Did you know? In the early 20th century, there were concerns that wild turkeys would go extinct due to overhunting. Some breeders tried to raise wild turkeys on farms and release them in the wild but that didn’t work. The farm-raised turkeys didn’t know what to do in the wild. /1

Research shows that volunteering can be helpful for retirees’ health and well-being. For @motherjones.com, I spoke to four retirees about how they’re giving back to their communities to resist current happenings. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Back from a very successful trip to the IOM speaking with locals and visiting archives to piece together historical accounts of the herring fishery. We stumbled across these beautiful title page illustrations of marine biological station reports based on Puffin island in the late 1800s
