mauzy··on Peanut allergies have plummeted in children
Bizarre that this is the top comment as this would drastically increase the frequency of peanut allergies and, more than likely, end in multiple deaths. Research strongly suggests that the key is that the child eats peanuts before being exposed via other vectors (skin/lung) to avoid allergic reactions. Arisolizing the relevant proteins around infants is essentially fast tracking allergic reactions.

Probably even before Mt. Rainier goes the Pacific Northwest is going to experience one of if not the largest earthquake in the continental US in hundreds of years. The fault up there makes ours down in California look like a child’s toy.

We’re talking 1 in 3 chance in the next 50 years.

mauzy··on RNA breakthrough creates crops that can grow 50 percent more potatoes, rice
While the statement implying that modern farmers are good Shepard's of soil quality is... debatable at best and I'd argue mostly false it is certainly true that, as a rule, deeper / larger root structures benefit soil rather than diminishing. Especially within the same family of crops deeper roots will always result in a healthier soil than shallow.
