That diversity and its impact came into plain view when the researchers started experimenting with the rodents' diet. When one group of mice was fed a typical Western diet, high in fat and sugars, they tended to gain weight and grow more Firmicutes gut bacteria and fewer Bacteroidetes. In mice given a low-fat plant-based chow, the distribution of the two groups of bugs flipped and the animals remained lean. It's not clear whether the balance of gut bugs causes weight gain or is a result of it, but the findings suggest that a "gut profile" could potentially...
...river running pods, the trustees do have a loosely established method of judging applications. According to trustee Matthew Y.

...thickets of semiotic schemata, the professor paused to question the class: Did we know that the French founder of structural anthropology was—remarkably—still alive? A rapid bout of mental math assuring us that this was in fact possible, the statement made quite an impact. In a sea of Saussures and Sartres, the mausoleum of dead white men that European intellectual history inevitably erects, the bespectacled ethnographer’s continued existence traced out an impressively unbroken line from the heyday of 1950s social research to what had until then looked to us like a totally...
...budget hawks have blasted the wall as ineffective and enormously costly. With a final price tag of more than $4 billion and $6.5 billion in estimated maintenance expenses over the next 20 years, the direct, measured costs alone are immense. However, to discuss the project’s environmental impact, one must recognize the systematic neglect of environmental laws that occurred during its construction...
