Kris Hansen had worked as a chemist at the 3M Corporation for about a year when her boss, an affable senior scientist named Jim Johnson, gave her a strange assignment. 3M had invented Scotch Tape and Post-it notes; it sold everything from sandpaper to kitchen sponges. But on this day, in 1997, Johnson wanted Hansen to test human blood for chemical contamination.
Several of 3M’s most successful products contained man-made compounds called fluorochemicals. In a spray called Scotchgard, fluorochemicals protected leather and fabric from stains. ........

In 1951, the UK population was 50 million with an employment rate of 70.4%. There were 35.2 million workers who were supporting 4.5 million pensioners, or 7.8 workers for every pensioner.

There will be fewer and worse humans in the future.Japan Launches Dating App to Boost Birth Rate
"We learned that 70 percent of people who want to get married aren't actively joining events or apps to look for a partner," 727,277 babies were born in Japan in 2023, down 5.6 percent from the previous year and the lowest since the country started recording the statistics in 1899. Last year, Japan recorded more than twice as many deaths as births, and the country's fertility rate—the average number of babies a woman has in her lifetime—was 1.2. If current trends continue, Japan's population—more than 125 million people at the moment—could fall to 87 million by 2060, with 40 percent of the population being over the age of 65, which would have a significant effect on the country's economy and social services. -
