So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.

Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.

Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.

In 2020 scientists renamed 27 human genes because Microsoft Excel kept auto-converting their names into dates, causing widespread errors in published genetic research

Gene symbols like SEPT1 and MARCH1 were automatically turned into dates (e.g., “Sep-01,” “Mar-01”) when opened in Excel. These mistakes showed up in supplementary data and even peer-reviewed papers.

Folks interested in science should be interested in Retraction Watch, which is now 15 years old. Started by medical journalists Ivan Oransky & Adam Marcus, the site is the only one (that I know of, anyway) that uncovers and tracks scientific retractions, errors, and other controversies. My best friend of 27 years happens to work there too, but that's besides the point! They do vital work no one else is doing. Their year-end summary is impressive.

Comme prévu, Bernard Arnault rachète ce mardi 30 décembre les magazines Challenges, Sciences et Avenir ainsi que La Recherche, annonce le groupe LVMH. L'homme le plus riche de France (et parfois du Monde), veut officiellement en assurer "la pérennité", selon un communiqué. Les journalistes de la maison ne sont pas convaincus et évoquent "un saut dans le vide" avec cette vente, alors qu’"une véritable défiance s’est installée" envers LVMH.
