    yes, the internet is going crazy over this one :) (http://cumbriansky.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/nasas-astrobiology-press-conference/) This is the most likely scenario I've seen so far for what will be announced tomorrow: http://skymania.com/wp/2010/11/alien-life-form-is-here-on-earth.html/ "...discovery of microbes in a deadly poisonous lake that get their energy from arsenic. Experts say this shows they had a completely different origin to any other creature known on our planet. It means that life began not just once but at least twice on Earth."

    well, we've all seen the movie Evolution (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251075/) ;p ... this is exactly this scenario indeed.
  • Ma Ru on 02 Dec 10
     
    yaaawnnn... Let's wait until they actually announce it.

    http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ for the moment is down. My bet, the microbe they found notified its cousins and they are currently invading the US
  • Luís F. Simões on 02 Dec 10
     
    you can still see the rest of it here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html a good link with a summary and discussion on the announcement is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/dec/02/nasa-life-form-bacteria-arsenic

    Does the Drake equation (and the revised formulations) need to be adjusted?

    > Does the Drake equation (and the revised formulations) need to be adjusted? Certainly. See the XKCD journal, vol. 1 issue 384.

    Pretty nifty... we should look into this.
  • Luís F. Simões on 13 Dec 10
     
    the cited paper by Baluška et al (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2010.09.003) is a 2 page summary on the view that roots display swarm intelligence. Nothing really new compared to what those same authors have been writing about, but nice compilation of recent references on the subject.
