Today’s run was definitely more pleasant than yesterday, but much colder! 🥶

Still, it was great to get a bit of sun and see all of the grebes on the lake. ☀️

✊We who communicate science to the public: we'll need to work harder & more creatively than before.
Not just preach to those who already treasure science & scholarship. But reach those audiences who don't know us, doubt us, question us.
Let's get going.
