On this day in 1975, amidst unexpected challenges, Keith Jarrett released what would become a jazz masterpiece...

But what made this album so legendary?

@SteveBrusatte Hi Steven, I just finished reading your wonderful book "The rise and the fall of the dinosaurs" ; I'm late in the game, being a molecular biologist looking for things to do when retired 😁. I enjoyed very much your prose to tell the content. Cheers. David PM.

What was lost when the Library of Alexandria burned?

Well — our entire knowledge of the Greco-Roman world comes from about 500 volumes. 700,000 scrolls were potentially lost at Alexandria alone.

Here's what was in there... (thread) 🧵

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge." Ben Feringa

¿Sabías que? El sistema de la sonda Voyager es uno de los más sofisticados, jamás diseñados. Un ejemplo, la resolución de sus cámaras son lo suficientemente nítidas para leer el titular de un periódico a una distancia de 1 km. 🤯🛰️

Chemistry laureate Roger Kornberg's scientific contributions include determining the structure of the enzyme active in DNA transcription. His father Arthur Kornberg was awarded the 1959 medicine prize – genes clearly run in the family.

“Se había perdido el contacto con la sonda Voyager 1, que partió de la Tierra hace 46 años y que ahora está a más de 24 mil millones de kilómetros de nosotros, después de abandonar el sistema solar.
¿Y qué creen? Acaban de volver a entrar en contacto con la sonda”.
