评论了 Microbial Biosensors for Organophosphate Pesticides
This paper is a decade old but it still provides a great framework for how to use microbes (along with chemical titration) to detect and possibly eliminate hazardous compounds

论文

评论了 Accurate classification of cherry fruit using deep CNN based on hybrid pooling approach
I can imagine the cost of specialty produce will decrease over time as we replace human cherry-pickers (ha) with AI-based solutions

论文

评论了 Anatomy of adult Megaphragma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), one of the smallest insects, and new insight into insect miniaturization
Just watched the SciShow video about these wasps (https://youtu.be/jb5Q-wQh4GI). Super cool how small insects can get!!

评论了 Eviction, Health Inequity, and the Spread of COVID-19: Housing Policy as a Primary Pandemic Mitigation Strategy
It is sad that people with comorbidities are the most likely to be evicted during the pandemic. I hope that once eviction bans are lifted in the largest population states these people will be healthy and able to pay back their rent... but it will probably be yet another controversial political disaster.

论文

评论了 Core Concept: Blockchain offers applications well beyond Bitcoin but faces its own limitations
It feels like I learn something new about blockchain technology every day. The applications continue to grow, as do the number of unique blockchains in existence

论文

评论了 Termite-resistant heartwood. Effect of antioxidants on termite feeding deterrence and mortality
Perhaps gut microbiota have an impact on termite feeding preference and/or deterrence?

论文

评论了 Altering the Gut Microbiome of Cattle: Considerations of Host-Microbiome Interactions for Persistent Microbiome Manipulation
This is great step forward for determining how to manipulate microbiomes for environmental impact. Hopefully we can engineer a way for cattle to require/waste less feed, or better yet produce less methane!

论文

评论了 The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2
So many conspiracies yet nobody decided to read this paper 🤔 thank you for your hard work!!

论文

评论了 Termite mounds mitigate half of termite methane emissions
Huge implications for climate change. Most people aren't aware, but termites are responsible for a significant portion of methane emissions

论文

评论了 Epidemiological characteristics, safety and efficacy of medical cannabis in the elderly
Incredibly promising field that still has room to grow! Especially for the reduction of other medications with potentially harmful side effects

论文

评论了 The Walnuts and Healthy Aging Study (WAHA): Protocol for a Nutritional Intervention Trial with Walnuts on Brain Aging
Would other tree nuts with antioxidants and polyphenols have a similar impact as walnuts in this study?

论文

评论了 Strong Social Distancing Measures In The United States Reduced The COVID-19 Growth Rate
We still prevented tens of millions of COVID cases last year!! Good job everybody

论文

评论了 Multiple Insecticide Resistance: An Impediment to Insecticide-Based Malaria Vector Control Program
Multiple resistance is an ever increasing problem to this day. Not just in mosquitoes, but in all insect pests!

论文

评论了 Characterization and engineering of a two-enzyme system for plastics depolymerization
This looks really awesome. Might save the world one day!! Great manuscript

论文

评论了 Utilizing smart-meter data to project impacts of urban warming on residential electricity use for vulnerable populations in Southern California
Obviously SoCal is a great area of climate ranges to test this hypothesis on, but I am also curious how this would play out in more humid environments like the midwest and southeast
