Hey all,
Perhaps some filler social of this article which is (at least tenuous) in the news right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault
"The Syrian Civil War prompted the first withdrawal in 2015 to restock the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas." http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/09/21/us-mideast-crisis-seeds-idUKKCN0RL1...
Plus it's a supercool article on a supercool project. :)
