We always try to have something from the garden for Xmas lunch. This year we're going with these "greasy grits" beans. We ate them green for three weeks in the summer & then kept the rest for winter. They were super productive & dried very nicely. We'll have plenty left to plant next spring. 🌱

How much interaction did the Romans have with Ancient India? The discovery of graves for pet monkeys on the Egyptian coast suggest that some Romans, including soldiers, likely kept exotic pets in their households.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
