If you cannot tell, you should consult your physician.

The Artemis II Mission was also a hopeful event because everyone was competent, everything was based in taking science forward and it wasn’t funded by a cartoon villain billionaire and we aren’t used to seeing that kind of national event from America anymore.
The Sierra Nevada mountains were commonly referred to as "the Sierras" in the 1960s, a popular colloquialism that persisted despite the proper Spanish name being Sierra Nevada (meaning "snowy range"). Many of us who grew up in California during the 1960s and 70s still use the plural "Sierras".

I would be glad to send you a sample. Would a dried leaf sample work? Are you extracting DNA? Does Spain require you to have an import permit?
The Chinese government’s investment in science comes in sharp contrast to US President Donald Trump’s administration, which has tried to cut science spending since Trump took office in early 2025. Many of those proposed cuts have so far been rejected by Congress. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Thanks for continuing to speak out Hillary. You are right, again.
