A paper in Nature Communication reports on a new method to produce strong, biodegradable plastic from bamboo. The bioplastic resembles oil-based plastics in strength, shapeability, and thermal stability but can biodegrade in soil within 50 days. go.nature.com/4h1xv0X 🧪
This is figure 5, which shows processability and formability of BM-plastics for diverse products.

Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

As someone who has also dealt with “fuck, I’ve been consuming 10x more lead than recommended exposure limit for years”, you should obviously switch products, but try not to beat yourself up about past exposure.

In healthy adults, removing the source is likely to clean up any issues in ~months.
