That was me earlier this week...my husband and I hosted a BBQ dinner fundraiser for our church. Hopefully you have some yummy leftovers to sustain you while you recover. We ate leftovers for 3 days. πŸ˜‚

Yes...they come in a variety of colors, including red, and white patch behind the head can form a rough "m" shape, too.

Today is 🐞 day in MA. They are swarming and looking for places to over winter. Get ready for the end of warm weather folks!

Let’s make a planet in which nobody is starving. Let’s make a planet in which men and women have equal access to power. Let us make a planet in which no ethnic group has it over another ethnic group. Let’s have a planet in which science and engineering is used for the benefit of everybody on the planet. And my personal idiosyncrasy, let’s have a world in which we go to other worlds.    

~ Carl Sagan

The CDC is being gutted. Experts are being pushed out. Science - and people’s HEALTH - is under attack.

We can’t do this alone. We need voices, bodies, solidarity.

πŸ“Please come out Tuesday to support. Stand with us to #SaveCDC

Because when public health falls, we all feel it.

Earlier, I made a post about the effects of federal cuts to NOAA/NWS & took a lot of heat for it.
Out of an abundance of caution, I deleted the post.
And yet here we are - watching this meteorologist confirming what I said:

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this πŸ€” Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

They have a duty to stay present. It would be better to stay and flash a copy of the contitution evertime he mentions something he did not supported by it. Or hold up a card that says "lie" or "fact check" every time a bogus claim is made.

Dr. Collins noted that when he was recruited to the institutes, and through many of the years that followed, β€œinvestment in medical research was seen as a high priority and a nonpolitical bipartisan effort β€” saving countless lives, relieving human suffering and contributing substantially to the U.S. economy.”

β€œN.I.H. is the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world,” he wrote. β€œIt is the main piston of a biomedical discovery engine that is the envy of the globe. Yet it is not a household name. It should be.”

He went on: β€œWhen you hear about patients surviving stage 4 cancer because of immunotherapy, that was based on N.I.H. research over many decades. When you hear about sickle-cell disease being cured because of CRISPR gene editing, that was built on many years of research supported by N.I.H.”
