In a recent SETI Live, Professor Dagomar Degroot from Georgetown University joined Beth Johnson for an enlightening conversation about The Climate Chronicles podcast. The podcast focuses on the Earth’s climatic evolution, spanning 50 million years, to shed light on what history can teach us about the climate crisis we face today.
SETI InstituteThe Climate Chronicles: Exploring Earth's Climate History with Professor Dagomar DegrootTo spread awareness that “climate change isn’t just an environmental issue; it’s a human story woven into the fabric of our civilization’s rise and fall,” Georgetown University historian Professor Dagomar Degroot recognized the need for a dynamic medium, leading to the creation of the podcast, The Climate Chronicles.

In a recent study, Dr. Janice Bishop of the SETI Institute, along with postdoctoral researcher Adomas Valantinas from Brown University, propose that Mars' characteristic red hue is primarily due to ferrihydrite—a water-rich iron oxide mineral—rather than the previously assumed hematite. In this week's #SETILive, planetary scientist Beth Johnson chatted with Dr. Bishop about the evidence for ferrihydrite and what it could have meant for life on Mars.
This week's #NewBooks at the library: Two second-hand copies of #PhysicalAnthropology books from Cambridge University Press: What #Teeth Reveal About Human #Evolution and Evaluating Evidence in Biological #Anthropology. Taschen had a sale on recently, so I bagged myself a copy of The Fantastic Worlds of #FrankFrazetta at less than half price

Planetary Society Book Club: Author Nathalie Cabrol's "The Secret Life of the Universe" https://www.planetary.org/video/nathalie-cabrol-the-secret-life-of-the-universe
Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, joined Planetary Society's Mat Kaplan to discuss her excellent book, subtitled "An Astrobiologist’s Search for the Origins and Frontiers of Life." It traces the full spectrum of our search for answers to the two great questions: Where do we come from? And are we alone?

What happens when someone with a background in science studies and an interest in patient experience has to stay in hospital?
Some passing thoughts on illness as a boundary object following my recent stay in hospital with a broken leg.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "A place worth sitting" shows a Dilophosaurus sitting on a beach in the rain (there's a fossil of this happening!).
Eat, Poop, Die: How Animals Make Our World is out in paperback today! Fun, fascinating, and always with one eye firmly on the facts, this book shows how animals shape ecosystems through their everyday activities.

It's a busy work week for me, but I've found a moment to share a featured post with you.
