A diverse range of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans, who have become the dominant species through our own population, as well as the animals we breed and raise for food.
What is the distribution of the global mammal kingdom today?

Dear #photography people,
I am looking for a Lightroom alternative, to edit photos.
Low cost of subscription.
Suggestions, please?

I am reading HBR’s book on Mental Toughness and it is such a great read! If you want to read into the makings of a ‘corporate athlete’, its a great book!

The choice of linear baseline in DSC curves
Especially for deconvolution work and subsequent estimations
Without explanation or stating constant Cp assumption for sample polymer
TRIGGERS all sorts of things in me!
Difficult day.
