@whatchidid Submerge both bowls (in a vacuum chamber) until max volume of water is stuck between them, then freeze. The water will expand and push them apart.

@kls_natureED @GreecePhoenix @GreeceCentral Yes! Fourth indoor harvest of the year.

@SmithAndMyers @HOBCleveland Such a fun night in Rochester! Thanks for an awesome show!

Wearing a mask is a simple way to reduce the spread. It's not about being air tight, it's about retaining your droplets. I'll wear a mask to keep my droplets off of you. Will you please wear a mask to keep your droplets off of me? We will only get through this together.

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Congrats!

Gloomy outside, but radiant inside!

Started today with a run and some weight training at home. It felt SO GOOD to get outside.

The plants have been rescued, and the Tower Garden can take care of itself. We WILL have second generation Phoenix hot peppers and lettuce!

Happy December Solstice to all life forms on Earth.

The Northern Hemisphere's longest night. The Southern Hemisphere's longest day.
And for the equator, caught between, a day like any other.
