Reading Material

Here are a few articles I thought might be of some interest...haven't read them all.

Is Plaxico Burress an Anomaly?


The Sushi Wars: Can the Bluefin Tuna Be Saved?


Scientists Discover 21st Century Plague


Astronomers find hints of water on Saturn moon

^I thought the above article pretty interesting. I recently read a paper dealing with biological activity(DNA) after being frozen for millions of years. Research was done in the artic where core samples were taken from like 45mil and 150mil or so years ago and believe it or not biological activity was found. This means, extreme temperatures of let's say Mars, could hypothetically have potential sources for growth and evolution.

It's also important, that radiation(more species) occurred when ice was thawed. Relating this topic to melting ice in the poles and you have opportunities for bacterial communities to grow, potentially altering the ecosystem. Science is neat.
