The Noma fermentation lab in Copenhagen has been experimenting with garum for the past few years. There is a detailed chapter in Noma Ferments if you are interested in learning about the process.

I think we saw guild navigators with the emperor’s envoy on Caladan. White-suited creatures with a red swirling gas behind their visors.

I agree. The claim the formula feeding is neglect is not supported by the science. So please don’t spread that pseudoscience opinion.

This is exactly the attitude the above poster is complaining against. Breast feeding is probably better than formula in a few small ways, but treating formula use as “neglect” creates a harmful burden on new - and already stressed - mothers.

If breast feeding is difficult, feed your child formula. They will turn out just fine.

From the summary of your second link... “ There is some evidence to support the wearing of masks or respirators during illness to protect others, and public health emphasis on mask wearing during illness may help to reduce influenza virus transmission.”

> IV is either a research institution or a patent troll or both, depending on your perspective, but either way, they don't generally commercialize the ideas they come up with, they just license them.

That’s not exactly accurate. IV creates spin-out companies that commercialize particular inventions created by IV inventors. Photonic Sentry is the commercialization vehicle for this mosquito zapper that was invented by IV inventors. Other examples are Kymeta, Terrapower and Echodyne.

IV does not typically commercialize inventions (patents) that it purchases — but the patent purchasing piece of the business is distinct from the invent and commercialize piece.
