@PatternChaser My guidelines are (not consciously but consistently):
- #Clarity: be deliberate in my word choice
- #Calmness: don't raise my voice
- #Kindness: attempt to minimize violence in my communication
- #Curiosity: seek to understand
The latter three are challenging when shame or embarrassment is present. Finding a lot of this as a newly diagnosed autistic.
Organic molecules of unprecedented size discovered on Mars
These long carbon chains, containing up to 12 consecutive carbon atoms, could exhibit features similar to the fatty acids produced on Earth by biological activity.

Spuren von Leben? – Bislang längste organische Moleküle auf Mars entdeckt
Auf dem Roten Planeten waren die Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung von Leben wohl noch besser als angenommen. Darauf deuten nun entdeckte Moleküle hin.

#Curiosity found some #sulfur crystals on #Mars. The article doesn't get into the specifics but apparently this sort of sulfur crystal requires very specific conditions to form, giving more clues about the red planet's ancient climate.

(24 Mar) Scientists Find Giant Organic Molecules on Mars as Old as Life on Earth
The longest organic molecules yet found on Mars are very similar to those produced by life on Earth.

Nasa rover discovers largest organic compounds yet found on Mars
Presence of long-chain alkanes in rock raises new questions about possible existence of life billions of years ago

Any people with a #Bachelor or #Masters in #Science or #Engineering from the #US thinking about leaving the #USA?
I work for a multinational engineering company with teams across #Europe – especially in the #DACH region – and we’re constantly looking for skilled, #curious minds.
No, you don’t need fluent German to get started. But let’s be real: if you want to truly arrive here, learning the language isn’t optional – it’s a sign of respect and makes life way easier. So bring #curiosity... and a bit of humility.
Moving abroad isn’t for everyone. But for those ready to grow beyond borders – it might be the smartest risk you’ll ever take.

Curiosity Rover in Gale crater: A drive of ~33 meters during Sol 4483 (March 17, 2025). The drive direction was southwest with a small detour to check out a rock formation, the rover climbed 2.2 meters during the ~59 minute drive. Post drive L-NavCam, the drive data extracted from JPL's waypoint JSON, and a couple of traverse maps (different scales). Image Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech.
[Mars' #GaleCrater, #Curiosity's home] Voici un modèle 3D du Mont Mercou réalisé par @stim3on (OSUNA/LPG, Nantes) à partir de photos haute résolution prises par les caméras Navcam and Mastcam du rover Curiosity - avec les contributions de S. Le Mouélic (CNRS/LPG Nantes) et Gwénaël CARAVACA (GET, OMP). Magnifique, non ?

Curiosity's latest workspace imaged on mission sol 4480 (March 14, 2025 ) after a drive of 24 meters (~79 ft). This composite image is assembled from 15 overlapping L-MastCam sub-frame images. The workspace covers an area about 2 meters (~6.5 feet) across, and shows details within the workspace accessible to the instruments and tools on the rover's 2 meter-long robotic arm.
