Its now been a really really long time since I have written.

projects...etc...  But every once in a while an article comes
along to remind me why I started this blog in the first place:
to explain what the heck some of these reporters and business
types mean when they throw scientific words around with algae.
Today I read an article that was so misleading (in my opinion)
that I was compelled to write. This article in ScienceDa
