Dino extinction researcher committed research misconduct —but not fraud, university report finds

his 2021 paper in

Cheap electricity could recycle animal waste, recover valuable chemicals
Talk about a crappy problem. Every year the world’s livestock farms generate more than 3 billion tons of animal waste, equivalent to more than 9000 Empire State Buildings. All that manure pollutes bodies of water and releases noxious fumes and greenhouse gases. But a new recycling technique could reduce those burdens while turning a profit.
Researchers have shown that they can
use electricity to break down organic nutrients in animal waste
, all while recovering valuable chemicals. Initial projections—reported this month in
Nature Sustainability
—suggest that in most cases the value of these...

Beware Carbon Myopia at COP28: Why Climate and Nature Action Must Now Come Together in the Race for a Liveable Planet
School of fish and coral. Credit: UNDP SeychellesBy Midori PaxtonNEW YORK, Dec 6 2023 (IPS) As COP28 delegates focus on the first Global Stocktake, there is no doubt that the race to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is vital.
