I love mountains, traveling, taking in the natural and human created beauty around the world. I love science, rational debates; I think more than ever we need empathy, morality, honesty, education and awareness; we need leaders to embody these qualities!

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

One striking thing to think about is that he daily posts things that would get you fired from any other job if you posted them, even on a personal account.
unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

I am fascinated by tubeworms and take ridiculous quantities of photos of them. These seasonally appropriate Christmas tree worms retract into their tubes quickly at the slightest disturbance so it's good practice to hover motionless while getting the shot. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans #coralreef

We often treat measles immunity as a solved problem: "Childhood vaccination = lifelong protection"
Might be a lazy assumption.
A new Lancet study shows a slow, steady decline in measles antibody levels over the years.
Does our “once in childhood is enough” thinking still fit the evidence?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
