James Farquhar published two articles in Science, April 17 edition. The first article reported on research of an ecosystem discovered below the Antarctic Taylor Glacier which has survived millions of years by using sulfur and iron compounds for growth. Follow up articles appeared in The Guardian, ScienceNow, UPI, Space Daily and RedOrbit. The second article reported on research findings of early oxygenation, showing how supposed signs of an early lack of oxygen could have come from unrelated geochemical reactions. The research was also the topic of a Science, News of the Week article. A follow-up article appeared in Chemical and Engineering News, April 20.
