In 2018, researchers discovered several of these ravioli-shaped eggs close to hydrothermal vents near the Galapágos Islands, suggesting skate moms harnessed the volcanic warmth to incubate their eggs. The new observations point to the same conclusion, Du Preez said.

What is NaNoWriMo?
National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with a first draft. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.
And now, you’re going to be one of them!
- “Do I need something special to write a novel?”
Nope! Not even an idea (though that can help). You just need something to write with, some time set aside, and the ability to power through moments of writerly despair in order to reach new creative heights. - “What if it’s not any good?”
Then you’ll be in illustrious company! Most first drafts aren’t very good. They have moments of greatness, but also moments of, well, not-so-greatness. Think of the first draft as making the clay that you’ll use later to sculpt the story of your dreams. (Also, who gets to decide what “good” means? You do, that’s who!) - “Do I have to publish it?”
If you want to! Some NaNoWriMo writers go on to traditionally publish their novels (including Marissa Meyer, Elizabeth Acevedo, and Emily X. R. Pan). Others self-publish, or share their novels with their friends or family. For many other writers, the act of creating is enough. We call anyone who reaches the 50,000 word-count goal a “winner,” but we believe that anyone who writes with us gets something out of it, no matter how many words they produce. - “I’m not sure where to start!”
Well then, Writer, grab your fuzziest slippers and most literary beverage, because you are in the right place…
