it feels like communication about tech is more abundant than communication about other disciplines. is it because programmers are more likely to blog, and academics are more likely to report via peer-review journal? is it because open access is in its infancy while open source is an institution? it strikes me that it’s maybe 100x easier to read about a working programmer’s experience solving a problem than a graduate student’s experience with a challenge in something like biochemistry. why?

Il grembiule di Alda Merini
Oddio il mio grembiule
guarda come mi torno indietro
era una bobina di anima
ogni giorno un filo d’amore
ogni giorno quelle ore che mi massacravano
io ogni giorno non ridevo mai
e la sera tornavo così stanca
e vedevo mio marito che mi guardava
e io mi giravo dall’altra parte
ma il mio grembiule era pieno di rose
erano tutti i baci che avrei dato a lui
invece di quello sporco lavoro
non hanno voluto pagarmi
né il grembiule e neanche la vita
perché

@rastinza I'm trying Subway Tooter for Android and it has a similar feature. you can have tabs with threads open. It's maybe the most customizable apple for Android, but it has a bit of a learning curve.

Bengaluru-based #biotechnology startup Loopworm is processing a stunning 50 tonnes of food waste every day to create a high-quality feed for Black Soldier Fly (BSF) worms. The protein extracted from the insects is used as a raw material in animal feeds and pet foods.

This #Bengaluru-based biotechnology startup has developed a flagship vertical and indoor-based smart insect breeding, production, and processing technology to produce sustainable Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae-based proteins and fats.

The food waste sourced from processing industries or manufacturers is first converted into high-quality feedstock (via thermal, chemical and biological pre-treatment), and fed to these insects.

The accumulated healthy protein and fat are then extracted from these insects and used in different products.

To date, #Loopworm has conceptualised B2B products, including protein concentrate used as a raw material in animal feeds and pet foods, protein powder that serves as a natural diet for animals, fish, turtles, and crustaceans, and for use in poultry, farmed fish, and farmed pig diets for superior growth and meat quality), insect oil (used in animal feed and as a raw material in cosmetic products), and insect frass (plant immunity-enhancing soil additive).

Loopworm has secured grants worth Rs 1 crore in total from the Union and #Karnataka governments to support its pilot project. It has also received support from Social Alpha (a venture development platform for science and technology startups).

The startup is in talks with seven pet food and five animal feed manufacturers to supply their products and is undergoing commercial trials.

Riassunto della mia esperienza su #Mastodon di questi 3 giorni:
- la moderazione è pressoché eccellente, non ho incontrato utenti tossici;
- incontrare utenti under 18 é più raro di avere il verificato ai propri link della biografia;
- ci sono 293738 poeti improvvisati del 3° millennio.

Bella per chiunque abbia letto, se non l'avete ancora fatto seguitemi per un biscotto, grazie :D
