Today is World Vegan Day! If you are concerned about climate change, reducing meat and dairy in your diet is one of the most powerful individual actions you can take.

Why I Went Plant-Based (And Why We Should All Eat Less Meat)
Dr. Goodall went plant-based after confronting what that meat represents: pain. Since, she learned more reasons why the work to #eatmeatless is important.

Today is National Coming Out Day!
It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.
This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

This is Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and considered to be the first person to write a computer programme which was for Babbage's Analytical Machine. She died in 1842
In her honour, today is Ada Lovelace Day and is all about encouraging women and girls in mathematics, science and engineering.

What is best in life, reader edition.
All good advice in this thread. Short stories don't work well for me,if I finish one, I don't get the What's next itch. I pick novels of genres/authors I love, with short chapters / chapters with breaks within them,when my attention span is low. So I look forward to the next reading session #booksky
Okay, now, what to read?
Cracking open a novel can be really intimidating if you haven't tried in years. Plus, what if it's bad? That seems like a big investment!
So, start with short stories.
Get an anthology and read one story per session. That's about 20 pages and you're done.

I think for me the most compelling answer for "why fund basic research?" (and the one most relevant to the people doing the work) is that humans are curious and finding stuff out makes us happy and fulfilled. Science is a thing humans like. Life would be more dull and sad if we didn't do it.
