@oldenoughtosay This isn't exactly what you asking about, but your question reminded me of this Atlantic Monthly magazine story: https://t.co/Tc354BNjET

[Coral Resilience Lab @CoralResilience]

Last week we prepared over 4,000 resilient coral fragments for #RestoreWithResilience in Kāne‘ohe Bay! These fragments came from corals of opportunity (those found in Kāne‘ohe Bay that were detached from the reef and would likely have otherwise died). (1/3)

I learned this tidbit about Montaigne's essays from @nijhuism who made me love the essay form, especially science essays

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

It was Montaigne who popularised the essay genre. He viewed his chapters as attempts to understand a topic https://t.co/9DnxxFv2oA

@EyaSpectre And I say this as someone who has read my fair share of trashy paperbacks, but holy COW.

@EyaSpectre Also, yay for getting boosted!

Loved learning this Sesame Street history (a bit after my time!) but I loved even more that it was written by my colleague and fellow @UCSC_SciCom alum @marisfessenden
