The crisis no one is talking about: we are running out of science's vital non-renewable resource, TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)! Scientific papers have has now used 94% of the 17,576 possible TLAs.
We need to start recycling: of 1.1M total acronyms, 79% are used less than 10x.

My partner, Luisa, was a guest on the 80k podcast, where she discusses her fascinating research on how we might recover from societal collapse.
She did ask me to "not share this with literally everyone" but unfortunately for her I'm too proud not to.

Great that attention is remaining focused on #AMR a big problem. cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspect… . But the relentless claims that this is primarily or largely a problem of agriculture are not evidence-based.
