Today's featured blog post is all about how I tried to explain the season to Matilda, over 4 years ago. I'm pretty sure she's got it now. Maybe I should try this with Nathaniel. matildaslab.wordpress.com/2021/11/24/e... #scicomm

If unchecked, groups of humans can drift out of touch with reality. The most effective groups recognise those individuals who prevent us from drifting further down that path. Fingers crossed, hey. www.eurekalert.org/news-release... #sciencenews
