This is an amazing comic. Thank you to the author for putting everything into an easy to understand format.

Most people have a hard time reading scientific journals (and honestly scientists can have a hard time too) so it’s important to asses articles and information to figure out if they have support for the claims they make.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about vaccines. I am currently pursuing a bioengineering degree and would be more than happy to help everyone learn.

Day 2258 - One of our local organizations who supplies food to those in need has seen demand triple in the last few weeks and put out a call for more volunteer help, so I went this morning and helped chop fruits and vegetables for a few hours.

Ecosia – the search engine that plants trees!

The easiest way to help the environment: Just search the web with www.Ecosia.org instead of Google!

For some quick information: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosia

I wish Apple would allow this as a default search engine in Safari on iOS. I know there’s an app but it’s not convenient the other way. I’ve emailed them a request for it though.

For now I use DuckDuckGo as default then use their !Bang searches for Ecosia. So in Safari’s search bar typing “!ecosia search term” brings up the Ecosia results.

Another alternative is to make sure “Quick Website Search” is turned on in Safari settings, then do a search on the Ecosia site. Afterwards you should see it in the list of sites for a quick search:

That means you can type “eco search term” in your Safari address bar then tap the entry to search Ecosia.

You *do* have to tap the entry though which is why I prefer the first method I posted because I can do it 100% via the keyboard.

The Indigo Milk Cap: an edible blue beauty

Considered by some as a gourmet wild mushroom, and by many other as with mediocre quality, the truth is that the flavor of the stunningly beautiful Lactarius indigo (Russulales - Russulaceae) is supposed to vary more than other mushrooms, depending on the trees they’re associating with, the soil and other aspects of their growing environment.

It has a firm texture and peppery and somewhat bitter taste, but the mushroom can be used for culinary preparations such as pizza toppings, stuffed omelets and stir fry dishes, and is mostly sold in rural markets of China, Mexico and Guatemala.

Here you can find a recipe to cook this beauty.

Had to share this recent update from IBM: a lithium-ion battery that uses seawater instead of heavy metals like cobalt! One that is comparable in performance to a heavy-metal dependent battery! This advancement holds major promise for EVs, energy, general sustainability, and human rights justice from reduced mining impacts. Fingers crossed it scales.

Happy Global Climate Strike Day! My sign’s fairly simple. To be clear, I’m not actually out striking due to work. Hypocritical as that may be, we do what we can. To those out in the trenches, thanks. My heart’s with you all. #11yearsleft #GreenHacks (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pF4bvnQpT/?igshid=1f8etyrm7h08q

Not Global Climate Strike Day, but the spirit’s right. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, all! Give the gift of a healthier planet by purchasing carbon offsets (NOT THE MAIN SOLUTION TO EMISSIONS) for your loved ones, educating yourself, and encouraging others this season.

Best wishes always.
