Building Foresight for Earth Science, featuring Lindsey Jacobson
NASA’s Earth-observing satellite missions track dozens of features of a changing planet — aerosols, sea levels, land cover, cloud cover — over years and decades. Sustaining that record for the scientific and operational communities who depend on it requires more than engineering talent.

NASA Johnson Pilots Chase Moon’s Shadow for Eclipse Science
During the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse over Europe, scientists aimed to study a long-standing mystery: why the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, is far hotter than its visible surface. Capturing the data they needed meant being in exactly the right place at the right time.

A scalable platform to discover and characterize substrates of molecular glue degraders
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 17 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03256-4 Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) induce degradation of non-native protein substrates (neo-substrates) through the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4CRBN. MGD discovery is largely serendipitous, and the specificity of MGD-mediated target selection remains poorly understood. We developed an MGD discovery pipeline to identify cereblon (CRBN)–MGD neo-substrates and structural determinants of MGD-mediated degradation.
Analysis
The item reports a method or development in biotechnology. The short feed text is not sufficient to assess validation, limitations or reproducibility; those require reading the original work.
