Cat Bordhi-PERSONAL FOOTPRINTS-Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off
Okay, wow. Pretty and easy and fancy.
Much of the Netherlands is below sea level and major floods have occurred every generation or so for hundreds of years. In a warming world with increased rainfall and sea level rise, the threat from floods is increasing worldwide, and the Dutch are leading the way in water management engineering.
Only 50 percent of the Netherlands is more than a few feet above sea level, so over the centuries the Dutch have become expert at water management. But even they were caught short by crippling floods in the 1990s and they quickly implemented vast flood prevention projects. As the country adapts to the reality of a warming planet, they are passing on their knowledge and expertise to other vulnerable nations.
Not under the skin, but on it: Living together brings couples’ microbiomes together
Couples who live together share many things: Bedrooms, bathrooms, food, and even bacteria. After analyzing skin microbiomes from cohabitating couples, microbial ecologists at the University of Waterloo, in Canada, found that people who live together significantly influence the microbial communities on each other’s skin.
The commonalities were strong enough that computer algorithms could identify cohabitating couples with 86 percent accuracy based on skin microbiomes alone, the researchers report this week in mSystems, an open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
However, the researchers also reported that cohabitation is likely less influential on a person’s microbial profile than other factors like biological sex and what part of the body is being studied. In addition, the microbial profile from a person’s body usually looks more like their own microbiome than like that of their significant other.
“You look like yourself more than you look like your partner,” says Ashley Ross, who led the study while a graduate student in the lab of Josh Neufeld.
