It's time to resurrect the Tom Bihn t-shirt from 2001. There was a unspoken consolation to wearing it then that I need now.

To get out of the house and away from today's headlines, I took myself on a little ride up Gibraltar, overlooking the Santa Barbara Channel. Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands on the horizon, as a hawk lazily catches the updrafts. The world always looks better from up here.

I love the varied answers and especially appreciate those of you who frequent libraries, used book stores, and local booksellers, and avoid Amazon. Interesting that no one orders from the publisher. #books #islandpress #scicomm #naturewriting

I'm so excited to see this book hit the shelves! Anne is delightfully down to earth as she walks her fellow scientists through the ways to make their research count. Her writing is by turns entertaining and enlightening. #scicomm #science #scienceimpact
