So many beautiful animals down there.On an unrelated note, I'd love to see much more advancement in research in the world's oceans more than anything else, even space. Nothing is more fascinating to me than the deep blue.

This is why in science, you shouldn't fake results or cook the books... people will try to replicate what you did and if you lied, you'll get called out on it. It happened with the vaccines cause autism study, it happened with Theranos and their blood testing equipment, and there are plenty of other examples. It's sort of nice to see the opposite in which a group took so much flack for faking results only to have them confirmed.Climate scientists use sea surface temperature data in their calculations of global warming trends. But "a fair bit of the apparent hiatus seems to be due to problems in our ocean measurements, and not a real thing," as study lead author Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and data scientist at the University of California Berkeley and Berkeley Earth, tells The Christian Science Monitor in a phone interview.
Dr. Hausfather and his colleagues aren't the first team to say this. But in 2015, when National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists first identified the errors in the data, political turmoil ensued. So, as replication is a tenet of science, Hausfather and his colleagues set about seeing if they could come to the same conclusion as the NOAA team. Their results are detailed in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.

Tangential to that; their breast cancer series of comics were gut wrenching and uplifting at the same time.

$9,000 to produce 1lb of chicken.
How many years do you think it will take to get that down to $10.

I would expect the cost to go down at a faster rate than microprocessor speeds go up.$9,000 to produce 1lb of chicken.
How many years do you think it will take to get that down to $10.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/07/health/ol ... ils-found/The oldest fossil remains of Homo sapiens, dating back to 300,000 years, have been found at a site in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco. This is 100,000 years older than previously discovered fossils of Homo sapiens that have been securely dated. The discovery was presented in a study in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
This marks the first discovery of such fossils in north Africa, and widens the "cradle of mankind" to encompass all of Africa, the researchers said. Previous finds were in south or east Africa. The fossils, including a partial skull and a lower jaw, belong to five different individuals including three young adults, an adolescent and a child estimated to be 8 years old. Stone tools, animal bones and evidence of fire were also found within the same layer at the site.
