Great story in this week’s #GoodTimes #SantaCruz, “I want my mp3”, about a couple of computer science students and music lovers at #UCSantaCruz in 1993 who used digitization and data compression, both in their infancy, to create the IUMA (Internet Underground Music Archive). This was way before Napster or anything else. Today, if you search for IUMA on archive.org you will get 45,000 hits. #music #internet

Fascinating: researchers in LA simulate a planetary mass extinction level event (#ELE) for the first time

Prof. Jarmila #Pittermann and Alex #Baer, two plant #biologists at #UCSantaCruz, examine ferns inside the #greenhouse where they simulated the conditions of the #Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event."

Only the strong survive

Spoiler: it wouldn't have been humans.
While 75% of of all species did not survive the ELE; ferns did.
