(1/13) Hey, BlueSky. I just got some new research published! "Activation energies of both constructive and destructive cellular biochemistry determine maximum growth temperature in archaea". What microbial growth parameters change with growth temperature? rdcu.be/eM8bv.

Using Bayesian inversion on microbial growth curves, the difference between activation energies of molecular destructive and constructive processes is identified as the main driver of variations in the maximum growth temperature of archaeal cells. @aaffholder.bsky.social go.sn.pub/c511xp

We just got some new research published last week about exoplanet habitability : doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/ada384 Earth's carbon cycle sustained by plate tectonics is unique in the solar system. Are terrestrial exoplanets in the HZ like the Earth? Or like Mars and Venus ?
