Article about recent paper by Professor Peter Doran and others about Blood Falls in Antarctica
Fun little paper we published last month got picked up by earth.com. The author got it mostly right. There was no press release so he seemed to go above and beyond and read the paper and some citations in it and used references. Nice work. #scicomm 🧪 www.earth.com/news/antarct...
