Whales, particularly baleen species, produce vast amounts of nitrogen-rich urine—up to 250 gallons daily per fin whale—which acts as a fertilizer for nutrient-poor tropical waters. This process, dubbed the "great whale pee funnel," transports approximately 4,000 tons of nitrogen annually across ocean basins, supporting phytoplankton growth and marine food chains. #science #ecology #wildlife #nature

Dear Friends,
These two trees, a beech on the left, a walnut on the right have been objects of admiration for some time.
Yesterday, the sky was this gray.
Recalling this moment -
the cool air moving above and around,
through my nose, into my lungs, then back out
head upward - breathe, click, breathe.
Stating the obvious - all of this is a miracle.

In the Pinball World of Asteroids, a Mudball Meteorite Avoided Collisions
In April 2019, rare primitive meteorites fell near the town of Aguas Zarcas in northern Costa Rica. In an article published online in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, an international team of researchers describe the circumstances of the fall and show that mudball meteorites are not necessarily weak.

"[creator of open source genetic database OpenSNP] Greshake Tzovaras says that he is particularly concerned about the rise of DNA phenotyping, which is a dubious process in which DNA “portraits” of potential suspects are generated based on a DNA sample; he called the practice “unreliable nonsense,” and said that a startup had once approached OpenSNP to help them create a DNA phenotyping product to sell to law enforcement. "That's something we don't want to see in the world," he said.
“Across the globe there is a rise in far-right and other authoritarian governments. While they are cracking down on free and open societies, they are also dedicated to replacing scientific thought and reasoning with pseudoscience across disciplines,” Greshake Tzovaras wrote. “The risk/benefit calculus of providing free & open access to individual genetic data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago. And so, sunsetting openSNP – along with deleting the data stored within it – feels like it is the most responsible act of stewardship for these data today.”
