With a PhD in dolphin genetics, Howard Gray’s zoology background was a great asset while illustrating our Ecosystem Food Systems series. @hwigray sat down with us and answered a few questions about his art process: https://t.co/AieuDnCWZF #illustratorinterview

The inspiration for a story often begins small. "My Room Is a Zoo!" sprouted from a single line that got stuck in my head and made me curious: "Armadillo takes my pillow. . . ." Illus. Simona Ceccarelli (@smceccarelli), pub. Amicus (@amicus_publishing). Amazon preorder now.

@mhagarty1 @smceccarelli @amicuspub You are wonderful, Maura! Thank you. It is a thrill. And the illustrator is marvelous. I look forward to our next get-together. Meanwhile, be well!

The story of #affiliation and #disaffiliation among #youngpeople in #religion has less to do with #belief than it does with #trust. Young people don't trust institutions. Spoiler alert: Their parents don't either. The research we're doing @WeAreSpringtide offers new models.

Zitkála-Šá, born #onthisday in 1876, was a Yankton Dakota Sioux writer, translator, and activist. Her translations and anthologies were among the first to bring traditional Indigenous stories to a widespread English-language readership. https://t.co/9CLAzFW01B
