  • My favorite podcast

    I started following Ayana Johnson shortly after the Trump administration started deleting scientific data from Federal websites and trying to erase science. Ayana was busying herself, collecting and archiving that data as quickly as she could, while I sat at home and cried in my Beer. These are the leaders we need right now. These are the voices we need to listen to. Subscribe rate and review now!!!!
