U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 24 to expedite the process of exploring and mining for valuable minerals found on the deep ocean seafloor, in both U.S. and international waters. It’s a highly controversial move that critics say imperils an important but poorly understood ecosystem and flouts international rules on deep-sea mining. Miners are mainly after potato-size nodules lying at the bottom of the ocean 4,000–5,500 meters (12,000–18,000 feet) deep. They contain minerals, including nickel, cobalt and magnesium, used in batteries and various other industrial applications. Trump’s tariffs will likely raise the costs of mineral imports, particularly from China, a leading exporter. In a post on X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Today’s @POTUS executive order makes it clear: the United States – not China – will lead the world in responsibly unlocking seabed mineral resources and securing critical mineral supply chains with our partners and allies.” However, the move is likely to anger many allies. Mining companies have been eager to work in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ), in the central Pacific Ocean. Nodules there are estimated to contain more nickel, cobalt and magnesium than all terrestrial sources combined. However, miners have been held at bay by the U.N.- affiliated International Seabed Authority (ISA), as its 169 member states (plus the EU) slowly draft rules to govern seabed mining. The U.S. isn’t an ISA member, and the Trump administration says it can use the 1980 Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act to grant mineral…This article was originally published on Mongabay

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, facing criticism of his stewardship at the Pentagon and beset by staff turnover, added a member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to his circle of close advisers.

In 1924, motivated by the rising eugenics movement, the United States passed the Johnson–Reed Act, which limited immigration to stem “a stream of alien blood, with all its inherited misconceptions”. A century later, at a campaign event last October, now US President Donald Trump used similar eugenic language to justify his proposed immigration policies, stating that “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now”.

If left unchallenged, a rising wave of white nationalism in many parts of the globe could threaten the progress that has been made in science — and broader society — towards a more equitable world1.

As scientists and members of the public, we must push back against this threat — by modifying approaches to genetics education, advocating for science, establishing and leading diverse research teams and ensuring that studies embrace and build on the insights obtained about human variation.

The Scoop on Green Poop and Solar Troops: A Correlative Ride Through Bulgaria's Google Searches and Solar Power Generation Christopher Harris, Amelia Tate, George P Truman Abstract In this research paper, we delve into the unexpected intertwining of bathroom habits and renewable energy in Bulgaria. Leveraging data from Google Trends and the Energy Information Administration, our study investigates the potential connections between the peculiar query "why do I have green poop" and the solar power generated in the sunny land of Bulgaria. With a correlation coefficient of -0.9543951 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the time period spanning 2009 to 2021, our findings reveal a surprising inverse relationship between individuals' curiosity about their fecal coloration and the nation's solar energy production. As we unravel this charming correlation, we invite readers to reflect on the curious twists and turns of human behavior and renewable resources, and perhaps even ponder the enchanting potential for "green" energy to inspire "green" queries in the digital sphere. So, join us on this whimsical journey through the poppy fields of data analysis, and let's illuminate the quirky connections that lie beneath the sun and the search bar.

1. Introduction The confluence of human curiosity and renewable energy sources has long been a subject of fascination. In this paper, we embark on a journey that may initially seem whimsical, but in fact, holds intriguing insights into the interconnectedness of human behavior and environmental phenomena. Our exploration takes us to the hallowed land of Bulgaria, where the interplay between Google searches for "why do I have green poop" and solar power generation has emerged as an unexpected focal point of analysis. The allure of solar energy, with its promise of sustainability and eco-friendliness, stands in contrast to the seemingly mundane queries about fecal hues. Yet, as we dig deeper into the data, we uncover a correlation that offers a unique perspective on the symbiotic relationship between human inquisitiveness and the harnessing of renewable resources. While some may initially raise an eyebrow at the intersection of gastrointestinal concerns and solar technology, our findings beckon us to reconsider the boundaries of seemingly disparate realms. By examining the statistical relationship between these seemingly incongruous variables, we aim to shed light on the captivating complexity of human behavior and its potential intersection with ecological pursuits.

Large white feathered wings spread out behind her as she kneels low to the ground, extending her right hand forward in an inviting gesture towards the viewer with a gentle, knowing smile. Her feet are birdlike talons. In contrast to these fantastical features, she wears contemporary casual clothing: a white long-sleeved top with a keyhole neckline and distressed blue jeans.
