Another case where wetlands should have remained rather than trying to ‘reclaim’ them for homesteading.
RuBisCO
4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.

6·20 days agoPippin’s barrels and brooch at Isengard. One of the best chapters.
Was the Tachi ejected to save MCRN? Or did it float out of a wreck?
Lies, Inc. is another by PKD that will leave your head spinning.
Perhaps. I was thinking in the last 1-2 years. Maybe it was that long ago.
Who was the other famous old country singer who died recently? I want to say he even resembled Kristofferson a bit.
There are some Frank Herbert books you’re gonna love.
And Seveneves.
Who is Zambada?
Born in 1948 in the western state of Sinaloa, Zambada has been widely known by his nickname “El Mayo,” short for Ismael.
You know you’ve watched Dune too many times when you start to see parallels between the way prepared by Jessica and Stilgar, and the current jockeying by Pelosi and Schumer. Are we chanting Lisan al-Gaib at the postponed DNC? Schiff of Tabr? To November! The choice was the Dem nominee or the end of democracy, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not flattered.
The building of the best narrative, the gathering of a large tent, the necessity of correct timing. Then the almighty talk. If not Dune then Kingdom of Heaven or Royal Gemstones. God wills it, Jesse! Things gotta look right for the people.
That has a nice ring to it. You’re on to something here.
Practice.
Taking notes during lecture helped. Not only does it help cement the information in your mind, it is practice writing legibly enough it can be studied later. You could practice this now, before school starts, by watching something like Khan Academy.
If your major sends you to the whiteboard often, that will help a lot, too. You will naturally improve as you do it out of necessity. Practice on the board until you can write a straight line of consistent text that doesn’t droop or curve down as it goes along.
I second the suggestion for calligraphy in a script you like.
Perhaps practice by trying to quickly write down song lyrics as you listen? I think that’s when I first started to improve.
Pay attention to your classmates who can take good notes quickly. I made a friend who found my writing to be glacially slow, so I watched how they wrote to learn some tricks.
Sorry if some of these won’t help until you’re in, but don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure your handwriting will be markedly improved by the end of even the first year.
p.s.
Write letters or postcards to friends.
Try to fit your favorite quotes on a notecard.
Love it. One example that springs to mind is calling out the NCAA.
“‘Student Ath-uh-letes’? Haha, that is brilliant, sir.”
6·4 months agoThis really needs to be rescheduled for the winter, and/or pilgrims encouraged to travel by night. But then the AC tents might not sell as well.
The on-the-fly meme-making by the Trekkies is positively inspiring.
