The permafrost is thawing, a process that will warm the planet in a positive feedback cycle that will produce methane and carbon dioxide, two gases observed in the atmosphere of Mars. Could microbes be involved? It’s “De-Permafrosting” on Big Picture Science.

One of the things I love about sticky-notes is that they don't damage anything they're stuck to. So, I could maybe stick one to the edge of a mirror in the ladies room of a restaurant. And it wouldn't damage anything.

If you'd like a few of these sticky-notes, you can sign up for my #StickersAndStamps project and mention 'Sticky Notes' in the 'comment' field.

This way, I can send you these and you can help with my project as well,
