In the 1990s, Coupland in his GenX defining book suggested that our legacy might be to tidy things up and make the world slightly better. No profound new initiatives, just fixing up the things we have and making things better generally.
I fear we've moved the needle in the wrong direction.

lol, for real? Back when every restaurant used it as a garnish, I was taught it was to cure bad breath. But it's for other smells (too?)?

Agreed. Mostly. I was so much more anxious about everything then. It's nice to have become someone close to what I was hoping for. Though I do miss the unlimited potential. And the physical energy.

A detailed digital composite image based on the 1947 historical photograph of geneticist Barbara McClintock. McClintock, with her characteristic short hair and round glasses, is seated at a microscope, using tweezers in a Petri dish. While based on the original photo distributed for her AAUW award, this image presents a significantly expanded and fictionalized laboratory environment. The simple wooden workbench is now densely populated with a vast, colorized collection of complex glassware, numerous amber-colored reagent bottles, intricate distillation columns, and botanical specimens relevant to maize cytogenetics, creating a rich, illustrative narrative of her "jumping gene" research context that was not present in the original photo. The expanded background shows complex vintage laboratory cabinetry. This image explicitly states it is a composite: a digital recreation where Seriously Scientific has taken the historical figure and placed them into an augmented, complex fictionalized environment. Based on original source from Smithsonian Institution Archives. Digital composite by Seriously Scientific.

Remembering Barbara McClintock on International Women's Day!
She discovered that genes aren't static, they can actually "jump" around on a chromosome.

Her discovery of transposons ("jumping genes") fundamentally changed how we understand evolution and the complexity of DNA! 🧬🌽

This is possibly the most disastrous thing Trump has tweeted. The demand for “unconditional surrender” from a country we are not yet at war with locks US policy in an unachievable dead end. I have FOUR chapters of my book devoted to that phase and how it prolonged WWII in Germany and Japan.
