Boreal forests shade permafrost so effectively that summer thaw stays about one metre shallower

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence

Thick forest canopies keep northern permafrost cool, safeguarding vast carbon stores. This natural shade prevents soil thawing and the release of greenhouse gases. Researchers discovered this vital cooling service has been largely overlooked in climate models. Losing these forests means losing this crucial protection for underground carbon. Protecting these boreal forests is therefore extremely important

Montana’s plan to become an experimental medical hub just pushed forward

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), App, Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology and health, Summary

As of this week in Montana, any biotech company with an experimental drug has a clear path to selling it to consumers. Companies whose drugs have been through preliminary testing—sometimes in as few as 10 healthy people—can pay $12,500 to apply to a newly established review board for approval. Once its treatment is rubber-stamped, the
