Hello again Science Fans!
I’ve been traveling a lot these past few months. It always brings me a fresh perspective, seeing other parts of the US and the world.

Greetings Science Based Readers,
It has only been 127 days and it seems like 2 years of science under attack (democracy too), and reason as well as many other topics that I'll steer clear of here! (a quick side note: try searching for "reason under attack"). I encourage you to read "
