The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.

It’s an important step to cleaning up our river. Real-time, public reporting on sewer overflows 🙌. Thank you City of Ottawa and Ottawa Riverkeeper! #swimdrinkfish #Ottawa
Big news for Ottawa’s rivers: the City of Ottawa has launched a real-time sewer overflow map.
It’s a major step for transparency—showing where overflows are happening, or have recently occurred, across the city.

Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario collectively hold ~20% of the planet's freshwater - 6 quadrillion gallons! That's enough to submerge the entire continental US in nearly 10 feet of water!
