A TRIBUTE to Legendary Bass Player • RON CARTER • Saguaro • 1977

   

My tribute to one of THE BADDEST bass players to ever walk (and I mean WALK!) the planet earth... the number of equally legendary people he has played with and his contributions to the world of music are likely inestimable and beyond prolific... even if you've never heard of him... you've probably still heard him but just didn't realize it...

Bees Absolutely Love Cannabis and It Could Help Restore Their Populations

Great news for the environment!

ELIAS MARAT | TME

Bees are major fans of hemp and a recent study has found that the taller the hemp plants are the larger the number of bees that will flock to it.

The new research, spearheaded by researchers at Cornell University and published last month in Environmental Entomology, shows that humans aren’t the only fans of weed. The findings also reinforce a study published last year at Colorado State University that discovered the same thing.

The study shows how bees are highly attracted to cannabis due to the plant’s plentiful stores of pollen, and it could pave the way for scientists to figure out new ways to support their struggling population as well as floral populations.

The pandemic appears to have spared Africa so far. Scientists are struggling to explain why. (But afro-p offers the most likely theory...)

Linda Nordling | SCIENCE

Although Africa reported its millionth official COVID-19 case last week, it seems to have weathered the pandemic relatively well so far, with fewer than one confirmed case for every thousand people and just 23,000 deaths so far. Yet several antibody surveys suggest far more Africans have been infected with the coronavirus—a discrepancy that is puzzling scientists around the continent. “We do not have an answer,” says immunologist Sophie Uyoga at the Kenya Medical Research Institute–Wellcome Trust Research Programme.
