...mass), based on the wobble in the wavelength of starlight caused by GJ 1214b's gravitational pull on its star. That analysis revealed the new planet's density: about one-third of Earth's. Because water has a much lower density than rock, astronomers figured that the "most plausible scenario is a planet made mostly of water, with a significant atmosphere," says Charbonneau. So despite its high temperature, GJ 1214b's high atmospheric pressure and relatively low density mean liquid water could exist there after...
...This scenario was part of an interviewing workshop led by Malisheski and Assistant Director of Career Services, Counselor for GSAS Students and Ph.Ds Amy E. Sanford last week in conjunction with Harvard Graduate Women in Science and Engineering (HGWISE...
Fortunately, the worst case scenario did not come to pass. "The worst case consistent with the data we have now is a lot milder than the worst case consistent with the data we had in the summer or spring," Lipsitch says...
...about 4 million workers a month. There is always a lot of churn in the American labor market and that doesn't stop during a recession. (We don't particularly feel the hiring right now because companies are letting workers go at a higher rate.) In a best-case scenario - if using tax dollars to subsidize corporate hiring works exactly as it should - we'd wind up paying for 4 million hires a month that we would have otherwise gotten for free...
Yale's Cross Campus blog has the full story, which they dismiss as an obvious prank, but we're not so sure. Open-list emails on this campus are rejecting the YDN's parallels to 1995's Outbreak and betraying fears of a 28 Days Later scenario instead...
