Aged Urine is Safer Fertilizer

>In this new study, researchers have shown that the practice of "aging" collected urine in sealed containers over several months effectively deactivates 99% of antibiotic resistant genes that were present in bacteria in the urine.

>"Based on our results, we think that microorganisms in the urine break down the extracellular DNA in the urine very quickly," said Krista Wigginton, U-M associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, and corresponding author on a study published today in Environmental Science and Technology.

>"That means that if bacteria in the collected urine are resistant to antibiotics and the bacteria die, as they do when they are stored in urine, the released DNA won't pose a risk of transferring resistance to bacteria in the environment when the fertilizer is applied."

Optical comms channels in the brain

Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the

origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answers might rely on new physical mechanisms. Given that biophotons

have been discovered in the brain, it is interesting to explore if neurons use photonic communication in addition to the well-studied

electro-chemical signals. Such photonic communication in the brain would require waveguides. Here we review recent work [S.

Kumar, K. Boone, J. Tuszynski, P. Barclay, and C. Simon, Scientific Reports 6, 36508 (2016)] suggesting that myelinated axons

could serve as photonic waveguides. The light transmission in the myelinated axon was modeled, taking into account its realistic

imperfections, and experiments were proposed both in vivo and in vitro to test this hypothesis. Potential implications for quantum

biology are discussed.

Biophoton comms between animals

informed speculation.

Mothersill and many others during the last hundred years have shown that cells and now whole animals may communicate with each other by electromagnetic waves called biophotons. This would explain the source of the bystander phenomena. These ultra-weak photons are coherent, appear to originate and concentrate in DNA of the cell nucleus and rapidly carry large amounts of data to each cell and to the trillions of other cells in the human body. The implications of such a possibility can be wonderfully important.
