Are there talking points out there right now for folks who want to call their reps tomorrow morning on the grants freeze? Anything that underscores the urgency of this for the many people in my life who are maybe not terminally online and high information voters?

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I was just reading about quibits and quantum computers. And Google’s Willow. Very strange stuff, which indicates that multiple dimensions are actually real. So, can you make me a small bag than can hold an inexhaustible supply of stuff? Please.

I’ve just finished reading the last Bernie Gunther novel by Philip Kerr and feel bereft. Such a great character and a brilliant series of books - noir thrillers set around WW2 with all the fascinating stories and murky morality that suggests. They get deeper and more complex as the series goes on.

HERE ONE MOMENT, Liane Moriarty: The premise is irresistible--a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins predicting the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. Could be a great Xmas present for that special someone.

A recruiter called me yesterday offering me a fabulous position. Paid relocation, sign on bonus, famous hospital near beaches. Huge salary…. It was in Texas. No thank you. As a woman I would NEVER live or work in Texas. Good luck with your search. publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/analysi...
