Hello again Science fans!

Like me, most of you are probably preparing for Thanksgiving, that annual tradition of food, football and family. I’ve got my turkey and the ingredients for some sides, and am only short cranberry sauce. The deli counter in my local market hasn’t got theirs out yet.

Hello Fans of Science, Reason, and Critical Thinking,

Well a lot of soul searching has been going on around the country, if not the planet, since Tue night or Wed morning. I would only like to say that the most reliable source of information for making many decisions these days is SCIENCE and REASON. I hope that we can all rally to support it whenever the opportunity or necessity arises. If or when you reach out to any leaders in the community, local, national, or international, I hope that you will look to science, reason, and critical thinking. to inform all concerned. There is much work to be done and our support is essential. That includes gathering reliable information to inform ourselves in what we do and support.
