When carbon dioxide starts freezing out of the air you know that it's a bit chilly outside. (Yes I know the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is too low for you to actually see dry ice forming. But damn, that's cold!)

One of biggest mysteries in biology: how did complex eukaryotic cells evolve from simple microbes? ~1.8 billion years ago, an archaeal cell likely merged with a bacterium to form the first eukaryotic cell, but can we ever find direct evidence of this transformative event? 🦠 πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ
