Thanks, Sam. No one knew because I'm just now coming out of the closet!

In another sign of returning normalcy in Maine, the Old Port is full of the gigantic SUVs of people from Connecticut and Mass. and the similarly gigantic attitudes of the persons who drive same.

Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia have tangible opportunities for meeting projected electricity demand and CO2 emission targets with less hydropower than currently planned. https://t.co/QmyBp991Vn

.@CameraTrapSue You’re more than welcome. Keep posting the great trap photos - it’s good to know what goes on under the ‘cover’ of darkness.

.@CameraTrapSue Good distribution of the melon - there’s more than one way to slice a melon!

.@dronita_de A very interesting study - the magnetic bead technique is clever.

.@CharlesCMann Unfortunately there seems to be an emerging trend toward promiscuous publishing in ‘scientific’ journals. In this case Juul publishes studies supporting its product and eliminates the paywall for access to assure widespread readership!

I didn't know you could do this: Juul, fighting FDA ban, buys entire issue of scientific journal and fills it with company-made studies showing how great vaping is: https://t.co/BcKgyTDnbb

.@Astro_Limno Terrible behavior from a small group of Sapiens - it’s an unfortunate characteristic of our species that floats to the surface. Throughout our history - it floated to the surface. But, it’s a small group and the rest of us will prevail.

I wasn’t aware that MIT and Harvard ‘owned’ “Higher Education’s Future” - so how could they have sold it? https://t.co/GIQaot1T8L

.@ian_34South @TamarHaspel Interesting system - thanks for sharing this.

@TamarHaspel @Guylanza1 You might have heard of these people. Seawater and sunlight. High value crops of course

[Guy Lanza @Guylanza1]

.@TamarHaspel Good point. I think any new form of agriculture that’s less water intensive and economically feasible can - and should - displace conventional agriculture.

[Tamar Haspel @TamarHaspel]

@Guylanza1 But the argument, of course, is that we can grow vegetables with *less* water. If your argument is that new ag is always additive, and never displaces, there's no winning.
