g ABODES - Glaciers along the Gulf of Alaska are enriching stream and near shore marine ecosystems from a surprising source - ancient carbon contained in glacial runoff, researchers from four universities and the U.S. Forest Service report. See article.
g LIFE - Scientists have shown for the first time that insects, like mammals, use vision rather than touch to find footholds. They made the discovery thanks to high-speed video cameras - technology the BBC uses to capture its stunning wildlife footage - that they used to film desert locusts stepping along the rungs of a miniature ladder. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Here's a classic I stumbled across online: Carl Sagan's 1978 article "The Quest for Extraterrestrial Intelligence." Few other pieces so eloquently capture the essential, human purpose behind astrobiology and SETI. See article.
