Good news: EPA regulations dramatically reduced lead exposure in the US since the org was established by Nixon in 1970. Bad news: Trump's EPA is trying to roll back many of those regulations now. 🧪

This is very cool and I strongly support this effort (you may note I almost always tag the astrofeed when I post about astronomy). They need (small) donations, too!

I can't overrecommend this incredible paper about water skaters (genus Halobates). No one knows how they evolved. No one knows what they eat. They are superhydrophobic, which means water LITERALLY CANNOT WET THEM. Perhaps we should call them anti-water skaters? 🌊🧪
