I am beside myself over this decision. This decision, in a state with the highest population of vulnerable elderly patients, is going to kill untold numbers of people over time.

Nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries that a new study has identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — signaling enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability.

Federal kindergarten vaccination data shows national rates for four major vaccines, which had held steady before the COVID-19 pandemic, have fallen significantly since.

Carl Sagan was my hero growing up. Contact, his only work of fiction, challenged the way I thought about our world.
I like to watch the opening scene from the movie occasionally to remind me how precious each of us are, in spite of the enormity of our universe.
