“In ‘The Last of Us’ universe, rising temperatures cause Cordyceps to evolve and adapt to human body temperatures. Concerningly, this somewhat parallels real life. Climate change is another risk factor for fungal diseases that has given rise to a worrisome pathogen. ‘What does concern me as an infectious disease physician is a relatively new fungus called Candida auris,’ says Roberts. ‘This fungus spreads person-to-person, which hasn’t really been reported before.’ First identified in 2009, …

“The Last of Us” Apocalypse Is Not Realistic, But Rising Threat of Fungal Pathogens Is
Cordyceps, or Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, is a real fungus that parasitizes the brains of insects like ants or spiders. Fortunately for humankind, while

Der Deal ist: wir machen das mit der repräsentativen Demokratie, damit wir einigen ausgewählten Profis das mit dem Aushandeln, Gesetze schreiben und verabschieden und regieren überlassen können – mit anderen Worten: die gesellschaftlichen Probleme zu bearbeiten und Lösungen zu entwickeln die für uns alle tragbar sind –, während wir Zeit für schöne Dinge (ok, und zum Arbeiten und Wohnung putzen) haben.
Stattdessen verkauft die Regierung uns an die Überreichen und Faschisten, während sie…

These tropical trees breathe at night to survive drought
Some tropical trees have evolved a clever way to survive drought by taking in carbon dioxide at night, allowing them to keep their pores closed during the hot daytime and conserve water. By comparing three Clusia species, researchers discovered that this water-saving form of photosynthesis, known as CAM, did not arise through a single evolutionary change. Instead, ancient genome duplications followed by millions of years of genetic reshuffling produced strikingly different strategies, from stro…

Pangolin DNA study links local wild meat markets to global trafficking networks
Pangolin scales and other body parts trafficked internationally appear to come from the same areas that supply the animals for local wild meat markets, a new study has found. It created a DNA database and location-prediction model for three threatened species: the white-bellied (Phataginus tricuspis), Sunda (Manis javanica) and Chinese (Manis pentadactyla) pangolins. Pangolins are […]

Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything
Donald: Yes there is, but I won't tell you what it is.
Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every d…
