Rachel Carson -- born today in 1907 -- is such a source of inspiration! "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” ― from The Sense of Wonder https://t.co/2fBGloNBtK #WomenInScience#environment#courage
We’re proud to be collaborating on a project that reimagines the original @TheCrashCourse biology series. In this article, @hankgreen discusses how this collaboration will deliver value for both students and teachers for years to come. https://t.co/isRqb3qTKo
Tomorrow, I start a journey across the Great Smoky Mountains, ending with a celebration of #OurCommonNature in Knoxville. Here’s "Appalachia Waltz" with Edgar Meyer, performed in the Smokies last year. https://t.co/J4SNHfkZk6
