ICYMI: From microbes to whales, Antarctic life is getting a much closer look. 🧬❄️
Congratulations to @DRIScience, where Alison Murray will lead an $18.4 million @NSF-funded project to sequence more than 250 Antarctic species and build an open genomic data resource for researchers. @UNLV’s Allyson Hindle is also part of the research team.
See how this Nevada-led project could shape the next generation of Antarctic research: bit.ly/4yYHsUY

In a remote corner of the driest state in the country, Anne Heggli's team has been keeping watch over the Earth’s oldest trees. Since 02012, Heggli’s @DRIScience NevCAN network has recorded conditions at the Long Now Nevada Bristlecone Preserve every eight minutes. The result is more than 120 million data points and a high-resolution portrait of how a bristlecone pine thrives.
Accompanied by artist/philosopher Jonathon Keats and paleoclimatologist Adam Csank, Heggli made the case for long science: patient, continuous observation that will help us answer the future’s most urgent climate questions.
