The Dramatic True Story Of The Laki Volcanic Eruption


The Dramatic True Story Of The Laki Volcanic Eruption
By Sarah Crocker/March 5, 2021 2:52 pm EDT/Updated: March 8, 2021 9:11 am EDT
Today, volcanoes are widely considered to be pretty cool. You would be hard-pressed, after all, to go through life without encountering a book or a documentary that s fascinated by the subject, or, for that matter, an enthusiastic young student who s ready to dramatically reenact some of their favorite historical eruptions.
Of course, this subject may seem real in a very different way to the people who still live in the shadow of an active volcano, like the Neapolitans who can look up everyday to see the peak of Pompeii-destroying Mount Vesuvius. ....

The cyanobacteria species that produces gatorbulin-1, tentatively identified as
Lyngbya confervoides, forms these reddish-green, hair-like structures which are a collection of connected single cells rather than a true multicellular organism. (Raphael Ritson-Williams)
Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, are some of the oldest organisms on Earth, appearing in the fossil record over 3.5 billion years ago. But there is more to these photosynthetic bacteria than their long history. One species produces a chemical compound that shows potential for further research as a novel chemotherapy drug.
New research in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences explains how the compound, gatorbulin-1 (GB1), from a cyanobacteria species in south Florida, may have significant anti-cancer activity. This discovery by scientists at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Un ....

New fossil discovery illuminates the lives of the earliest primates


 E-Mail
New York, February 24, 2021 - Graduate Center, CUNY/Brooklyn College professor was part of a discovery of the first fossil evidence of any primate, illustrating the earliest steps of primates 66 million years ago following the mass extinction that wiped out all dinosaurs and led to the rise of mammals.
Stephen Chester, an assistant professor of anthropology and paleontologist at the Graduate Center, CUNY and Brooklyn College, was part of a team of 10 researchers from across the United States who analyzed several fossils of Purgatorius, the oldest genus in a group of the earliest-known primates called plesiadapiforms. These ancient mammals were small-bodied and ate specialized diets of insects and fruits that varied across species. ....
