I’m a science writer. That’s the moon, not the sun, in my profile pic. How cool does it look?!? My views are my own and do not represent anyone else’s.

Do you live in Massachusetts and use heating oil in your home? Have you had any struggles getting your tank refilled in the last two weeks? Given recent price spikes, are you worried about the cost of refilling your tank right now? Please reach out to reporter Miriam Wasser at mrwasser@bu.edu.

In archaeology and paleontology (yes, they’re different! I know they’re different! I am not equating them! It’s just that I’ve done both!), it’s always about the one thing that doesn’t quite look like everything around it. And I love it. 🦖 🦴 💀

Hey, anyone know a culinary historian? I’m wondering what people who relied on chicken eggs used for baking when chickens went into their low-light, no-eggs period in winter. Did they use a method of preservation like water-glassing? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

You’ve also just summed up what it’s like to move to a small town in your 40s where most of the people your age have known each other since kindergarten. PS-the good news is: I DID make some friends! And like, good ones! 😍

Super fun when it happens right as you’re meeting someone. Stick your hand out, go, “Hi, I’m…” and then whirl away in a coughing fit, leaving them standing there wondering what on earth just happened (and also, what is your name).

The Open Platform | SeerAI Explore HIFLD and other public datasets in a clean, real-time map. Toggle layers, focus an AOI, and move fast.

The HIFLD data portal (home to countless valuable geospatial datasets) has been shut down, but these guys have archived the whole thing and made layers available in a web viewer or GIS web service: www.seer.ai/the-open-pla...

Too much to pack, not enough hugs: A Kenyan man's last 48 hours in America Samuel Kangethe has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, but an unresolved immigration case has made him deportable. He's decided to return to Kenya, leaving his wife and three children behind.

mRNA cancer vaccines teach the immune system to spot cancer.  The mRNA gives instructions to make tumor proteins, which help train T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells-even ones the body normally overlooks.
