It’s great that so many people came!
Bark is home to communities of microbes that consume different gases from air, new research finds. The types of microbe & the gases they consume vary between tree species & location, but the study found all absorbed hydrogen.

![Excerpt reads: "Prioritize your neighborhood
Neighborhoods drive our happiness (or unhappiness) more than we think.
When Lina Martinez, director of POLIS, the Center for Wellbeing Studies at Universidad Icesi in Colombia, studied the happiness of households in the city of Cali, she couldn’t find much difference between poorer and richer areas. “Their happiness is pretty much the same,” she said. But that changed when she isolated neighborhood conditions, such as access to transit, health care and parks. “The conditions of the neighborhood affect happiness,” she said. “I can’t link that to the space where [people] live.”
That aligns with findings from a 2023 study of the Vancouver metro area: Researchers found no significant differences in well-being between people living in single detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, laneway houses and apartment buildings (basement units smaller than 300 square feet were the only negative exception). What did people say they missed most in their neighborhood? Affordability, proximity to family and friends, and a sense of community. Home design was eighth on the list."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreicapfknasylzk2lqzaxxeb5mchgnru75obggn45dusda6j5zogvuu)

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

thank you ;) fascinates me every year how all the talks are online minutes after they are concluded! Shout out to the amazing media team at #39c3
Morgen bin ich auf dem #39C3 , um dort über Ausländerbehörden zu sprechen, die Handys durchsuchen. Ihr könnt auch im Stream zuschauen. ✌️

Valid point, the biggest struggle seems in commercialising opportunities. Is there viable patents in CDR that provide revenue beyond its core application?

Catch me today at #ethtokyo where I’ll be speaking in 45min about #desci speak.ethtokyo.org/conference-2...
Wild things are cooking: "This is a rich and highly generative concept—one that hints at a Cambrian explosion of combinatorial innovation in decentralized science" #DeSci #micdrop
Next week I'll be giving a short talk at Protocol Berg in Berlin sharing some insights into distributed and concurrent programming. For those who cannot attend in person, it will be streamed and recorded, but I have a couple of ticket vouchers. Please drop me a message if you'd like to get one 😉

A group of senior scientists at the National Institutes of Health who were about to lose their positions on 8 March learned at the last minute that they still have a job—at least for another year.
Still, the experience has left some battered. scim.ag/3DN1N8t
