A Houston dad made history as the first father in Texas to hold his premature baby skin-to-skin using a groundbreaking wearable incubator called a ‘Skincubator,’ according to hospital officials.

The device allows critically fragile newborns to remain connected to essential medical equipment while also experiencing skin-to-skin contact.

Dolly Parton is still riding around Ohio for a meaningful cause.

The state’s specialty license plates support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, with $25 from each purchase helping mail 12 free books to one child in the driver’s county.

In related news, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is preparing a memorial exhibit honoring Parton, who was inducted in 2022.

Her signature can already be found on the Hall of Fame floor, with artifacts from her career expected to be added in the coming days.

“The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks, and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us, the storms and blessings of earth. We learned to do what only the student of nature learns, and that was to feel beauty.”

~ Luther Standing Bear, Sicangu-Oglala Lakota, (1868-1939)

My grandma went to nursing school when she was 46, with 4 kids, and became a nurse.

My mom went to medical school at 37, with 3 kids, and still practices primary care in an underserved community.

It's not too late for you.

The U.S. House has approved legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

If signed into law, Massachusetts would never "fall back" again.

Expect more evening daylight in winter, but Boston would also see some sunrises after 8 AM.
