Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine HeymansA splendid cold walk to Fiddlers Gill to see the fab but rusting Victorian #Braidwood Telescope! Once part of the now long-gone Lanark Observatory, its optics are safe at the Lanark Museum. Sadly I see no hope in restoring this beauty tho, that's been long-abandoned in this field βΉοΈ #histsci ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
Silver DoryTelopea mongaensis (Monga waratah) in Monga National Park, Monga, NSW ... #Monga ;)
I really like this waratah as a garden plant but rarely see it available in nurseries. It is used in some modern hybrids to give the 'classic' NSW waratah (T. speciosissima) a bit more cold tolerance with a compact/bushy habit.

There's been another development in the long, winding saga of the Kelley / Braidwood v. Becerra federal lawsuit, which seeks to strike down the Affordable Care Act's preventative services provisions requiring health insurance providers to cover a long list of preventative healthcare services at no out of pocket cost to enrollees. For the full backstory behind this case (and why a plaintiff win against the government here would be far more devastating than "just" the specific provisions being struck down), read my prior post (with many updates) on the case. The most recent development came on March 30th, 2023: Judge Reed O'Connor STRIKES DOWN a major provision of the Affordable Care Act requiring insurers to cover a vast amount of preventive care cost-free (contraception, cancer screening, PrEP, a ton of pregnancy-related care).
