Key Finding: An increase in consumer awareness around GMO-related topics – even in states that didn’t ultimately pass labeling laws – is linked to an increase in demand for non-GMO products.

So when people are aware of GMOs, they'd rather not.

An increase in consumer awareness around GMO-related topics – such as news coverage of legislative debate – is linked to an increase in demand for non-GMO products, even in states that didn’t ultimately pass GMO labeling laws, a new study finds.

Eco-Labelling: Color-coded symbols or "social nudges" on menus influence more to opt for the veggie option vs. beef or chicken.

Is eco-labelling needed?


https://t.co/DA7XUjHej7

Eco-labels can be an effective tool for behavior change and can support circular economy outcomes. They guide consumers to more sustainable product choices and build an incentive for producers to redesign products more generally.

A couple takeaways on snow:

1. Snow absorbs noise (hence those quiet winter days)
2. Snow is "superadsorbent" for pollutants (vehicle exhaust, metals, road salts)

Will eat less snow going forward 😀

Extrachromosomal elements (ECEs) or "borgs," a new discovery in microbial ecology, could be used to reduce methane emissions.

“When I started looking at its genes, most of the genes, about 78%, were completely unknown."

https://t.co/qDWEuc6U2k

A family of large extracellular elements found in pond muck seems to belong to methane-oxidizing archaea – and researchers are investigating whether they might help the microbes neutralize the greenhouse gas more efficiently.

Assessing a child's exposure to air pollution on a monthly basis from conception to the age of 8.5, researchers found the greater the exposure to air pollution before the age of 5, the greater the alteration in brain structure by preadolescence.

This Nature study estimated we have ~6,000 thoughts per day. That's based on 6.5 thoughts/minute for their test participants.

Those 6 thoughts per minute add up!

Explicit self-reflection is unreliable for measuring thoughts. Here, the authors use brain data to implicitly pinpoint transitions between thoughts and find thought turnover to be reliably predicted by narrative events during movie-viewing, as well as by greater trait neuroticism at rest.
