A tremendous overview of the key scientific topics of life in the universe despite some of the theoretical explanations not really being suitable for the general reader.

Got some reading in while at the salon today. Almost done with this #readharder book. Some of these stories have been fantastic! There‘s one about the wolves of Isle Royale which was fascinating. One about the first spider in space, which was excellent. Some of them were a bit harder to enjoy; one talked about an animal testing lab which my vegan heart did not do well with. I also didn‘t realize my hair is the same color as my fire case. 😂

Someone might have a kidney stone (yippee), so I got the pleasure of having an abdominal CT scan today! At least there were nice quiet spots to read between getting poked and prodded. Getting close to the end of this #readharder2022 book!

LiteraryinPA Oh no! I hope they figure out what‘s wrong and you feel better soon! 2y

Okay, so I'm a little behind in my reading.

Well, my favorite article was about the reintroduction of mammoths and other extinct creatures. I have very mixed feelings about this desire on the part of some scientists. It was a good article that also had a lot of information about elephant behavior. Elephants who are actually in the process of going extinct.

Other than this article though, I'm just not convinced this collection was the “best“ of 2018. 😕
