As a proud Californian (nothing wrong with anywhere else, just love the state I grew up in) I'm happy at the work that's been done in the state. Is there still work to be done? Absolutely. But it's also good to be proud of what you've accomplished.

A new study shows that plate tectonics may have gotten started because of the impact that caused the formation of our moon. It has long been a geologic mystery as to why plate tectonics started up on our planet and this could be the answer we were looking for.

Fact check!
Hello everyone! Since America has decided that we apparently are going to live in something that has been dubbed a "post-truth era" (not something that is on Taylor Swift's Eras tour) I feel that we need to add regular fact checking to our positive science stories.
