Unfortunate to see yet another offshore spill impacting our too too fragile ocean ecosystems. Support reforms to offshore drilling! cnn.com/2021/10/03/us/califo… @gulfresearch @MSALSeaGrant gulfseagrant.org/oilspillout… @ESMaungDouglass @TheCourtesyGirl

This much embattled Virginia pine came home with us from a local farm ravaged by Hurricane Sally. This bedraggled tree survived against all odds, so we chose a name that evoked similar fortitude. Raised in science, supported by community. Meet Fauci! #Fauci @FauciFan @rfbond007

Wear those masks y’all!! This is a demonstration about bacterial spread via respiratory droplets (not viruses). 1) masks block droplets 2) distancing works. @richdavisphd @rfbond007 #MaskUp #SpitBlockers #COVID
It's amazing how much good one little mask can do! Check out how a normal, everyday mask keeps respiratory droplets from spreading outside your body, potentially sharing viruses.
