[NEWS] Five science and technology links: Darjeeling tea, Fitbits, cannabis, PrEP, Planet Nine

[rfmcdonald]

• Climate change is making the famous tea of Darjeeling much more difficult to come by. VICE reports.


• Wired notes Fitbits are useful tracking devices for scientists engaged in studies, too. (I always wear mine.)


• I entirely approve of this new Niagara College program. Why not legalize and professionalize cannabis agriculture?


• This VICE interview with bringing the Truvada needed for inexpensive PrEP across the border into Canada is of note.


• A new study suggests that Planet Nine, if it exists, was likely not captured by the young sun but formed here. Universe Today reports.

Item 1: huh. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing Darjeeling on the grocery store shelves any more. That's a shame - it's one of my favorite strains.
