On this 25th anniversary of 9/11 I flew on AA12 from LAX to BOS. As I went through security, the whole airport paused for a moment of silence. As I arrived home, I was in time for Rosh Hashanah to ring in the new year 5787. May their memory be a blessing, and the new year be sweet.

A profound undertold story is Martin & Russell on origin of life: hydrothermal vents solve many chicken-and-egg problems (10.1098/rstb.2002.1183). An early step in this process is self-replicating RNAs. Earlier this year, Gianni (10.1126/science.adt2760) showed QT45 is one.

Wildfires Are Turning Forests in the American West Into Shrubland (Gift Article)
Towering woodlands in the West are being permanently replaced by tracts of spiky shrubs. Conditions “just aren’t normal anymore,” one researcher said.

The daily global average sea surface temperature has just reached its highest level on record, per C3S. "The timing of the record is particularly notable. Global ocean temperatures are typically highest in March and April, following the austral summer, yet this record has been reached in August."

And we know that the components (nucelotides) of a molecule now demonstrated to be self-replicating (RNA) form abiotically... increasing the odds (but of course not guaranteeing) that alien life may have some similarities in overall biochemistry.

Michael Ringel | Chief Operating Officer, Life Biosciences @michaelringel.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
All of these are probabilistic, and there could be life that doesn't fit any of this: silicon-based that evolved on surfaces or in clouds. But a) it would be even more rare, and b) we'd be even less clear about knowing it when we see it

Michael Ringel | Chief Operating Officer, Life Biosciences @michaelringel.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
I think there's a pretty strong inference to say likely carbon-based: it is the abundant element that can have complex chemistry. And a pretty strong inference to say liquid medium (biochemistry very hard in gas and solid). There are alternatives like methane, but they're not very good at dissolving

Fish form follows function. Thick body/tail=efficient thrust- like a launching rocket- good for filtering a wide area (top left). Small fins at all angles=moving in any direction- like a docking spacecraft- good for searching in nooks (bottom right). Webb, Amer Zool 1984.
