from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

NASA has selected 41 proposals from 37 companies to develop critical technologies for long-term human presence on the Moon and Mars, while also tapping three commercial partners for new lunar missions launching in 2028. Meanwhile, Perseverance just hit a jaw-dropping milestone on the Martian surface after five years of exploration. Back on Earth, 567-million-year-old fossils are pushing back the timeline of complex animal life, and scientists uncovered a 5-million-year-old whale graveyard beneath the Indian Ocean packed with evolutionary clues. We also dig into what chimpanzees reveal about humanity's ancient obsession with crystals, a potential breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment, and why your childhood soda habit might be affecting your heart right now.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
