Mediterranean food has long been an amazing broker of scientific interactions. I’ve lost count of how many int collaborations I’ve initiated or strengthened —and conflicts resolved— over a paella or a cocido. No wonder it also helps to ease political tensions 👉🏻 www.frontiersin.org/journals/pol...

Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.
"We found that the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so. That is ... why we have to act really fast to cut down emissions,” says @rahmstorf.bsky.social in @theguardian.com's report on a new #AMOC study: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds
Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine-containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines....
