I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like:

--Canada's cool, leave them be
--Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus
--We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it
--Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

Many know that President Carter put solar panels on the White House.

Fewer know that he signed PURPA, the law that kick started solar energy for the entire world.

I love, love, love JOSS, a Diamond Open Access journal that embraces open peer review, scientific software, and makes publishing painless through integration with Git/GitHub. I'm so proud that RNMC found a home there! 5/6
