What's up with the NASA junk science? First it's psuedo-fossils in meteorites, now a phony not-new life form. What's next, cold fusion? -- For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. (SW) Phil Whitmer And, the blowback:

To be honest i'm not sure their paper is that much more flawed than many papers of this type are - after all the point of publishing a paper is simply to initiate discussion, encourage people to repeat the experiment and prompt for counter arguments. They can't answer all the questions in one

There is a big difference between junk science and science which is incomplete, or published too early, or even of generally marginal quality. In the case of this recent work, the hypothesis is sound and the techniques used are reasonable. Certainly, there is reason to suspect that more work

I'm not defending the quality of the paper, only making a distinction between incomplete or poor quality science, and junk science. The paper may fall into one or both of the former categories; I don't think it falls into the latter. As I noted, the hypothesis is a sound one, and this work is

Glaciers flow downwards fairly quickly. The lifetime of the ice is pretty short. Combine that with their small surface area, and I don't think there's any reason to expect them to harbor meteorites. If you were going to look anywhere, it would be in their terminal moraines, where material in
