Scientist have designed a new low cost alternative to the PCR, that is just as efficient though takes less time to get a result which is done via the smartphone. It is called "Harmony COVID-19".
They are currently looking at supplying hospitals and clinics. Then in the second step, bring out home versions. The design was made to be as easy as self-home tests.
This has the potential of reducing the financial and time burden put onto the individual.
Scientist have found a bacteria that can produce protein-rich fishmeal by feasting on methane captured from landfills, oil and gas facilities, or wastewater treatment plants.
This could be one way to reduce global warming while producing a profit, since currently fishmeal needs either water, land, and/or fertilizer to be produced.
Methane is 80 time more potent at warming than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Plus the primary contributor to the formation of ground-level ozone, which is a hazardous air pollutant that causes 1 million premature deaths yearly.
In the end, one is reducing surface area usage, removing a toxic gas, and making a profit.

You probably have heard that blue light can keep you longer awake, which most devices emit. Though did you know that blue light is the cause for age related vision loss.
Now one would think, that devices have only been around for a couple of decades, so where is this damage coming from. The answer is the sun. Though the sunlight provides a whole spectrum of light, which include infrared light, which counteracts most of the negative effects of blue light. And in comparison sunlight is about 10 times stronger than the blue light from devices. So sunglasses could help reduces the amount of damaging blue light can reach your eyes.
Another option are dried goji berries, which one can imagine as sunscreen for one's eyes.

I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot
