So in order to encourage creativity, I told my genetics students they needed to have more than a standard PowerPoint for their final project
Which is how we ended up with a presentation on tardigrade genetics delivered entirely in rhyming couplets

“The scientists do not know exactly what has caused this pandemic, but Cano said humans were ‘probably involved’ in the distribution of the disease. Current theories about its transmission include shipping, changes to currents and abnormal wave activity.” 🦠🪸 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Government is lying to you about Climate Change.
To be clear: the new, near-exclusive emphasis on natural causes of climate change on the U.S. EPA's website is now completely out of synch with all available evidence demonstrating overwhelming human influence on contemporary warming trends.
