Thank you for your work to plan the Rosie the Riveter Nat'l Historical Park that memorializes the role of women here at home during WWII & for becoming a park ranger at age 85. We may not have known you otherwise & that would've been a loss for us all.

Goodnight & godspeed, Betty Reid Soskin🕯️

It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻

Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors!

Only one person in history has won both Physics & Chemistry Nobels. Her name was Marie Curie. Her discoveries of polonium and radium transformed science and medicine forever.

Jane Goodall, who died Wednesday at 91, was not just a pioneering scientist, but also an expert at wielding the power of fame, Michelle Nijhuis writes.

Before her death, Jane Goodall left us all with a compelling message from her last interviews: While we’re the most 'intellectual animals' to ever walk the planet, "we’re not intelligent."

“Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

From our friends at @vox.com:
Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.

She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.

Help keep migrating birds safe tonight. Nearly 17 million birds will be passing through the PNW. The Bird Alliance of Oregon says turning lights out from dusk to dawn will help migrating birds stay on course and keep them happy and healthy. 🚫💡🐦

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.

Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.

That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

From the moment I made my blue-sky account, I told my self no politics- only science. I tried! But science is and has been on the chopping block with this f-ing administration.

RFK Jr. must resign. The CDC must remain independent of politics. Full stop.
