My name is Mario. I'm from Wisconsin and proud of it. I love my Malory Knox, Faith. I love getting high and watching futbol, movies, listening to music (This does not include pop-punk-screamo-postcore-emocore bullshit. That is not music.) and playing games. I love cheese, burgers, pizza, nacho dip, skateboarding, making out, crime films, writing and reading, just look at my blog. But mostly, I love my friends. I also have a moderate obsession for sloths. I'm working so that I can go to school, buy a car and have a place and learn how to talk to people because I do not want to be an awkward little fuck my whole life. Also cant tell if I'm a hipster or not. oh well.

So, whats up? :)

Three Plant Proteins Could Aid BioeconomyKnowing the function of three plant proteins could help scientists raise seed oil yield in crops, a potential windfall for the bioeconomy. The analysis of gene activity by researchers at Iowa State Univ. and determination of protein structures by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences independently identified three related proteins that appear to be involved in fatty-acid metabolism. The researchers used thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) as the model plant.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news-Three-Plant-Proteins-Could-Aid-Bioeconomy-051512.aspx

Visualising extinctions over the past million 531 years.  The size of the circle shows how the biodiversity of the earth differs from the long-term trend.  The resulting fluctuations seem to repeat every 62 million years or so, with 5 main extinction events in total.  The most recent was of course the end of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.  Does this mean the Earth is due another?!
