Is there a way to clean up the air without warming the planet? Exploring the unintended consequences of reducing air pollution, she makes the case for a better understanding of marine cloud brightening — or intentionally adding sea salt aerosols to clouds over the ocean, which could reflect sunlight back into space and potentially reduce global warming.

They’re also making a brand new CRISPR system open source, so any scientist can now start leveraging an AI-designed gene editor to advance their research.  The background: In nature, bacteria evolved CRISPR as a defense against viruses, but in the lab, we can program CRISPR systems to make precise edits to any gene, ...

    Atmospheres — do Earth-like alien planets have them or not? This is the killer question currently facing astronomers. In this context, “Earth-like” means terrestrial (i.e. rocky worlds) planets close enough to Earth’s mass and other conditions that we might imagine them hosting the holy grail of astrobiology: an alien biosphere. But you can’t have a biosphere unless you first have an atmosphere for all that life to breathe. And while finding signatures of biospheres (i.e. biosignatures) is going to be ... Continue Reading »

    It only took three pieces of evidence, together, to completely revolutionize our picture of the Universe in the early 20th century. We had previously assumed that the Universe was static and unchanging, and that the entirety of existence was contained within the Milky Way. The spiral and elliptical nebulae in the sky were assumed to be objects — perhaps newly forming protostars — within our own galaxy.

    To a large extent, the search for Earthlike planets is a search for water. Every living thing we know of requires water in some form, so until we find one that doesn’t, it’s reasonable to make water the focus of our exploration. That’s why a recent paper by Amri Wandel from Hebrew University in Israel suggesting that liquid water may exist underneath glaciers on planets around M dwarf stars is so interesting. Given that M dwarfs are so much more common ... Continue Reading »

  • 4 pervasive myths that cause us to abandon science
    Posted on Thursday May 16, 2024
    When you think about what science actually is, how do you conceive of it? Do you do what most people do, and default to what you learned in our classes in school, with a layer of cynicism and skepticism layered atop it? That’s understandable, as many of us remember being taught “facts” in our science classes that later were shown to be not as they seemed at the time.

According to the Chapman Survey of American Fears, corrupt government, economic collapse, nuclear weapons, climate change, and high medical bills keep people up at night far more than the idea of giving a speech. That said, 29% of Americans do list public speaking as a fear. That’s more than snakes (26%), murder by a stranger (26%), devastating ... Continue Reading »
