Just reviewed the demands letter the government sent to Harvard. Strong McCarthy vibes with this administration. Here are just a few of the most insane. Full letter here:

Very sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague astrophysicist Bob Kurucz from CfA. Bob's expertise in stellar atmospheres was legendary. His countless hours of discussion on spectra with me during SSP coffee was effectively a free graduate level class taught by the grandmaster himself.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the ...

Key to rapid planet formation
Researchers at LMU, the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster, and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) have developed a new model to explain the formation of giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The model furnishes deeper insights into the processes of planet formation and could expand our understanding of planetary systems.

Since so many have asked, here’s my hot take on the spherules Loeb found and the manuscript he’s loudly rushed to the world. These are pretty typical cosmic spherules. Had he done the *obvious*--a control sample 100 km away from the meteor--he’d have found the same thing. 1/20

Thanks to Dan Clery for this Science article on Avi's latest.

Lots of interesting details here! A few stand out to me. 1) The paper has been submitted for publication in the peer reviewed journal Ocean Science. That's good for the scientific process.
