week 6 minute papers

Hi Andrew,

Here is a summary of the week 6 minute papers. There were a lot of comments on being interested, scared, or both about asteroid impacts. These quotes summarize the papers pretty well:

"both super interesting and extremely terrifying"
"chixalub crater and its effects was one of the most interesting things we have discussed"

and one person said it was

"one of the scariest, most depressing classes yet"

Here is a tally of key ideas that came up:
