Watchman Mk. IV Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 18 minutes ago, Starlord said: The Matter-eater Lad enzyme Interesting, but the point made at the end of the article should be stressed: Quote Prof Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure the technology does not solve one environmental problem – waste – at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thank God that CNN dropped user comments from their web interface, because this could have gotten incredibly nasty: Mariah Carey had to hold out for 17 years to discuss her Bipolar II diagnosis due to the stigma attached. However you feel about her as an artist (I envy the strength and range of her voice), the stigma associated with mental illness is a horrible cross to bear, and one I have borne most of my life. So this article spoke to me. Pariah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
