The key to transitioning from a soup of organic molecules to something resembling life was self-replication. This RNA molecule might be one of many that can do that and would have been the basis for the first cellular machinery. 🧪

This dual role exposes a paradox:
Tourism can amplify climate awareness, yet risks reinforcing maladaptive responses in the very landscapes it seeks to showcase.

If you have research interests in the shelf seas, estuarine and coastal oceans then this could be for you!
And you could do research using UEA's fleet of ocean gliders

We simulated H2 and CO2 injection on a model methanogen 🦠 & developped a fully transparent high pressure reactor for microbial cultures 🔧

Sonia combined molecular, geochemical & spectroscopic tools to reveal how microbes survive in Arctic gypsum rocks 🧬🧪🔬🐻❄️
And how their imprints can inform understanding of past life & future life-detection missions 🪐

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

We compared to contrasting observatories:
🌴 ☀️ Equatorial Atlantic (EAMO, 6°S), one of the first in low-latitudes
🍂 🌸 A well-studied temperate site (BBMO, 41°N) in the Mediterranean Sea

Glaciers around the world are melting so fast that we need to store ice cores in a sanctuary so that the next generation of researchers will have raw material to study! 🧊🔬
The ICE MEMORY project facilities just opened 2 days ago in Antarctica!

🤔There’s been lots of uncertainty about whether the number of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has increased, decreased or flatlined in recent decades

The first microbial colonisers use flexible chemoautotrophic strategies to overcome nutrient scarcity, including scavenging H2, CO and CH4 from the air! ⛅
