The “Odd Inches”: Moby-Dick’s Fossil Record and Melville’s Admeasured Time
Miranda: Revue Pluridisciplinaire du Monde Anglophone, 2022 This paper considers the measurements of fossils and markers of geologic time as they appear throughout Moby-Dick, complicating histories of bodies and their remainders. Looking for instances where Ishmael’s measurements fall short or fail to include the

Beyond Mediocrity: How Common is Life? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 522,
Issue 2, June 2023, Pages 3117-3123, 2023 The probability that life spontaneously emerges in a suitable environment (abiogenesis) is one of the major unknowns in astrobiology. Assessing its value is impeded by the lack of an accepted theory for the origin of life, and is further complicated by the existence of selection biases.

The Future of Origin of Life Research: Bridging Decades-Old Divisions
Life, 2020 Research on the origin of life is highly heterogeneous. After a peculiar historical development, it still includes strongly opposed views which potentially hinder progress.

Did Homocysteine Take Part in the Start of the Synthesis of Peptides on the Early Earth?
Biomolecules, 2022 Unlike its shorter analog, cysteine, and its methylated derivative, methionine, homocysteine is not today a proteinogenic amino acid. However, this thiol containing amino acid is capable of forming an activated species intramolecularly.

Straightforward Creation of Possibly Prebiotic Complex Mixtures of Thiol-Rich Peptides
Life, 2023 At the origin of life, extremely diverse mixtures of oligomers and polymers could be obtained from relatively simple molecular bricks. Here, we present an example of the polymerization of two amidonitriles derived from cysteine, Cys-Ala-CN and Cys-Met-CN.
