Yes! Poor sweet things! Killing turkeys in remembrance of the annihilation of the indigenous people of this landmass that we call North America is tragically sad.

Excellent! Thank you! I will feature these in the 100-level weather and climate courses that I teach! Perfect!

Phenomenal! And to think what would lie in store for the stratosphere!

Welcome Jay! Looking forward to your water-related insights!

“Step forward, advocate, and act”. Absolutely, Dr. Fortner, and there are many, many of us here that can!!

Fantastic! Otters are indeed lovely but this little friend is just as beautiful and equal in playful character!

Such an important point, Dr. Jones! I’m hoping to copy and paste your post so the students in the Earth science classes, who are familiar with your work from your book, The Big Ones, can make the connections as we talk about earthquake science this fall!

Wow! Phenomenal graphic! Thanks for the post!
