Lol what?! ""The Magic School Bus," "3-2-1 Contact," "Reading Rainbow," "Zoom" and "Bill Nye the Science Guy" were just a few of the early NSF-funded shows that took an innovative approach to bringing science to life on the small screen. " www.nsf.gov/science-matt...

I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.

Each time I talk with AT&T (about anything - but in particular service cancelation) I wonder if I am already in the bad place.

My lab is planning to organize (over the summer) and send physical thank you letter/cards to authors of (some of) our faviorate papers. We think it is a good idea. And would perhaps spark some joy! 📝📮📤

To LA County wildfire survivors: If you get a “not approved” letter from FEMA, don’t stop there – it doesn’t mean you’re out of options. FEMA might just need more info, like insurance details or proof of residence. Need help? Call 800-621-3362 or visit fema.gov/drc
