The book that inspired a slump, through no fault of its own, but I had to present this to a group and I was so preoccupied by the presentation I couldn‘t read otherwise! An excellent read about our oceans, the creatures in them, how humans have and are causing distraction, what has been done to reverse the damage, and what we can do moving forward. I loved Scales‘ writing—blending personal stories and data. A real winner from the Women‘s Prize.
I found this picture on Facebook and wrote this #haiku about it.

A terrific look into the personalities around the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953. James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins split a Nobel Prize in 1962. Rosalind Franklin, whose famous stolen x-ray photograph 51 provided a critical key, had died of ovarian cancer. But she was hardly mentioned. She was written out of the story. Later, Watson villainized her. This book attempts to correct the story.
I wobbled a bit in Chapter 2 on Scientific Inference, but otherwise this was a very clear and readable introduction to the subject. One of the best so far in this series.
Finally finished the #ISpyBingoAug @TheAromaofBooks This is an educational book about how electricity came about
There is nothing like a prescription magazine for kis. My girls had one, not this one specifically as I think they are not available anymore, but along the lines of these ones. #ISpyBingoAug @TheAromaofBooks
The view from my back porch last night:
sunset and moonrise

of nature‘s glory. 🌙
