W. DROOGER In the July issue of The Micropaleontologist, Esteban Boltovskoy raised the question of the species concept and related problems in the study of foramninifera. His article clearly shows the disadvantages of space limitations, as it deals with so many topics that the schematic treatment is sometimes in danger of being misunderstood. Nevertheless, Boltovskoy's article may be very usef'ul for those who ignore the neonto- logical species and subspecies concepts. Some very valuable warnings are given, although their background has to be necessarily very vague. At the risk of being equally terse, I would like to comment on some of the points raised by Boltovskoy. -
The Future of Continental Scientific Drilling U.S
THE FUTURE OF CONTINENTAL SCIENTIFIC DRILLING U.S. PERSPECTIVE Proceedings of a workshop | June 4-5, 2009 | Denver, Colorado DOSECC WORKSHOP PUBLICATION 1 Front Cover: Basalts and rhyolites of the Snake River Plain at Twin Falls, Idaho. Project Hotspot will explore the interaction of the Yellowstone hotspot with the continental crust by sampling the volcanic rocks underlying the plain. Two 1.5 km holes will penetrate both the surficial basalt and the underlying rhyolite caldera-fill and outflow depos- its. A separate drill hole will explore the paleoclimate record in Pliocene Lake Idaho in the western Snake River Plain. In addition to the understanding of continent-mantle interaction that develops and the paleoclimate data collected, the project will study water-rock interaction, gases emanating from the deeper curst, and the geomicro- biology of the rocks of the plain. Once scientific objectives and set, budgets are developed, and funding is granted, successful implementation of projects requires careful planning, professional on-site staff, appropriate equip- ment, effective logistics, and accurate accounting.

Terrestrial Impact Structures Provide the Only Ground Truth Against Which Computational and Experimental Results Can Be Com Pared
Ann. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 1987. 15:245-70 Copyright([;; /987 by Annual Reviews Inc. All rights reserved TERRESTRIAL IMI!ACT STRUCTURES ··- Richard A. F. Grieve Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario KIA OY3, Canada INTRODUCTION Impact structures are the dominant landform on planets that have retained portions of their earliest crust. The present surface of the Earth, however, has comparatively few recognized impact structures. This is due to its relative youthfulness and the dynamic nature of the terrestrial geosphere, both of which serve to obscure and remove the impact record. Although not generally viewed as an important terrestrial (as opposed to planetary) geologic process, the role of impact in Earth evolution is now receiving mounting consideration. For example, large-scale impact events may hav~~ been responsible for such phenomena as the formation of the Earth's moon and certain mass extinctions in the biologic record. The importance of the terrestrial impact record is greater than the relatively small number of known structures would indicate. Impact is a highly transient, high-energy event. It is inherently difficult to study through experimentation because of the problem of scale. In addition, sophisticated finite-element code calculations of impact cratering are gen erally limited to relatively early-time phenomena as a result of high com putational costs. Terrestrial impact structures provide the only ground truth against which computational and experimental results can be com pared. These structures provide information on aspects of the third dimen sion, the pre- and postimpact distribution of target lithologies, and the nature of the lithologic and mineralogic changes produced by the passage of a shock wave. -

February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise. -
Glossary of Major Terms and Concepts
Glossary of Major Terms and Concepts The following terms and concepts form the core of much of this book. Generally, they appear in boldface type in the text. The chapters in which they are more fully discussed are also given. Acceleration: Faster rate of developmenral evenrs (at any level: cell, organ, individual) in the descendanr; produces peramorphie traits when expressed in the adult pheno type. (Chapters 1 and 2) Allometric heterochrony: Change in a trair as a function of size (as opposed to a function of age in " true" heterochrony); it is useful as adescriptor and can be inrerpretive considering that body size is often a beuer metric of " inrrinsic" age than chronologi cal age. The same categories apply as in " true" heterochrony, only the adjective "allometric" is prefixed: e.g. , " allometric progenesis" is when the descendant ter minates growth at a smaller size (as opposed to age) than the ancestor. (Chapter 2) Allometry: The study of size and shape, usually using biometrie data; the change in size and shape observed. Basic kinds of allometric change include the following. Com plex allometry: occurs when the ratio of the specific growth rates of the traits compared are not constant, a log-log plot comparing the traits will not yield a straight line (i.e., " k" in the allometric formula is inconstanr). Isometry: occurs when there is no change in shape with size increase; that is, when the traits being compared on a log-log plot yield a straight line with a slope (k in the allometric formula) that is effectively equal to 1. -

IN THIS ISSUE April 20, 2021 When stimulated, each electrocyte of the electric eel can generate 150 mV via ion transportation through highly selective ion channels on cell membranes. ENGINEERING Printable power inspired by eels Printed energy storage devices can provide power to wearable devices. Lu Yang et al. used electric eels, which rely on sodium and potassium ion gradients to generate currents, for inspiration in developing alternatives to haz- ardous components in batteries. The authors developed two inks from graphene oxide, a permeable material with enhanced conductivity of positively charged ions. The two inks differed in their concentrations of potassium cations. Silver electrodes were also printed onto the paper. When moisture was introduced, reduction and oxidation of the silver produced a current, and potassium ions moved within the 2D nanofluidics in the graphene oxide, generat- ing 1.2 volts per cell. The silver electrodes also served to transform the ion migration into an electric current. When the authors printed 175 of these cells in a series, they gen- erated 192 volts of electricity. In the absence of moisture, such as in a vacuum bag, the voltage was zero. Using this approach, the authors created a 3D cell. According to the authors, the performance of the power source is similar to lithium thin-film batteries and could aid the development of wearable electronics. — T.H.D.
