Fascinating list of the scientists who have saved the most lives, via @maxroser.bsky.social at @ourworldindata.org ,

2 of the top 3 are food related:

#1 - Haber & Bosch, for synthetic nitrogen (2.3 billion)
#3 - Norman Borlaug, for high-yield crops (245 million)

It’s where I’m heading, actually. Visited all other big-name cities/town on the Belgian coast, De Haan was always on the list but now I have a good excuse to go

Have $10M and want to cure some diseases?

It costs ~$1B to invent a new medicine…but $10M buys you Project Encore, to see if ANY existing drug might be repurposed for ~100 diseases that have no treatments.

Israel’s Last Chance Flooding Gaza with food is the only way out of a crisis largely created by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

"Every image of a child with protruding ribs is both a human tragedy and a propaganda victory for Hamasβ€”and proof of how a just war badly lost the plot. I believed in Israel’s casus belli. I don’t believe in this."

Science Is Winning the Tour de France Why today’s competitors far surpass the cheating champions of yesteryear

Science Is Winning the Tour de France. Data, nutrition, equipment, and training are propelling riders to performances that best the dopers of yesteryear. β€œIn other words, Armstrong on dope then would be an also-ran next to Pogačar today.” [theatlantic.com]

That’s an excellent framing. I’ve been unknowingly doing this already, where if my conviction is high but not high enough to invest, I’d focus my feedback on perceived weaknesses. Haven’t had someone change my mind yet but fingers crossed.

It’s not all bad. More needs to be done but look at Anspach. Imho, our city centre is way more walkable than Paris (different scales of course but still)

Or OpenAI becomes the publishing platform, allowing you to skip the β€œmiddle men” and reach your readers/listeners directly through their app… maybe ChatGPT will become the first real everything-app

I think we’ll start seeing even more paywalled content because of this, especially if producing said content is your main livelihood
