I had a really interesting interview with Dr. Dana Kolsky. Between claims by animal researchers and animal advocates, critical issues for human health and scientific progress go mostly unspoken. Dana asked brilliant questions. Here's the podcast.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Tragic…
some story behind the numbers:
In just a few days, close to 300 USAID teammates let go.
They represent the best in US civilian capacity, responding to disasters&conflicts - many served in hardship posts, to save lives.
While USAID may be changed forever,
their spirit remains resolute.
