Without a lab, access to research libraries/university facilities, entomologist Charles Henry Turner (1867–1923) died with a personal library of 1,000+ books, having published 50+ scientific papers; he revolutionized our knowledge of ants (Earth’s most abundant animal); he was 1st to prove insects can hear & distinguish pitch, also 1st scientist to achieve Pavlovian bug conditioning, training moths to beat their wings when he whistled #BlackHistoryIsHistory h/t @mariapopova

So salesforce is laying off 10%T of it's workforce today and I'm hearing that vimeo is doing 11% so the layoff waves continue.

Henrietta Lacks is about to get recognition despite the fact that it comes after decades of silence. Her sacrifice wasn’t voluntary but the entire world owes her regardless.
