From now on, if anybody ever asks me "hey didn't Curiosity discover life on Mars?" I'm going to tell them to ask you and give them your email address
-
Can I have his email address? I’d like to complain. That tweet has been up for hours and no one has bothered to delete it/retract. And we wonder why people don’t trust the newspapers and ignorance about science is so high....
-
The next 3 sentences: “That does not prove that life has ever existed on Mars. The same carbon molecules, broadly classified as organic matter, also exist within meteorites that fall from space. They can also be produced in chemical reactions that do not involve biology.”
-
The headline in the tweet is plainly false however.
-
The headline is “Life on Mars? Rover’s Latest Discovery Puts It ‘On the Table’”. That’s not false.
-
The headline in the tweet says that curiosity discovered molecules produced by living organisms.
-
Organic molecules are produced by living organisms. Curiosity discovered organic molecules. I agree that if all you read are tweets, you’ll have a misleading, incomplete picture of the news. That’s why I write 1,100-word articles.

Tweet seems in contention with "organic molecules also can be created by non-biological processes and are not necessarily indicators of life. " from NASA announcementhttps://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-finds-ancient-organic-material-mysterious-methane-on-mars …
-
Or even "'Curiosity has not determined the source of the organic molecules,' said Jen Eigenbrode" From the NASA announcement.

This is totally false. You’re spreading fiction. Talk to a scientist before writing about it.

Come on now. “We” [Mars scientists] did NOT say anything like this.
