I saw Rainbow Eucalyptus in Hawaii, they’re incredible to see in person. Just one of the many reasons Hawaii is such an amazing place!

Rainbow Eucalyptus trees (Eucalyptus deglupta) shed their bark at different rates, freshly revealed patches will reveal a bright green color, which then darkens to give orange, maroon, and blue colors [read more: buff.ly/304xLEU] [📷 Arnie Rose: buff.ly/2tGgYfw]

This is a great move, Youk was fantastic in the booth last year with insightful in-game perspectives combined with entertaining commentary that kept the booth light and enjoyable. Youk & @MikeMonaco_ had particularly good chemistry

Images from Mauna Loa eruption have been incredible, and now the stat of 2113 degrees F! Crazy!

Geochemical results from first 48 hours of Mauna Loa eruption: > glassy near vent > small crystals of plagioclase and olivine at flow front as lava cools > 6-6.8% MgO > eruption temp 1156 C (2113 F) > similar to past lava compositions > no leftover lava from 1984 is apparent

After fighting tooth and nail for a vaccine appointment last week I finally got one scheduled for tomorrow. One and done shot with J&J. This morning the appointment was cancelled. Now I’m back to square one ☹️


This was the day it seemed that COVID got real and everything changed. I went to work the next Monday, and that was the last time I’ve been back to my office for work

March 11, 2020...Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson announce they have covid 19. The NBA shuts down mid-game. The WHO declares a pandemic. My husband and I went to dinner for our anniversary and it felt sort of wrong. Where were you?



Just finished watching "The Investigation." It's a tragic and gripping true story and well-made series. I hope that Kim Wall's legacy continues to inspire journalists iwmf.org/programs/kim-w…

Incredible story and thread here, save the turtles!

My mom is retired, & she spends her winters volunteering at a sea turtle rescue center in south Texas. The cold snap is stunning the local turtles & they’re doing a lot of rescues. She sent me this photo today of the back of her Subaru. It’s *literally* turtles all the way down.
