About the dinosaur wars…? Somehow I find this whole discussion to be debated in a pretty narrow-minded fashion and it renders it, at least to me, fairly useless.
Environmental influences are important, too, but they are largely unsystematic, unstable and idiosyncratic.
NASA’s newly arrived Mars lander has been spotted by one its orbiting cousins.
The space agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter used its supersharp High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera (HiRISE) to photograph the InSight lander, as well as the hardware that helped the stationary robot ace its Nov. 26 touchdown on the equatorial plain known as Elysium Planitia.
“It looks like the heat shield (upper right) has its dark outside facing down, since it is so bright (saturated, probably a specular reflection),” HiRISE principal investigator Alfred McEwen, of the University of Arizona, wrote in an image description today (Dec. 13).

Whether we will ever find a way to overcome the physiological trade offs that hold back immortality, or whether we will really be able to replicate human consciousness in a computer are questions too difficult for us yet to answer. But are those leading the charge against death at least inspiring us to lead healthy lives, or are they simply rallying against an inevitable fate?

The event came hours after Curry raised doubts over whether humans ever landed on the moon during an appearance with other NBA players on the “Winging It” podcast.

A tiny piece of 3D-printed tech could foreshadow the future of medicine.
A team from MIT, Draper, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has created a 3D-printed smart pill that can release medications in the stomach and monitor temperature for up to a month at a time — and they believe they’ve only scratched the surface of its capabilities.
