#Inktober2020 day 1 in my #PathogenPortraits series. After years of studying this in cow bums, it had to be #EcoliO157
It causes bloody diarrhoea & if that wasn't bad enough, sometimes kidney failure & death. More info @

Tetanus is caused by a germ called Clostridium tetani.
This germ produces a dangerous #toxin that makes your muscles painfully contract on their own & become rigid.
This man had neck stiffness & lockjaw from tetanus;

Tetanus germ lives mainly inside the soil & animal feces. It lives there for years.
When it has a chance, it enter your body through:
- Wounds contaminated with soil or feces, or
- Punctures by nonsterile needles (like some injecting illegal drugs, tattooing or body piercing)

Planning highly renewable power systems involves compromise across diverse stakeholders. Is it possible to balance techno-economic feasibility with social and political goals?

Contested decisions include where to locate generation and transmission capacity. Yet, it is common to use a single-result cost-minimising energy system model to inform planning. This neglects alternatives that e.g. avoid problematic concentrations of capacity[..]
We develop a method that generates a variety of spatially-explicit, alternative system configurations which can be used to balance techno-economic feasibility with social and political goals - building on ideas from @etrutnevyte @jfdecarolis @fneum_ @nworbmot
