“#Overharvesting threatens ‘Himalayan Viagra’ fungus: IUCN” Whole communities depend on the income they get from harvesting the fungus A parasitic fungus that grows inside the ghost moth caterpillar and then kills its host by bursting through its head is itself threatened with extinction, the IUCN said Thursday, as demand surges for Chinese medicine’s “Himalayan Viagra”….
“#Chinook salmon declines related to changes in freshwater conditions” A juvenile chinook salmon swims in Campbell Creek in Anchorage. Credit: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service A new University of Alaska-led study provides the first evidence that declines in many of Alaska’s chinook salmon populations can be attributed in part to climate-driven changes in their freshwater…
“#Soil carbon research reduces uncertainty in predicting climate change impacts” Argonne scientists were awarded $8 million from ARPA-E to partner with startup companies and help develop new types of advanced reactors with digital twin technology.

A research team led by the Chinese Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU) and the…
“#Nearly all Madagascar’s lemur species ‘face extinction’” Lemurs are hunted for food and the illegal pet trade, while their forests are destroyed Almost all species of lemur, the small saucer-eyed primates native to Madagascar, face extinction, an international conservation body warned on Thursday, adding to its growing list of animals and plants under threat. Of…
“#Attendance, grades, advanced courses best predict if HISD students will go to college” Credit: HERC/Rice Kinder Institute The best way to predict whether Houston ISD students will go to college is to examine a combination of attendance rates, grades, and credits in advanced courses, according to a study by Rice University’s Houston Education Research Consortium…
“#Applying rock dust to croplands could absorb up to 2 billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere” Credit: Dr Dimitar Epihov Adding crushed rock dust to farmland could draw down up to two billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air per year and help meet key global climate targets, according to a major…
“#X-ray scattering shines light on protein folding” Figure. The scientists found that non-functional unfolded forms of the protein cytochrome c follow different pathways and timelines to reach a stable functional folded state. Credit: The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) KAIST researchers have used an X-ray method to track how proteins fold, which…
“#Policy options for resilience-enhancing farm demographics” Credit: SURE-Farm European agriculture as well as the wider economy face substantial demographic changes in the upcoming decades. The baby boomer generation will retire within the next 10 to 15 years and the cohorts of the young generations, which will enter the labor market in the next decades, are…
