Century-old corals reveal the Pacific Northwest is acidifying faster than expected
In 1888, researchers aboard the R/V Albatross began the world’s first concentrated marine research expeditions off California’s Pacific coast.

STM32MP2 XC7K160T PCIe test board progress! 66 unrouted nets in the power supply, but I think it'll fit.
There's something for everybody in this board:
* 0201 passives? Check (under the SoC)
* Lots of FPGA? XC7K160T is decently sized
* Lots of CPU? Dual A35s, a M33, a M0 , and a M4
* High speed? PCIe gen2 and a SFP that is theoretically capable of 8 GT/s but I'm gonna try pushing the FPGA a bit and see if I can make it do 10Gbase-R with acceptable BER…
