery reservoirs, wound scaffolds, and even #3D-printed bone-repair structures.

Among biologists, few questions have been debated as fiercely as the origin of life.
How did self-sustaining organisms, capable of transforming molecules to capture energy, arise on the primitive Earth?
A new study challenges the assumption that all #life descended from one free-living cell.
Instead, it suggests that two microbial lineages, the #bacteria and #archaea, evolved independently from a #primordial, nonliving ancestor.

bread update-
My baking has slowed down since I have been busy, with many breads not getting the optimum gluten network build up from me missing the prime kneading / stretching times.
I am however mastering fermentation times and predicting my starter behavior. Bread 58 I split into two doughs, and after forgetting to salt the first one (Florence style) I salted the second, folded butter into it and coated the outside in wheat bran. The resulting rosemary sourdough bread came out pre buttered and SO tasty!
Now I am watching videos of people making croissants and folding butter into their dough many many times. I am wondering what would happen if I actually stretched the dough when I was supposed to, and kneaded a fine layer of cold butter into the bread before it got to its super intense bread flour rise?Perhaps by bread 60 I will finally get the tight gluten networks I see the bread influencers getting.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐛🕳️ A single devil worm (Halicephalobus mephisto) found 1.3 km deep in a South African #gold mine rewrote what scientists thought possible for #animal #life.
Researchers have since studied its heat-resistant #proteins and temperature-dependent #energy system. The #worm survives without sunlight or #oxygen, sustained by deep subsurface #bacteria that may have been isolated for hundreds of millions of years.
