Yesterday, the New York Times ran a profile of Sylvia Earle and the marine environment, which included some wonderful photographs and a nice introductory anecdote about how, in 1953, when Earle began studying algae, the marine plants and related microbes were often considered weeds or worse. Today, Earle says that one type -- Prochlorococcus -- releases countless tons of oxygen into the atmosphere and provides the oxygen for "one in every five breaths we take."

This NYT thing is Sylvia Earle hagiography. She is cool, but "algae" are a much richer topic than Prochlorococcus. At least some discussion of eutrophication, dead zones, and interactions of algal growth with other organisms

The authors found that the frequencies of allergic and IgE-associated allergic disease and sensitization were similar in the children who had received probiotic and those whoâd gotten placebo. Although there appeared to be a preventive effect at age 2, there was none noted at age 5. Interestingly, in babies born by cesarean section, the researchers found less IgE-associated allergic disease in those who had received the probiotic.
