The Theranos Founder, Elizabeth Holmes has been convicted of fraud.

Prosecutors have said Holmes knowingly lied about technology she said could detect diseases with just a few drops of blood.

The prosecution sought to prove Holmes knew the product she was selling to investors - a machine called the Edison - was a scam, but remained determined for the company’s success.

Theranos was at one point valued at $9 billion, and Holmes was able to raise more than $900 million from various billionaires.

Scientists have found water marks up to as much as 40% of Mars’ grand canyon.

As it covers 15,800 square miles (41,000 square kilometers), the water area is larger than the Netherlands.

Alexey Malakhov, a scientist at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow said “We found a central part of Valles Marineris to be packed full of water - far more water than we expected” as well as “This is very much like Earth’s permafrost regions, where ice permanently persists under dry soil because of the constant low temperatures.”

Researchers used the Trace Gas Orbiter to record neutrons exiting the soil of Mars, which took about 3 years of recordings before finding and producing the discovery.

“Such ice not only is an intriguing material for searching frozen proto-life fragments or complex organic molecules from the early epoch of Mars, but also is an indispensable natural resource for future Mars exploration that is easy to exploit,” Malakov and his co-authors said in their corresponding paper which was published in Icarus.

Jim said “I just figured I’d do what I can do”, which clearly shows you what an incredibly selfless person he is. We could use more people like him in the world!
