@ChefJoAnna tells me “I feel like I'm a scientist at heart, I just happen to manipulate food scientifically (thermotechnology, applied physics, organic chemistry, etc.) If you look at a recipe like a formula, it's a scientific process!”

RIP: The man who bent light! Narinder Singh Kapany, inventor of fiber optics. Without it, the Internet and modern telecommunications would not be possible, nor the most advanced biomedical instrumentation, nor the efficient use of solar energy. bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/phy…
Dr Kapany’s research on fibre optic communications, lasers, bio-medical instrumentation, solar energy and pollution monitoring led him to gather more than 100 patents. In 1960, he founded Optics Technology Incorporation & again in1973, he founded Kaptron Inc.
Les Mées solar farm, in the rolling hills of La Colle des Mées plateau, in southern France. Covering an area of 200 ha with 112,000 solar modules. Operated by Siemens Energy, generates 100MW, enough to power 12,000 typical French households.
Heartburn drug Pepcid in clinical trial against #COVID19. A 44-year-old woman had tested positive for COVID-19, developed fever, lips became dark blue. One day after her first megadose the her fever broke, her oxygen saturation returned to a normal range
“Five sick co-workers, including three with confirmed COVID-19, also showed dramatic improvements after taking over-the-counter versions of the drug”
Doctors got curious as why many of the survivors tended to be poor? In reviewing 6212 COVID-19 patient records, many survivors had been suffering from chronic heartburn were on famotidine rather than more-expensive omeprazole (Prilosec), the medicine of choice both in US & China
Firm says it could make 10 million doses vaccine per month against the #coronavirus, if approved by FDA. Medicago CEO Bruce Clark said they could produce as many as 10 million doses a month. How could they do that so fast? Using plant GMO, that’s how! defenseone.com/technology/202…
Medicago doesn’t work with a live virus. Instead, it uses GMO plants. The plant begins to produce the protein that can then be used as a vaccine. If the virus begins to mutate, as is expected for COVID-19, they can just update the production using new plants.
So a plant GMO-based vaccine can now save the world against a deadly scourge #coronavirus?
