Michael Flores+FollowChickpeas Just Got a Major UpgradeChickpeas are about to get even better! Aussie scientists mapped out the full chickpea gene pool, which means we could soon see super-chickpeas that handle drought, bad soil, and diseases like champs. This could keep hummus (and all our fave chickpea snacks) flowing even as the planet heats up. Imagine chickpeas that thrive in tough weather—science is seriously saving snack time! #Science #FoodInnovation #ClimateResilience10Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowOregon’s Secret Water Stash Discovered!Did you know there’s a giant underground sponge beneath Oregon’s volcanoes, holding enough water to fill all of California’s reservoirs—twice? Scientists just found this hidden stash, which could keep rivers flowing and taps running even during dry spells. For anyone living in the West, this means your summer hikes and backyard gardens might stay greener, even as droughts get worse. Plus, it could help keep wildfires in check by keeping forests hydrated longer. Nature’s backup plan, right under our feet! #WaterHacks #ClimateResilience #Oregon #Business00Share
Jenna Gonzales+FollowTokyo’s ‘Underground Shrine’ Outsmarts FloodsEver heard of Tokyo’s ‘Underground Shrine’? This engineering marvel, officially the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, is the city’s MVP when it comes to battling floods. With the power to hold water equal to 268 Olympic pools, it’s like the ultimate defensive play—diverting dangerous floodwaters away from millions of residents. It’s not just a fortress, but a must-see for fans of epic infrastructure. Has anyone here toured it or seen those viral pics? #TokyoFloodDefense #EngineeringMarvel #ClimateResilience #UrbanPlanning #Sports00Share
