New ARCHIVED - NASA Moon news: We’ve selected two new science instrument suites that will travel to the Moon! Both payloads will receive a ride to the lunar surface as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, part of NASA Artemis: go.nasa.gov/3GMhud2

LEIA will study the effects of the Moon’s low gravity and radiation environment on yeast and will test how its cells make protein and nutrients that could be used in future NASA Artemis missions. Congrats to Dr. Mark Settles & the NASA Ames team!

Very excited to be sending a yeast genetics experiment to the Moon! nasa.gov/press-release/…

The bottom line is that if you care about price, quality, safety, or benefit to the environment, you’re better off avoiding organic products of all sorts. Henry Miller, MS, MD Kathleen Hefferon, PhD realclearscience.com/articles/2022/…

I am excited to share our study on Dad’s contributions to seed development. This is the first direct evidence for the original hypotheses of Xenia and parental conflict theory. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Worrying about the future of the college is like worrying about the future of Twitter. What’s the worst that could happen?

1/ Excited to share our new paper "Labor advantages drive the greater productivity of faculty at elite universities" in Science Advances with Hunter Wapman @danlarremore @aaronclauset.bsky.social: scim.ag/AV Why do faculty publication rates increase so much with prestige? Let’s go:🧵
