How Scientists Tracked Down a Mass Killer of Salmon youtu.be/Hyg9T8HLi2k via @YouTube #salmon #pollution #fishkill #WashintonState

During my #visitsitka trip in 2003, I was fascinated by the #alaskaraptorcenter and how the specialists are able to rehabilitate predatory birds. For my next #Sitka trip, I want to see #fortressofthebear and how they provide homes for orphaned bears.

While reporting for @TeenVogue on the blockades at #FairyCreek I asked why media access was being restricted and was told by an officer to be silent or I’m “gone.” #PressFreedom @caj @NPAC_APPC @pressfreedom

Such a cool idea to clean the rivers of plastics before they can pollute the ocean. There are three other Interceptors already working on this problem. #ocean #oceancleanup #plastic #river #riverpollution @TheOceanCleanup⁩ ⁦@BoyanSlatyoutu.be/GSqme8P0ZNI

My wife, Vicki, and I were out taking water samples yesterday and this is what our site looks like under a blanket of snow.

Wow… just watched South Dakota nurse @JodiDoering on CNN describe her dying patients denying the existence of COVID… claiming they’re sick with the flu, pneumonia or lung cancer but not COVID cuz it isn’t real. Thank you Jodi and all frontline nurses… you are true heroes!! ♥️
A South Dakota ER nurse @JodiDoering says her Covid-19 patients often “don’t want to believe that Covid is real.” “Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening. It’s not real.’ And when they should be... Facetiming their families, they’re filled with anger and hatred.”
