  1. #eukaryotic cells and the proto-ancient Halls Of #Asgard and #FirstContact

    *The Conversation* has an interesting read about how #Stromatolites may demonstrate a mechanism for the evolution of Eucaryotic cells like those that make up you or possibly me.[1][2]

  2. A very cool talk this week at GEOTOP by André Pellerin, University of Quebc at Rimouski. He spoke on the strange chemistry and biology of Lake Untersee, east Antarctica. This lake is perpetually ice-covered and the bottom covered with (microbial mats) similar to those found in ecosystems three billion years in Earth's past.
