Medicines and cosmetics use substances derived from nature. But Bioprospecting can turn into biopiracy. More and more companies are patenting natural ingredients making billions. It can come at a cost to the environment and traditional communities living in biodiversity-rich regions.

Robinson was last seen leaving his job site in Buckeye, Arizona on June 23, 2021, where he was working as a geologist. A federal law enforcement official relayed to Daniel's father that he had seen him later that morning, cleaning his Jeep. He stated that Daniel seemed clear headed and they spoke briefly about target practice. The official confirmed that there was no damage to the Jeep at this time. He had moved into the Phoenix area after graduating as a field geologist in 2019.[1] On July 19, 2021, a rancher found the Jeep rolled over on its side in a ravine on his property with the airbags deployed and evidence in the vehicle indicating that the driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.[4] Several personal items of Robinson’s were found with the vehicle such as his cell phone, wallet, keys and clothes.
the investigation
In late July, a human skull was found in the area south of where Robinson’s vehicle was recovered. Testing later indicated that the skull was not that of Robinson, and no additional human remains were recovered at that time.In a statement made on September 16, the Buckeye Police Department stated that they had worked with outside agencies to search over 70 square miles with the assistance of UTVs, cadaver dogs, drones and helicopters. After the discovery of the Jeep, Robinson’s family hired an accident reconstructionist and private investigator who claimed that the accident scene had been staged, stating that after the airbags deployed the ignition was turned over 46 more times and that there was an additional 11 miles on the car that registered after the car crashed.Investigators in October 2021 announced that Robinson had been texting a woman he met while delivering for Instacart, and reportedly was invited inside and exchanged numbers with her. Later text messages showed that he visited her home several times unannounced and the woman indicated that she was extremely uncomfortable with his actions. Police initially interviewed friends, family and coworkers about Robinson being suicidal over the relationship but all told investigators that he was not.On November 9 it was announced that more human remains had been discovered while searching for Robinson, and had been sent out for DNA testing and identification. This is the second set of human remains that have been found in the search for Robinson. The preliminary investigation based on anthropology's indication of race and the amount of time outside have led officials to believe neither set of remains to be Robinson.

Knives Out and Glass Onion obviously are great for a multitude of reasons, but I enjoy how at the center, the REAL victims and those who got justice for the people wronged in the end were WOC and I want to see more of that if/when more sequels come out.
Derol figuring things out whilst all the murder/mystery is happening is a big mood
I took this on my phone so excuse the crap quality but Derol was such a nice character who didn't even care about the entire situation or his friend(?) Miles lmfao
Like he just was sitting in the dark when the lights turned off and just chilled after hearing a gunshot??? Then he decided well, time to head outside to sit down and pop myself a beer
He just saw Blanc walking out and went "hey bro sit with me", my man said he was minding his business and there for a good time and that's all Derol needed
Hydrogeologist Daniel Robinson was bright, outgoing, and well-liked. So why did he decide to drive into the Arizona desert on June 23, 2021? And was there foul play involved?

Okay, but have we considered the new Goncharov effect, which is that now posts about real movies sound fake?
...A film called Glass Onion, you say? (hmmm, like the parody site “The Onion”?) In which international heartthrob and Bond actor Daniel Craig plays a confirmed gay character? In the middle of a murder mystery? On a beautiful exotic Greek island? With the legendary and gorgeous non-binary bicon Janelle Monáe as a part of the cast as well? In a double role? All of my queer heart’s dreams coming true in one subtextually homoerotic action movie? Nice try, Tumblr. I’m not falling for that one twice.
