From the description:

Some researchers believe that the infamous "poxleber" on the last folio of the Voynich manuscript is a "swear word", a profane term left by the author, or perhaps a frustrated later reader. In this video, we explore the linguistic context of medieval swearing and some relevant primary sources. As so often, I owe special thanks to Marco Ponzi, for his help transcribing Ebendorfer's Latin

Kind of ridiculous that companies can buy up buildings, harass the residents, evict them for renovations, break the law by not allowing them to return by moving someone in at higher rent to bypass rent control, and face zero repercussions.

The American Chestnut was nearly wiped out in the US due to chestnut blight introduced by imported Japanese chestnut trees. Researchers have pursued two main avenues for repopulating the American Chestnut: direct genetic modification / engineering (above link) and cross breeding with Chinese Chestnuts (blight resistant) then re-breeding the result back with American chestnuts. This is to hopefully keep it as close to American chestnuts while also gaining blight resistance.

I've never had chestnuts, even though it used to be one of Eastern Americas most populous trees. I was hoping I could get some and plant them around here and there but we aren't to the point that they're commercially available yet (though available by request)
