Tonight I ran from my house north to the Trinity city hall and back. It's been raining a lot for the past couple of days and it just cleared out a few hours ago so the temperature was still cool. I listened to podcasts about the prospects of understanding the aging process in terms of the genes that are active. Single gene deletions or activations can double the lifespans of nematode worms and mice, for example. Another was about the impact that an inuit tribe had on the ecosystem of an artic lake 400 years ago by butchering whales in the watershed of the lake. The resulting nutrient flow into the lake made algal blooms that could be seen in the diatom fossil record of the sediments. Lastly, there was a segment about a catalytic hydrogen generation method that used ethanol as the feedstock and had twice the efficiency as burning the ethanol directly.
