Interesting that you did not succeed negotiating. We had a case where our open-access fund would only help out if the fee was $2000 maximum. We communicated that to the journal and they obliged without further comment. (Though this was afte

Not necessarily. There are so many cases (even in industrialized countries) of former bog areas turned into farmland by lowering the water level that a biogas plant from corn grown on such ground produces 8 times the CO_2 a lignite plant wo

Not necessarily. Live != civilization, so just because many planets may have developed live (or obtained it via panspermia) but only very few (or one) have developed multi-cellular live (which even on earth is quite recent) and even less a

No, its also based on the fact that older parents (and especially fathers) lead to more de-novo mutations (which you can already see in sperm) and in this study now they show that especially de-novo mutations play a role. If the older paren

At work we use conda which works great, though nvidia libraries are usually installed by admins system wide. But for anything python related, conda is perfect.

Berlin just opened its 61st mall (all in the order of 20+ shops) a few month back, so at least in the centre they are going strong.

This statement is actually wrong since Germany has a population of about 10-20 elk (and more are migrating from Poland). But yes, last year we also had a car crash with an elk in Brandenburg but only the animal and its unborn died.

In addition to what other have said, I think the part mammoths play in pop culture plays a huge part here. Nobody would be (or rather is as those already exist) interested in some worm frozen worm or even the equally interesting woolly rhin

While the scale required is huge, mammoths are just one of the players here. I am not sure if you have heard of pleistocene park were they have started with horse, karibou, sheep, yak and a few others and already seen some effects. All thos

A small comment on one of these technologies: cell-free DNA. A big problem in innovating there is that THE big backbone technology player Illumina (for DNA sequencing) has its own big research initiative (named grail) in the field. I know

In addition to what others have said, you could still use biogas or synthetic derivatives when you really have to. It becomes more expensive and people do not like that but I would not call it a ban.

Aren't you supposed (at least when you have a single house) to couple it with a geothermal energy so that your external temperature is always the years median of around 9 C?

It is a bit more complicated than that. The landlords are not raising the rent much (because laws exist already in that place) but rather 'offer' a new snow service (that you have to get, even though that we have maybe 2 half snow

As your parent comment suggested, the human generation cycle is not measured in days and it would need hundreds of years to manifest such a trait in the population. Also, this impacts testing as well, so development cycles will be slow too.

For the primary source of general heating yes. As a secondary to heat the living room oven, I highly doubt that, too many relatives that I just bought lignite with last autumn. Could be more prominent in eastern Germany though.

From my point of view, this is only about the general electricity generation. I mean, a lot of people are still using lignite to warm their house in the winter and knowing the lifetime of personal homes in Europe, we cannot really expect th
