Our system requires telehealth visits to take place in a local clinic for reimbursement. This means that my rheumatologist is 4 states away, and I see her at the local hospital via zoom. Perhaps yours can make a similar arrangement? The new Medicare rules apply to telehealth at home, not a clinic

There's a certain set of shared values underlying Jeffrey Epstein saying "She's not here for you" to Trump about a woman he was abusing and Trump complaining that Epstein was "stealing" his people.

Wonderful! We are both so lucky to live in places where all this can happen. When I despair of politics, I walk along Lake Superior and listen for wolves and the snuffling of bears.

Democracy and science have collapsed in the US--but the dog still needs to be fed and walked, the garden weeded, the dishes washed. It's hard to wrap my mind around all this.

The attack on science in this Big Brutal Bill is horrific: 56% cut to NSF; 73% cut to grad student fellowships; 39% cut to USGS; 100% cut to ecosystem sciences; etc etc. From today's Guardian.

Not as amazing as Trump’s puppets in Congress, alas

“Legitimate” is not defined.

So frustrating

I'm so sorry

A reindeer in Svalbard, trotting in front of fresh rocks and soil revealed by a retreating glacier and glacial lake

It's Monday! So time for another #printPromptMonday, this time with the prompt #Earth. Here's some raw earth revealed as a glacier retreats in #Svalbard (with a #reindeer trotting in front of the glacer, since reindeer in the Arctic are what I research). #linocut #printsky #climateart

A graphic to show the prompts for print prompt Monday: 7th: Friends 14th: Favourite Piece 21st: Earth 28th: Portrait

Here’s what’s coming up for #printpromptmonday in April!

Yes, You Really Do Need to Salt Pasta Water. Here's Why. Every pasta recipe tells you to salt the water, but how much should you add? When should you add it? Why the heck do you even need to add it? This short guide will answer all your pressing questions a...

"Salting the water slows the gelatinization process—or the swelling of the starch granules in the pasta when they come into contact with heated water—that results in a less sticky, and more al dente pasta." www.thespruceeats.com/how-much-sal...
