+									</header>
+									<p>
+										<a href="https://www.livescience.com/unstable-moons-may-be-obliterating-alien-life-across-the-universe">I had the opportunity to comment 
+											on a recent paper for Live Science modeling the orbital instabilities of moons around faraway exoplanets.</a>
+										Although we haven't discovered any exomoons yet, we think they should exist, and if they do, should be subject to the same orbital dynamics
+										as moons are in our own solar system. This means that in many cases, they might gradually drift away from their hosts, leading to 
+										exciting cosmic collisions!

+									</header>
+									<p>
+										<a href="https://www.popsci.com/science/hot-jupiter-exoplanet-dying-star/">For Popular Science, I gave some of my thoughts on an unusual planet discovery paper.</a>
+										HD 167768 b is a recently-discovered Hot Jupiter orbiting an evolved giant star, with a projected surface temperature of around 3000 K. Evolved stars
+										massively expand at the end of their lives, which would usually totally engulf any closer-orbiting planets. In this case, the planet's far enough away
+										to survive, but not for long! HD 167768 b only has another hundred million years or so to live before getting eaten by its host star.
