It’s also worth noting that even if alternatives superior to agar were found, scientists are reluctant to abandon established protocols (even when microbiologists do use other jellies, they often still add agar to the mix, for example, to increase the gel strength of the solid media). As agar has been the standard gelling agent in microbiology for around 150 years, an enormous infrastructure of standardized methods, reference values, and quality control procedures has emerged around its specific properties. Switching to a different medium (even a superior one) means results may not be directly comparable to decades of published literature or to other laboratories’ findings.
The heavy and continuous days of rainfall follow a similar pattern to the last few years of wetter winters. Six of the ten wettest since records began nearly 250 years ago have been this century, according to the Met Office.

Greek omicron (ο, U+03BF) is as dangerous as Cyrillic o: pixel-identical in 40+ fonts. But Greek rho (ρ, U+03C1, which maps to p) is pixel-identical only in Phosphate and Copperplate, two geometric/all-caps fonts where the structural distinction between rho and Latin p collapses. This is font-specific risk, not script-wide risk.
