Wanna learn something cool today?! Watch this!! ? Building next-generation sequencing (NGS) capacity is essential to accelerate scientific discovery and inform the subsequent actions needed to address risks and challenges to the environment like the two big Cs - climate change - especially in unique geographies like New Zealand, and the wider South-West Pacific. Thanks to scientific leaders like Anastasija Zaiko (Sequench) and Xavier Pochon (Cawthron Institute) who are using Illumina #NGS to analyse and understand our oceans, and the plants and animals within #eDNA we can get a better understanding on what's really going on and what needs to be done to take care of our oceans, the planet, and improve human health. Now you know ?? watch this space!!

As many within our #CollectiveConsciousness can now attest, there does seem to be a great divide happening within our very own species. Where one half of the population seems to be increasingly #devolving into a lower expression of itself, from either fear or manipulation by a mass media that has somehow led them to act in ways that betray their very own nature's, while still others seem to be #evolving at an accelerated rate! With the later of the two then moving towards breaking free of an old ideal that can no longer support the weight of our evolved states of being. Two polar opposite paths that each of us are now facing, but that leaves us all wondering what on Earth is actually happening here? Enter #SpiralDynamics, and the model it presents for how a species evolves or devolves over time. A predictive dialer that can best shed some light over the division we are all now witnessing, so as to better understand its #purpose & function towards our own evolutionary stance. Only do me a favor & watch the video that accompanies this piece, as regardless of whether you're a person of #faith, a #Philosopher or even an #Atheist, I promise you all, I've got you covered! Because if you do, everything that lay within this presentation will become crystal clear to you, where this #model & explanation may just help further our understanding, as to what is actually at play here. SEW let's begin. At the foundational level of Spiral Dynamics, it speaks to an evolutionary charting system that explains each phase of our species development through a color coded system over time. Where each layer is built upon the last, but that for some of us, might make more sense if seen through the lens of different grade levels within the great Earth Academy. Remembering in advance that there is no wrong way to be, as every evolutionary leap forward, comes at the feet of those who laid the foundational work before. Stage 1 is beige, the most primal & animalistic expression of ourselves. Think Cavemen & Women. Stage 2 is purple, where nature & the cosmos are freightening, and where those Spirits must be praised. Think the Greek & Mayan temples. Stage 3 is red, the world is tough & dangerous, and we must fight to survive in spite of what others want. Think the Middle ages. Stage 4 is blue, where we must obey a higher authority, where only the dogmatically faithful can be saved. Stage 5 is orange, programmatically testing for advantages. Think fields of Science & exploration. Stage 6 is green, where we share a habitat for all of humanity. Think New Age. STAGE 7 IS YELLOW, WHERE WE'RE AT RISK OF UTTER COLLAPSE, AND WHERE THE PURSUIT OF #FREEDOM COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY. Stage 8 is TURQUOISE, REALIZING THAT WE ARE ONE ENTITY BROKEN UP INTO PARTS, all seeking order beneath the chaos! Look familiar?

Very inspiring article showcasing scientists from a range of different fields and career stages who decided to engage in climate activism. Please share. Myself, I am a quantum physicist who joined Extinction Rebellion about a year and half ago. When I take to the streets, I purposefully do so not only as a deeply concerned citizen. I explicitly and vocally take action in my capacity as a scientist. That does raise some eyebrows among colleagues, who believe that science should always be objective and non-political. To a point, they are right. But in the case of climate change, I believe we passed that point long ago. What I also hear a lot is that my expertise, quantum physics, is not relevant in the climate debate. Correct, it is not. But I am a scientist first, and a quantum physicist second. When engaging in climate activism, I do that as a scientist in general. In view of the gravity and urgency of the situation, I would find it very strange if scientist remain silent. We have an important role to play in encouraging and supporting citizens who want to take action. Science told them that there is a problem, so scientists should be there to back them up if they want to fix it. To me, that is completely justified and appropriate. Finally, people try to warn me that being a climate activist might hurt my scientific credibility and reputation. In the eyes of some, that may indeed be the case. But I also receive lots of positive comments. And if, eventually, it really does cost me my reputation, then that's one reputation well spent. Because in the end, there can be no science on a dead planet.

Here's the original, expanded version of the essay I wrote about my career path to becoming a marine biologist which was originally published last month at PBS Nature for Women's History Month.

Exploring Mars Through Swift’s Eyes: Gulliver’s Travels and Today’s Space Race In the age of groundbreaking advancements, colonizing Mars showcases human ambition. However, Jonathan Swift’s satire in "Gulliver’s Travels" (Laputa chapter) reminds us to balance this with addressing earthly needs. In Laputa, society is absorbed in abstract science, neglecting practical issues. Today’s Mars initiatives can mirror this, diverting resources from urgent global problems like hunger and poverty. Just as Laputans are detached from reality, Mars colonization investments can appear detached from the pressing needs of billions lacking basic necessities. For instance, around 733 million people faced hunger in 2023, which is equivalent to one in eleven people globally and one in five in Africa. We must prioritize solving terrestrial issues first. Swift critiques the impractical use of resources in Laputa. Similarly, funds for Mars could alleviate global challenges like food security and healthcare, emphasizing a balance between scientific pursuits and human welfare. It’s essential to find a balance where scientific curiosity and human welfare coexist, especially considering that approximately 3.5 billion people live on less than $6.85 per day, which is the poverty line relevant for upper-middle-income countries. The push for Mars is driven by corporate interests, yet it risks overlooking immediate human needs. For instance, companies like SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, and Blue Origin are developing commercial services for Mars missions. The estimated costs for human missions to Mars range from $300 billion to $600 billion. Swift’s critique urges us to ensure technological advancements serve the greater good, not just profit. Swift questions the essence of progress—technology versus improving human conditions. Mars colonization should inspire sustainable innovations, addressing global challenges while benefiting humanity. Swift’s Laputa teaches us to balance interplanetary ambitions with human welfare. The quest for Mars can coexist with efforts to alleviate hunger, poverty, and inequality, reflecting a holistic view.
