Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars - Nature A geological, petrographic and geochemical survey of distinctive mudstone and conglomerate outcrops of the Bright Angel formation on Mars reveals textures, chemical and mineral characteristics, and organic signatures that warrant consideration as potential biosignatures.

Martian mudstones from the Jezero crater contain features that improve our understanding of chemical processes on Mars, according to new findings from NASA’s Perseverance rover, published in @nature.com: spklr.io/63326ByHTp

Walking in two worlds: how an Indigenous computer scientist is using AI to preserve threatened languages Michael Running Wolf leads artificial-intelligence initiatives to revive lost languages and empower Indigenous people.

AI researcher Michael Running Wolf’s work stretches from the Kwakiutl Nation in North America to the home of the Māori. As big AI developers seek out Indigenous-language training data to add complexity to their systems’ corpuses, Running Wolf is creating resources by and for Indigenous communities.

The Dire Wolf Isn’t Back—But Here’s What ‘De-Extinction’ Tech Can Actually Do Colossal Bioscience says it has “de-extincted” the dire wolf, but other scientists disagree and say more important conservation science is being lost in all the hype

The television series Game of Thrones helped popularize dire wolves, but the creatures don’t just represent a figment of science fiction: the dire wolf was a real animal that went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Did scientists actually de-extinct the dire wolf now?

The authors of this state: "Many, and perhaps most, members of our academic community do not understand what it means to publish in society-based journals"

which makes me wonder: is the decline related to a decline in active participation in societies in general?

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Public libraries are amazing!
Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library?
Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?
