Professor at the University of Manitoba who studies virus-host interactions, viral causes of cancer, and oncoproteins. Lover of adenovirus and E1A. Science is my jam, but I have an open mind and diverse interests.
This is a dangerous move that will promote spread, mutation, and needless suffering amongst those that are unvaccinated, especially younger children.

Welbanks+2025 try 90 hydrocarbons, finding 5 provide a better fit than DMS or DMDS. Propyne (C3H4) offers the best fit.
Propyne has been seen in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Titan, so it is plausible for K2-18b.
In other words, DMS and DMDS *vanish* once you include C3H4 in your model.

I should add that this episode, along with DS9's "The Visitor" are my absolute favourite episode of any Star Trek series.

Absolutely my favourite episode of TNG, a true sci-fi classic and a masterstroke of making a truly human story in a sci-fi background, like the old sci-fi masters used to write.
