Finally, I wondered if there's any relationship between how much people changed and how much it inhibited their tumor growth, whichever group they were in. And this really got me excited because again, we found the same the more people change, the more it affected the growth of their tumors. Finally, we did MRI and MR spectroscopy scans on some of these patients.

for these unique, important corridors like the western Amazon and the Andes Amazon corridor, we have to start making geographically explicit plans now. How do we do that if we don't know the geography of biodiversity in the region, if it's so unknown to science? So what we've been doing is using the laser-guided spectroscopy from the CAO
