Tree climbing workshop. Dorena Genetic Resource Center. Cottage Grove, Oregon.
Note: Dorena's Tree Climbing Workshop offers, "Hands-on climbing training designed to provide first-time and experienced climbers with the necessary skills to safely access, move about, work in and descend from conifer and hardwood trees. A minimum of three full days of intensive training and practice provide climbers the opportunity to observe, and perform a variety of climbing techniques needed to perform their intended program of work. Tools and equipment necessary for each task are also thoroughly explained and explored. Whether it is cone collection, nest box installation, canopy research or anything in between, our master climber/instructors have the experience and skills, and are willing and able to teach you what you need to know. ..."

Speculating on the Future. Photo showing Prof. Kathleen Machiels (BE).
Modern biotechnology is developing very quickly. In Prometheus' footsteps, we use new biological tools to transform our healthcare and wellbeing. In the future, researchers may develop personal medications and therapies that stop us feeling fatigue or pain, or babies with the DNA of three people that may have been made resistant to COVID19. But these applications are not without danger. Some activists and critics point to the possible social and ethical consequences: what if only the super-rich can make their children more athletic and intelligent? In the light of current debates on the use of genetic modification, BOZAR, Gluon and the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) invite the public to a guided tour in the most fascinating labs in Europe, and discuss scientific, ethical and social issues of the latest technology used in biology labs, through the eyes of artists from the Studiotopia art&science residency programme, Kuang-Yi Ku and Sandra Lorenzi.

note the blond eyebrows, brown hair avec greys and the red (although not too prominent here) moustache...and I need a shave. My genes are very dispersed I am Czech, Danish, English, French, German, Irish, Scottish, and according to my late grandfather a speck of Moorish. Weird indeed.
I did not intend to add this to a cancer survivors group, but it the only portrait of me that I like so consider it added...
The FDA has 60 days to approve or deny the 1st genetically engineered animal to enter the American food supply. The industry states that the manipulated genetic code rapidly increases the salmon growth rate 2x. The industry claims they will increase profits, feed consumers the "seafood" that they desire, and IF the GE fish do not escape captivity, it will sustain the environment.
There are gaps in the studies supporting genetically engineered super-salmon.
Those opposed to the introduction of biotech animals into the human diet fear that it will lead to the decimation of the wild salmon population. Studies show that there is an increase in allergy reactions. There is a concern that by passing the manipulated genetic code in these creatures will open the door to allowing other biotech animals into our food supply.

The following description of the inoculation process at Dorena is excerpted from pages 72 and 73 of the Whitebark Pine Restoration Strategy for the Pacific Northwest Region. 2009–2013 (available here: ecoshare.info/uploads/documents/WPB_Strategy_PNW_093008cl...):
"The Dorena Genetic Resource Center (Dorena), a component of the regional genetics program of Pacific Northwest Region (and a partner with the regional Forest Health Protection group), has established protocols for blister rust resistance testing of whitebark pine. These protocols are based on those developed and successfully used for screening of western white pine (P. monticola) and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) over the past 5 decades (Danchok et al. 2003).
Resistance testing involves inoculation of young (usually 2-year-old) seedlings with spores of C. ribicola and evaluation of seedlings for up to 5 years after inoculation. Inoculation usually takes place in late August or during September (which coincides with time of natural infection in the field). Seedlings are moved into a climate-controlled inoculation chamber. Temperature within the inoculation chamber is maintained at around 16.7° C (62° F) and relative humidity at 100 percent.
Ribes spp. are the alternative host for C. ribicola, and spores from infected Ribes spp. are necessary to infect the pines. Ribes spp. leaves infected with C. ribicola at the telial stage are collected from forests in Oregon and Washington or from the Ribes garden at Dorena. The Ribes leaves are placed on wire frames above the seedlings, telial side down. Spore fall is monitored until the desired (target) inoculum density of basiospores is reached for each box; the Ribes leaves are then removed. After the target inoculum density is reached for the last box, the temperature is raised to 20° C, and the seedlings are left in the inoculation chamber for approximately 48 hours to ensure spore germination and infection of the pine needles.
Following inoculation, the seedlings are transported outside. The seedlings are evaluated over a period of 5 years for the presence of disease symptoms and mortality. The first symptoms to develop are needle lesions, or ‘spots.’ These are typically assessed approximately 9 months and 1 year after inoculation. Presence and number of stem symptoms along with mortality is assessed annually for 5 years after inoculation."

Tom, Tom, Tom. My mysterious uncle. He was born 21 March, 1889 in Kidderminster. Like my grandfather, Thomas was devilishly handsome and not one to follow the law when it came to marriages and divorces. I'll give this to him, he only had two wives living at the same time and not three, as my grandfather did.
Thomas married Sarah Triggs Wile, a widow who was eleven years his senior on 24 December, 1908. Perhaps unsurprisingly, by 1926, the age difference may have become too much. Sarah begins listing herself as a widow in the local directory, and Tom scarpered to Philadephia, near his sister Nell, and married again to a woman named Florence who died in 1980, but there is no record of Thomas's death or burial. No one in the family knows his fate. His last appearance on record is in 1947 in Freehold, New Jersey.

Japan has criminally allowed children to return to the poisonous, radioactive death zones created by the MELTDOWN of #1-FUkUshima Dirty Pile Reactor. The kids live in shelters, they can't leave to go & play outside, & then attend a school that is contaminated with radioactive fallout & dust, & sooner lor later, will get radiation SICKNESS, POISONING which makes you sleepy, lethargic & nauseated, & will sterilize growing children, so they will not be able to reproduce-or will produce mutations & hideous genetic deformations. NO WORRY, says Japan Official pigs, that old worker DIED OF OLD AGE, HE DDN'T DIE IN THE #1REACTOR TOMB because of radiation--even though he worked @ FUKu since March 11th! SURE!
