That’s Gwynne Shotwell , COO of SpaceX btw. Maybe the best that could happen to SpaceX. The other one is Shivon Zilis . What role does she have nowadays?

Good point, I had regular roofs in mind because that‘s the context in which I discussed that before.

Not at all. Afaik you won‘t even need wires for that. You can occasionally feed energy into the panels which produces a bit of heat there. It wouldn’t even have to melt (a lot) of snow - just enough that the bulk of it slides off.

Strains from PD patients and healthy controls had different effects in the animal model. See my summary in a top-level comment.

From the paper: "DSV [=Desulfovibrio bacteria] strains isolated from PD patients and healthy individuals appear to have different traits, but it is not yet known how to differentiate between them except as presented in this study.&quot

Here is the paper [0] and an attempt at a summary: A characteristic of Parkinson's disease ("PD") [1] seems to be that there are lumps [2] of a protein (alpha-synuclein, "alpha-syn" [2a]) in the neurons of patients.

> Checking against the datasheet, I came up with ~12.7k to get to 20.4V and the closest I had on hand was 13K You can measure the 13kOhm resistors that you have and see if there is one with a better matching value. 12.7k is ~97-98% of 13
