I decided to do something a little different—something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Anybody who knows me knows I can’t stand the Zodiac, but I thought it’d be fun to put a planty twist on these predictions for 2025.

Whether it's climate change or COVID, the scientists who step up and speak out on behalf of our research communities take great risk for a chance at advancing understanding of our work beyond the Ivory Tower.

I want to thank Dr. Lynn Carter, Dr. Peter Hotez, and of course @michaelemann.bsky.social

Zinnia in a community garden.

Did you know that Zinnia is considered the first flower to bloom in space at the International Space Station as part of NASA's "Veggie" plant growth system? Astronaut Scott Kelly shared photos of the blooming zinnia flower in space.

People were PISSED about the vaccine. And I’m talking here in SoCal. PISSED. Religious folks were calling it the mark of the beast. Other folks HATED being told what to do. No amount of facts/logic could sway them. They wanted HIM & everything that comes with him, BACK.
