The Louvre’s particle accelerator has gone digital. The instrument can now fling protons, helium ions, and, soon, deuterons at priceless pieces of art to probe their elemental composition with all the precision and repeatability of modern vacuum science. cen.acs.org/analytical-che… .

For decades, researchers thought that, in nature, only enzymes could transform organic phosphorus into its bioavailable, inorganic form, free phosphate ions. New research shows that naturally occurring iron oxide minerals also act as catalysts: cen.acs.org/environment/Na… .

Fabricating data, throwing shade at other scientists and getting lots of citations: some say that's how to survive in academia. It's also how to win ‘Publish or Perish’ — a new card game that might hit close to home for researchers In nature w Max Bai nature.com/articles/d4158…

As the planet continues to warm, wolverines could become marooned on a metaphoric island—surrounded by forbidding heat, inhospitable prairie, and habitat-destroying development. Such a joy to work with Christine Peterson on this feature for Vox: vox.com/the-highlight/…

We know Indigenous fire management works. Now, Karuk fire tech Silas Yamamoto is traveling around the country to ignite more cross-boundary burns. It's all part of a larger effort to decolonize our relationship fire. Joseph Lee's latest: vox.com/climate/366765… Vox

The land now known as the Hanford Site has a long history. Before it was the most contaminated site in the western hemisphere, it was a place of Indigenous sustenance and ceremony. Tribal members want it to be again. hcn.org/issues/56-8/in…

I was fortunate enough to write this week’s cover story. There is a lot more to say about indoor air, but it was very nice to write about a couple of wins for monitoring indoor air quality in Colorado and Boston!

Will Ferrell deciding to educate himself and others as well as supporting and loving Harper unconditionally when she came out to him really puts some other comedians to shame, huh.

This is some of the most intense fire video I’ve ever seen. A California ski resort burned to the ground on a livestream. Mountain High resort in Wrightwood, CA has been consumed by the #BridgeFire.

I learned a lot of new things about RNA today! I also learned, among the tidbits that my colleagues dug up behind the scenes, that we could have had a married couple get the prize together--Ambros' wife was integral to the discovery--but we didn't! 🥲 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
