😲 Two recent studies from China look at the truly wide diversity of RNA viruses found in ticks.
"Extensive diversity of RNA viruses in ticks revealed by metagenomics in northeastern China"
doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0…
"Metavirome of 31 tick species provides a compendium of 1,801 RNA virus genomes"
nature.com/articles/s41564-022…
A lot of insights in these two studies, so I'll just point out a few things that I personally found interesting.

Retired NASA Earth Radiation Budget Satellite to Reenter Atmosphere

Thank you for your service ERBS!
Somewhere around 235,000 orbits of the earth if it's doing 16 laps a day?
Wow, did it really travel >5B miles? It's crazy it's traveling distances comparable to voyagers just 'running laps around the house' instead of into the great unknown.

if the good in question was “food” and reducing the price meant that more people could to afford to eat enough to not starve to death, would it not be a stupid argument to complain that the grocery store was just as empty below the supply of food was increasing?
Because that’s what complaining about “Induced Demand” sounds like to me.
