The economic case for methane action is clear.

- Global methane abatement yields large net global economic benefits.
- The benefit-cost ratio of methane action is at least 3—rising to more than 6 when health cobenefits are included.

Tête de Moine cheese is served in fan-shaped, flower-like ribbons. Researchers have found that the frilly forms arise from spatial variations in the properties of the cheese wheel from which the flowers are removed. The insight could help improve the processing of soft materials.
Cheese Flowers Are Shaped by Friction
Scraping the surface of a Tête de Moine cheese wheel produces frilly ribbons whose flower-like forms depend on the local friction.

This is the coolest thing you will see today: Flamingos use head retractions, beak chattering, and webbed foot movements to create underwater vortices that capture prey and funnel it directly into their mouths. 🧪🪶

INRAE, my employer, a French public research centre, **officially** takes position in defense of Science in the USA and Stand Up for Science with a direct message from our CEO.

INRAE also works to put in place positions for colleagues leaving the US.

I am so very proud of this. Scientists Unite!

Lors d'un test consistant à faire passer une forme en "T" au travers de 2 petites ouvertures, un humain fait bien mieux qu'une fourmi.

Mais un groupe de fourmi, lui, peut parfois être plus efficace qu'un groupe d'humains.
