Looks like the evidence for this weird chemical abundance in an exoplanet atmosphere has gotten stronger with new JWST data: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s... Is it really a sign of life? That’s still not clear; lots of analysis left to do. But it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out! 🧪 🔭

Trump and Musk are taking a chainsaw to public schools knowing it's not their kids who will suffer the consequences. Millions of families count on the Education Department to help fund their public schools and protect their rights. I'm calling for an independent investigation.
