Brief BioI was born and raised in Kalamazoo MI. I earned my bachelors of science in biology from Western Michigan University. I met and fell in love with a big goof of a man named Cliff. I have a fat lazy cat named Kerby and a dog named Bear. |
From Science Daily, iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (II) or Prussian blue salt when added to ammonia makes hydrogen cyanide. Which is an important building block when it comes to creating life. Leading to stuff like urea, lactic acid and dimethylhydantoin. Interesting bit about it concentrating carbon and creating hematite.
Post 100!
So I just joined Facebook. And I also belong to Twitter, Digg, Linkedin and MicrobeWorld. Would you call Netvibes one? Anyway, I’ve been reluctant about joining facebook because I have this impression that I have to be more proactive about being social. I have to acknowledge what “my friends” are posting and doing on there. For anyone following me on this blog, I’ve been at this for four years and haven’t broken a hundred posts yet (but soon). My just not chatty. So we’ll have to see how this goes.
From Physorg.com, findings from the red planet shows that the amount of methane (CH4) in the Martian atmosphere is not caused by meteorites. So now the thinking is that it is caused by the reaction of rock with water and CO2 or it is biological.
Given the amount of CO2 in Mars’ atmosphere, I’m leaning toward the geologic origin. But one can dream of Martian Microbes.
