🔴 Did you know #Mars is still changing, and you can see it in 3D? Processes like erosion and rock breakdown happen on Mars, too! Using ultra-sharp #HiRISE images, Sarah S Sutton, Matthew Chojnacki, Alfred McEwen and co-researchers capture detailed 3D views of dunes and mysterious dark streaks as they evolve. 🛰️Explore the animated views and article at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.19555210 and https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14102403.

🌿Did you know citizen #scientists can help solve difficult ecological mysteries? Christopher Frost trained a team of 394 regular people to measure how much insects eat leaves in a rainforest. They examined over 175,000 leaves and, with high data integrity, confirmed that leaves lower in the forest get eaten much more than leaves at the top (18% vs. 12%).

🔬 Did you know #cholesterol can make cell membranes 3 times stiffer by packing the molecules in the membrane more tightly? Saptarshi Chakraborty, Milka Doktorova, Trivikram R. Molugu, Frederick A. Heberle and co-researchers found that cholesterol influences membrane molecules in ways previously thought impossible.

🔴Do you know that the seasonal streaks on #Mars’ Martian slopes often result from dust storms, not water? 🌪️Research by Alfred S. McEwen, Ethan Schaefer, Colin M. Dundas, Sarah S Sutton, Leslie K Tamppari, and Matthew Chojnacki found that many new streaks appeared after the massive 2018 dust storm.

💉Did you know many young adults think they’re too old for the #HPV vaccine, but they’re not. Even parental influence still stop people aged 18–26 from getting protected. Researchers led by Namoonga M. Mantina uncovered this while studying what helps or stops young adults from getting vaccinated.

💧 Did you know #climatechange could make rivers carry more mud and sand in the future, globally up to 8% more, and in some regions, far higher. These and more are the findings of Alexander B. Prescott & Jon D. Pelletier, who studied how climate-driven changes impact suspended-sediment yields by the end of the century. Their dataset & article are at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.28236122 & https://doi.org/10.1029/2025EF006125. Image: Prescott et al. (2025).

🚰 Water access in major U.S. cities is getting worse, not better. New research by Katie Meehan, Jason Jurjevich, Lucy Everitt, Nicholas Chun, & Justin Sherrill found that since 2008, more households have been living without running water. Rising housing costs are creating a growing “plumbing poverty” crisis. The research data and article are at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.25724286 & https://doi.org/10.1038/s44284-024-00180-z; refer to them for details. Image: Meehan et al. (2024).
