Life on Mars? Not So Fast

[sdelmonte]

Remember my post last week about a possible articel being submitted to Nature claiming there is life on Mars? Turns out that Space.com might have jumped the gun.

My guess is that thee is no paper, and that the two scientists in question are not getting a red carpet treatment from their bosses for going public the way that they did.

So I don't think we are seeing the science story of the year after all.

Nuts.

Yay! I knew you'd be into it, and I wanted someone to share my squee!

I got the link from matociquala, who I would have credited more promptly if her username were easier to spell from memory. :)
