I heard you on the Science Friday podcast with Flora Lichtman and it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed your conversation and the infectious joy of your geological descriptions. A terrific example of very effective and fun science communication.

Hi Sofia,
Thanks for sharing this story!
I read your Science article (www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...), which was very interesting and wonderfully written. I love that the online version contained links to Science publications authored by both archaeologists and Kuikuro members.

Well written and interesting essay. I liked the focus on what is currently happening versus future events. Also, I appreciate you advocating for climate focused science and the intersection with direct human consequences.

Alexa,
Thanks for sharing your article - really interesting read :) I wonder if any communication exists to pair the two species or is it purely randomness? Also, do parent fish teach this behavior to their offspring?

Fortunately there is regional resistance to disinformation. For example, RI has joined the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. This will help ensure vaccination information is available and can be obtained on schedule:

Scheduled vaccination online then CVS in RI notified me the morning I was scheduled that I was not eligible? Called them and straight to voice messages with no opportunity to speak with anyone. Called my doctors office and received it that afternoon without any hassle.
