Australia Destroys Valuable Plants From France

Australia does have some weird schemes. I do not know if they still do it, probably not. In the 1960s when many European immigrants arrived here, customs officers would walk up the isle of aircraft before people disembarked. They would spray ordinary aerosols to kill any bugs from countries of origin. Obviously, this was stupid. Insects could be in the clothes of passengers and in baggage, either carry-on or in the hold.   ||| plants destroys france customs or valuable if australia me customs france plants found as valuable found eh en destroys up valuable to seeds customs|
Customs confiscate plant material
Another silly thing that goes on today is destruction of plant material and seeds from other countries. With the amount of stuff being ordered on eBay and the like, probably one in hundred seed packets are destroyed. This is a waste of resources. It isn't achieving anything.   ||| ox

Nations do share plant specimens for research. The Museum of Natural History in France sent samples of rare flowering plants to Brisbane's herbarium. They were pressed and could not germinate. Yet the 200 year old examples were incinerated. Such plants cannot be replaced.     france destros at not an new un | |   

This wasn't the first time it had occurred. A few weeks earlier lichen from Allan Herbarium in New Zealand was zapped. Though overseas institutes have not officially announced it, there is no doubt planned exchanges have been stopped, maybe forever. This can only hurt Australia going forward.      once upon a time from chiefs cord hair writing | .

Albert Einstein's Genius Was Due to His Unusual Brain

Albert Einstein wasn't only a genius her was a very odd human being. His brain shows peculiar differences from the norm; it had many more folds than the average person. This gave the brain a greater surface area. It is like using a larger computer to do calculations. Upon his father's death in 1955, Thomas Einstein gave the pathologist permission to preserve the brain of Albert Einstein. It was photographed then dissected into 2,000 ultra-thin slices. The slices and slides of them were later distributed to researchers. The brain had more neurons and glia cells, well outside of the normal range; pariental lobes were unusual in the pattern of ridges and grooves. Einstein only had a brain of average size. The area controlling the tongue and face was larger, as was the region that involves attention and planning. Overall, Einstein's brain was complex. Many people think in words. He said his thinking was like a physical activity. If selection based on "healthy...

New Species Found in Australia

An endangered animal, Antechinus, has two new members. Well, they have been there all along. A team from Queensland University of Technology discovered the Tasman Peninsula Dusky Antechinus (Antechinus vandycki) in south east Tasmania, and nominated the Mainland Dusky Antechinus   (Antechinus mimetes) . The latter was known to be in New South Wales and Victoria but it is now a species in its own right. The Tasman Antechinus is about 13 cm long with a short tail weighing roughly 90g. It is located in Port Arther, Tasmania. Under threat from clearing of trees it resides in state forest in fragmented groups.  Survival is precarious in the isolated stands. While uncovering new species is rare in developed countries, new ones are being found in Australia all the time. This is due to the low population density of people in inland Australia. Unfortunately, new species when found are usually in small numbers and under threat. Antechinus are not helping themselves...
