Here's the latest Science news of last week.
Hi, in case this is your first time here, I started at the beginning of the year this weekly science news summary which I intend to keep accurate and informative. You can check the past issues on my profile.

Really hoping science can survive these next 4 years.
Noodlesocks
It will. Just not in certain areas of the world.

So aging is caused by goblins. I'm not surprised.

So the worms eat the plastic, but then what happens when something ELSE eats the worms?

Styrofoam is just a hydrocarbon, it looks like they digest it to just under half co2
Sheldonian
That's an interesting question, the article mentions that the worm can live at least partially from eating the plastic so it breaks it down in useful nutrients but it is possible it creates some other chemicals in the process and yeah it's possible one of those could be toxic for a predator or maybe the polyestirene still in the guts could also create issues, but most of these research focus on extracting the bacteria and enzymes to then use those to degrade the plastic not letting the 1/

insect eat it, but even if, let's say we make a plastic decomposing worm farm, you probably will have to have full control on those worms and won't be used for food for other animals, at least not until a bunch of studies are made about their safety... that's my assumption 2/2
