The fossil record has a lot to say about the earth's future. Just one chapter... bit.ly/enrmollusk

Mollusks — dead and alive — can help predict future shellfish extinction

Rising ocean temperatures are likely to result in extinction of some species of mollusks. But which will we lose first?

Answer: Both a hot topic AND cool research!
DOE Office of Science@doescience5 Jan 2023
Is nuclear physics a hot topic or cool research? At the Town Hall Meeting on Hot & Cold Quantum Chromodynamics, it was both. Researchers @williamandmary provided input (based in part on work @JLab_News) to a long-range planning process for the field: news.wm.edu/2022/11/28/willi…
