"I don't know", Star Trek franchise head Alex Kurtzman said when asked why Star Trek series would end after five seasons. He said people would "check out after two or three seasons". Well, if you take forever to deliver new seasons with only 10 episodes each, no wonder people lose interest.

It's the tardigras spore drive all over again: everyone is to blame but the people who thought of it.

Des scientifiques ont découvert une bactérie avec des fibres de nickel conductrices d'électricité. Elles déploient ces filaments sur quelques centimètres, créant une sorte de réseau électrique dans la vase (son biotope). Cette conductivité joue un rôle critique dans l'optimisation de leur métabolisme.
L'humanité étant ce qu'elle est 🙄 les chercheurs sont déjà en train d'envisager des applications.
On pourrait prendre un moment pour réaliser qu'un organisme infiniment moins complexe que nous a exploité l'électricité des millions d'années avant notre apparition ?

Interesting take from Evan Bernick:

Nobody should think that Judge #Xinis is ensuring that #KilmarAbregoGarcía stays in #ElSalvador for 2 weeks.

Xinis is banking on the government not wanting to spend 2 weeks in #discovery.

Either they just make the call & get him back, or they spend 2 weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups & end up getting sanctioned.

I also seriously doubt any of #Trump’s ofcls want to give sworn #depositions.

🐚Most likely an Acteonella fossil, estimated to be around 70 million years old. This region was once covered by sea, and one of the nearby mountains was a massive coral reef in ancient times—traces of a long-lost ocean world, now hidden in stone.

Shot with my #nikon d500. More to follow :)

👉 #Discovery of the day:
Some of the most fundamental concepts in quantitative #Geography and #GIS were published in the #CATMOG series by the Institute of British Geographers (now part of the #RGS). Unfortunately, these publications are rarely available online, and an increasing number of libraries no longer carry this series.
👏 But thanks to Prof. Mark Green, almost all CATMOG publications are available on GitHub: github.com/qmrg/CATMOG/tree/Ma
