Best money I’ve ever spent they give you a 15x 15 ft area of no mosquitoes. Works in Alaska so it should work anywhere with mosquitoes. We have times where the mosquitoes are so think you go insane but thermacell creates a invisible area they don’t want to come near so keep in on you or near you.

    Having first heard about the microbiota-brain axis in a lecture, I think we should also take a moment to appreciate how gut microbiota keep us healthy. Although the precise interplay is not clear, it seems like that certain bacteria in our gut impact decrease risk of acquiring certain neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. Species of the genus Akkemansia might even increase the efficiency of anti-cancer treatments (I made a video about this some weeks ago)! Really astonishing how much we still can learn, right?

    I have a friend who’s chemical engineering dissertation was on microbes that could digest rubber because recycling car tires is kind of near impossible. She’s very risk averse so I remember that at some point someone from a Chinese university wasn’t sure how to get a sample of “bugs” through customs so they posted her a book with a like sample bag bookmark. She must’ve thought it was anthrax because she autoclave’d the whole package! I think the mechanical engineers would have just yolo’d with it but maybe there’s a reason that we didn’t get an autoclave (the undergrads are savages who would probably try to make extremely grilled cheese or something)

    I wondered what happened to the igNobel award-winning study with rubbish-eating panda poop, or rather bacteria isolated from it. It seemed like it might be a hopeful way to deal with rubbish, reducing domestic waste by 80-90%, presumably including plastic rubbish!? I wondered if other animals eating tough plants, including other smaller members of the grass family, had similarly powerful bacteria hiding away.
    Mealworms happily eat polystyrene/styrofoam, and that's something to do with gut bacteria as well. I mean dung can have environmental consequences when mass released, as can bacteria. The bacteria behind the orange grime on shower curtains was experimentally mass released over an area in America and it had long term ecological and health consequences. It always surprises me however that plastic being essentially just hydrocarbon like everything else has less microbial breakdown and that nothing significant has evolved in order to take advantage of the energy source that is now so ubiquitous, and thus break it down. I have a feeling that some refuse tips have got some plastic breakdown going on. I don't know if anyone is checking!?

    Infecting mosquitos with wolbachia sounds like potentially disasterous. I mean wolbachia in other species is associated with the ability of the host to reproduce asexually via parthenogenesis and an increase in the percentage of the species made up of females (which is the sex that bite people and animals). So we could see a mosquito that is cabable of reestablish itself faster after droughts and insecticide campaigns, with a higher percentage of of the bity kind, and if we are really unlucky wolbachia might help them resist other bacterial and viral pathogens that is currently killing off mosquitos.

    As someone who grew up about a mile from the Lake Michigan shore, let me just say: eff zebra mussels. They eat so much that they throw the plankton balance out of whack, leading to this one algae growing like crazy. When this algae washes up on shore in hugs amounts and starts to decay, it literally smells like raw sewage. The stench is so strong that if you walked outside or opened a window where I grew up, it was like sticking your head in a sewer. So many summer days were ruined because it just stunk too damn much to go outside. You go, P. fluorescens- take these smelly buggers down!

    At 2:06, habitat loss is driven mostly by increased agriculture. The land taken by urbanization is almost insignificant. Also, Australia has frequent wildfires. In prior decades, they have been much worse. Over 100 people were arrested in the last few months in Australia for setting some of these fires. So there is no proof that these fires were caused by climate change.

    taxpayers have to continuously pay for cleanup
    ok.. but why?
    the corporation that created that waste should have to pay every penny of clean up costs
    period.
    its time to hold the rich and their corporations responsible.

    I think the concern for any tampering with nature is that a microbe may do good for certain things, but what if the microbe affects something else? Something else could be adversely affected by certain microbes artificially introduced for another concern.
    Then the balance game - Does the good outweigh the harm?
    Thank you for sharing helpful and informative videos!
