In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe.
Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

I thought science communication was all about slides and stats.
Turns out, it’s about connection.
Writing publicly helped me build trust, land collaborations, and find purpose.
You don’t need a platform
just a message and the guts to share it.

What makes Pluto so fascinating, even without planet status? 🔭🪐🧪

How does our biochemistry differ from that of Neanderthals & Denisovans—our closest extinct cousins—& how did that affect our success? One piece of the puzzle could be an enzyme called ADSL; a change in just 1 amino acid made a version of ADSL unique to Homo sapiens, & may have shaped our behavior 🧪
Enzyme unique to modern humans may have given us an evolutionary edge, research finds | CNN
A new study suggests an enzyme unique to Homo sapiens may have made us more competitive water seekers than our closest extinct relatives.

2000 Meters to Andriivka, currently on at Film Forum, is one of the most incredible war documentaries I’ve ever seen. You might read “Ukrainians advanced against Russian lines” but this film shows you, viscerally, what that really means to the soldiers on the ground. A must-see.

My son Griffin knew that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is one of my all-time favorite comedies & drew this for my birthday. The likenesses of Fred Gwynne & Joe E. Ross are absolute perfection & he even included the theme song! I treasure it as one of my most prized possessions.
