H/T @alejandro Bortolus | Investigador Principal CONICET
[“consequences”, fascinating, illuminating and scary frankly!!]
“The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East are causing substantial humanitarian, economic, and geopolitical impacts and disrupting global trade. While the human and economic effects remain the focus of most immediate concern, a pending ecological crisis is also unfolding. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz on February 28, 2026, stranded an estimated 1,500 ships in the Persian/Arabian Gulf, with hundreds more anchored in the Gulf of Oman. Prolonged stationary periods lead to substantial biofouling penalties for ships, as marine microbes, algae, and invertebrates rapidly colonize and grow on submerged surfaces. This accumulation not only impairs vessel operations but also creates significant environmental risks. A major concern is the high likelihood that these idle ships will facilitate the extensive spread of economically and ecologically damaging invasive species as they re-enter the global shipping network. Given the unprecedented scale and duration of this mass lay-up of ships, conditions are primed for a large-scale, marine bioinvasion “super-spreader” event as regular maritime trade in the region resumes. The combination of extensive biofouling growth and species accumulation, and the sheer number, size, and global reach of affected vessels, has created an immense international biosecurity threat. Here, [they] highlight the biosecurity risks arising from the closure of the Strait and provide recommendations to mitigate them. [They] urge relevant stakeholders worldwide, including ship operators, port authorities, and environmental managers, to prepare now for the backlog of ship biofouling management requirements and to implement appropriate actions to abate this extraordinary biosecurity threat...”

“HIGHLIGHTS
• A memory-efficient watershed delineation algorithm was introduced.
• The new algorithm uses a node-skipping depth-first search to save memory.
• Both input and output data are stored in a shared matrix to reduce required memory.
• It performed 95% faster than its CPU benchmark algorithm using 33% less memory.
• It can solve 50% larger problems than what the CPU benchmark algorithm can handle..."

Anselm Kiefer (born 8 March 1945) is a German painter and sculptor. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead an shellac. Kiefer develops themes of German history and the horrors of the Holocaust…

Kiefer's use of straw in his work represents energy. He claims this is due to straw's physical qualities, including the colour gold and its release of energy and heat when burned. The resulting ash makes way for new creation and rebirth.

Large-scale strategies have been the best thing to happen to biology, leading to the discovery of many new molecular mechanisms or phenomena.

What is frightening, however, is that in many cases it is virtually impossible to know whether the conclusions drawn from such data are robust or whether they are due to undetected artefacts. Often, neither the authors nor the reviewers are able to detect such major flaws...
