☆ Meteorites may be lost to Antarctic ice as climate warms, study says
  + stars: | 2024-04-10 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Ice sampling occurs on a blue ice area during the 2022 Chilean Antarctic Institute field mission. “As the climate continues to warm, Antarctic rocks are sinking into the ice at an increasing rate. Meteorites are particularly plentiful in blue ice fields. Steven Goderis/Vrije Universiteit BrusselResearchers have identified areas of meteorite-rich blue ice mostly by luck. “The main worry is the logistical aspect of searching for Antarctica meteorites, which is already difficult today due to the remoteness of Antarctica.

☆ Dinosaur-killing asteroid impact fouled Earth's atmosphere with dust
  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The total amount of dust, they calculated, was about 2,000 gigatonnes - exceeding 11 times the weight of Mt. While prior research highlighted two other factors - sulfur released after the impact and soot from the wildfires - this study indicated dust played a larger role than previously known. "It was cold and dark for years," Vrije Universiteit Brussel planetary scientist and study co-author Philippe Claeys said. "While the sulfur stayed about eight to nine years, soot and silicate dust resided in the atmosphere for about 15 years after the impact. "Without the impact, my guess is that mammals - including us - had little chance to become the dominant organisms on this planet."

☆ Introverts, stop acting like extroverts to be successful—do this instead, experts say
  + stars: | 2023-02-21 | by ( Natasha Piñon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The research is clear: Making extra small talk or raising your hand for networking opportunities can help introverts find more energy, better social connections and higher levels of happiness. Extroverts may feel recharged and revitalized after some small talk, while introverts are ready to lie down, even if they enjoyed those conversations just as much. Of course, not every stereotypically extroverted action drains introverts: Some might love rowdy happy hours or off-the-cuff brainstorms. "Acting like an extrovert" might just mean reaching out to others more often, despite knowing you typically find those interaction tiring. A simple calculation can help you determine when to put yourself out there and when to pull back, Shapiro says.
