by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee August 10, 2025 Introduction: Observing a Vanishing Pool I’ve been researching evaporation for decades, but sometimes the most telling experiments happen in my own backyard. At the start of this pool season, rainfall far exceeded evaporation. Then, for the past two months, the balance flipped: with little rain and […]

Breathing in Danger: The Health Crisis of Air Pollution and How to Protect Yourself
by Daniel Brouse August 6, 2025 Over the past several years, extreme air pollution events have become alarmingly common across the United States and beyond. If you’ve been noticing hazy skies, itchy eyes, or difficulty breathing, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining things. With increasingly frequent wildfires, industrial emissions, and fossil fuel combustion, the air […]

The Deadly Nexus: Climate Change, Pathogens, and Political Denial
By Daniel BrouseAugust 6, 2025 A recent study published in JAMA Health Forum, titled “Global Estimates of Lives and Life-Years Saved by COVID-19 Vaccination During 2020-2024”, provides powerful evidence of the lifesaving impact of COVID-19 vaccines. The study estimates that vaccinations prevented 2.5 million deaths globally over the 2020–2024 period. The sensitivity analysis suggests a […]

Tariffs, Sanctions, and Sensibility: Rethinking U.S. Trade Policy in the Age of Climate Crisis
by Daniel Brouse August 5, 2025 I’ve been reflecting on the ongoing trade war and its broader implications—not just economically, but in terms of logic, consistency, and environmental sensibility. A recent twist involving Russian sanctions highlights how disconnected U.S. policy can be from its stated goals. Just this week, Trump threatened to raise tariffs even […]

by Daniel Brouse August 3, 2025 Gasoline prices continue to climb across the U.S., and many are quick to blame geopolitical tensions or oil company profits. But two less visible factors are placing sustained upward pressure on prices—while simultaneously exposing the broader economic and environmental costs of our current energy system. 1. Refinery Constraints: A […]

Climate Change as an Interdisciplinary Crisis: Physics, Mathematics, Economics, and Earth Sciences
BuyLow.com and SellHigh.com are companion platforms dedicated to exploring climate change as an interdisciplinary crisis—spanning physics, mathematics, economics, and earth sciences—while aiming to explain the most complex science in the simplest, most practical terms. By the early 2000s, my lab partner (a physicist from Ohio State) and I developed a theory of nonlinear acceleration in […]

Persistent COVID-19, the Aging Brain, and Gut Microbiome
By Daniel BrouseJuly 29, 2025 While researchers continue to unravel the long-term effects of COVID-19, a growing body of evidence suggests the virus — and even the global pandemic experience itself — may be accelerating brain aging. One particularly striking study, published in Nature Communications and titled “Accelerated Brain Ageing During the COVID-19 Pandemic”, reveals […]
Gut Reactions: How Microbial Triggers, COVID-19, and Climate Feedback Loops Drive Chronic Illness
by Daniel BrouseJuly 29, 2025 Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a devastating autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly targets the protective myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers, impairing communication between the brain and body. With a history of MS in my family, I’ve long explored whether its roots are hereditary, environmental, or microbial. Recent […]

Invisible Crisis: How Air Pollution Is Quietly Shortening American Lives
by Daniel BrouseJuly 29 , 2025 Today’s air quality map tells a story most people still fail to fully grasp: air pollution is not just a big-city problem. While it’s true that Philadelphia’s air quality is once again rated “unhealthy” today, the issue is far more widespread. Regions across Pennsylvania and surrounding states are also […]

Turkey Breaks All-Time Heat Record with Scorching 50.5°C (122.9°F)
by Daniel Brouse July 27, 2025 Turkey’s Environment Ministry confirmed that the country has recorded its highest temperature ever as meteorologists measured a blistering 50.5°C (122.9°F) in the southeastern district of Silopi on Friday. This extreme reading not only sets a new national heat record, but also underscores the region’s growing vulnerability to climate-driven extreme […]
