The Benefit of a Single Oral Dose of Ivermectin in Humans: The Adverse Effects on Cimex lectularius L. Populations and Fecundity - PMC – low doses of Ivermectin can fight bedbugs by essentially making them infertile after they’ve fed on you.
Software Foundations
Looks like a nice series of texts on computer science, formal verfication, etc.
[Reducing food’s environmental impacts through producers and
consumers](https://josephpoore.com/Science%20360%206392%20987%20-%20Accepted%20Manuscript.pdf) Oxford paper on the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Published in Science.
Software Foundations
The Software Foundations series is a broad introduction to the mathematical underpinnings of reliable software.
The principal novelty of the series is that every detail is one hundred percent formalized and machine-checked: the entire text of each volume, including the exercises, is literally a “proof script” for the Coq proof assistant.
The exposition is intended for a broad range of readers, from advanced undergraduates to PhD students and researchers. No specific background in logic or programming languages is assumed, though a degree of mathematical maturity is helpful. A one-semester course can expect to cover Logical Foundations plus most of Programming Language Foundations or Verified Functional Algorithms, or selections from both.
