@joshsteinnc.bsky.social You said: “For children ages 6m-17 yrs, parents should talk to their providers about vaccine availability” We tried. Got nowhere. PLEASE do something to help NC minors receive the Covid-19 vac. There is a problem with accessibility for this age range. #ScienceOverPolitics

Headline should read: Rather than discuss (or even mention) the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbandment and extensive FAA firings we're going to tell you your fears are just an "intolerance of uncertainty." Take a deep breath and pretend these things aren't happening. 🙄

The Woman Who Demonstrated the Greenhouse Effect

Eunice Newton Foote showed that carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun in 1856, beating the so-called father of the greenhouse effect by at least three years. Why was she forgotten?

The first day of #blackhistorymonth2025 is the 65th anniversary of the first day four Black NC A&T students sat at the "whites only" lunch counter at Woolworth's and asked for coffee. There had been sit-ins before the "Greensboro Four", but theirs began a wave of change that could not be stopped.

16 years ago, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law.

It helps workers get the pay they deserve by increasing the time they have to report pay discrimination.

As we honor this anniversary, we remain committed to advancing economic justice for all.
