Hello Dr Rothman and Dr Arnscheidt. Thank you so much for taking these questions! I am interested in following your research and that of your colleagues. Do you have any additional resources (books or papers or publications?) that we can read? I think about climate change every single day and am so glad for your work.

phytoremediation, mycoremediation, and insect remediation are most effective in shallow heavy metal and plastics soil contamination. Anything deeper than about 3-5 feet and they lose effectiveness quite quickly. I have seen some promising insect remediation techniques for dealing with plastic wastes, but I don't think they have figured out how to implement it on a large scale yet.

Aloha! So far I'm only staying in Texas for 1 month, and then I go back to Barcelona Spain (where I'm based). On another occasion we'll plan a larger roadtrip through the US. Probably next year 🤞

OOOOH I didn't know about that place in Kyoto! Honestly I don't know yet. One idea is to replace the ukulele with another "Trippy" and treat it like a title that gets passed on from ukulele to ukulele. The other, if Trippy gets broken, is to use part of the ukulele to incorporate it into another, assuming it can't be fixed. For now, I have a backup replica sitting in storage, and we'll cross that bridge hopefully never 🤞.

Hello /u/TravelingUkulele,

AMAs need to be about something you have done, not something that you plan to do at some point or are in the process of doing. We'd love to welcome you back for an AMA to talk about the experience once you've achieved your goal.

There's currently less than 500 people who've been to every country, and YES they were a huge motivation! But the main motivation was wanting to do something my life that could bring a lot of joy to people, while combining my love for travel and music. And not to be too morbid, but I also wanted to do something that could leave a fun legacy behind. I literally asked myself "if I died during this project (or afterwards), would I be happy with how I will be remembered?" The answer was yes, so I'm going for it.

Ever cleaned chemo drugs? I know this is going to get heated as fuck but theres these drugs that mess with your hormones and I heard that they can cause extreme bone thinning (lupron for prostate cancer or endimetriosis), so If a kid with cancer takes it he might develop scoliosis or osteoperosis. My question is how dangerous are drugs like those to be exposed to on a 1/100 scale?
