Today's #goodnews has people stepping up to take care of our national parks and its staff during the shutdown.

From picking up trash in the Rocky Mountains to expanding food banks in the Grand Canyon area to help feed those in need, people are making a difference. That's what we like to see. 😊

This is figure 5, which shows processability and formability of BM-plastics for diverse products.

Today's #goodnews is these adorable fossa pups born in a zoo in England. Until today, we'd never even heard of these cat-like animals that are as cute as us pups!

There's less than 2,500 of them in the wild, which is why the Chester Zoo is so excited about their 4 pups. 😊
