    A Weird Paper Tests The Limits of Science by Claiming Octopuses Came From Space[^] It's not so much the premise of the paper the article describes, but its ability to navigate the obstacles of scientific rigor like peer review, that has me reeling.

                Having bothered to follow the link to the paper, and scan that, I'm unsurprised to note that the paper in way makes the suggestion that Octopuses came from space. Rather, that organic material from space (such as viruses) may have affected the DNA of hosts to result in the mutations that became Octopuses and related species. And the reviews summarised of the papers point out that there is insufficient evidence as yet to support even that claim. Sounds like Science continues to function as intended to me. Science journalism on the other hand...
