“God Set the North Star in the Heavens” the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument

The quote in the title is from Harriet Tubman, and it inspires me on multiple levels. My husband and I took an overnight trip to Maryland's Eastern Shore to view the wintering waterfowl at Blackwater NWR and visit the new Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad site.

PEI Trip, Days 3-4

To begin with Day 1, click here. SATURDAY It stormed Friday night, quite a bit, but we stayed dry in the tent. After splitting a spinach omelet in Bar Harbor, we drove into Acadia National Park. The Visitors Center there seriously needs the consultation of some marketing genius. A huge line of … [Read more...] about PEI Trip, Days 3-4

What I Learned from Mouse Vocalizations

Mouse Vocalizations and the Brain. Sounds like a date night, doesn't it? Last Wednesday Doug and I went to a lecture at Janelia Farm, which is a research institute funded by Howard Hughes money. Picture a lot of smart people doing laboratory research about various brain-related topics. Every … [Read more...] about What I Learned from Mouse Vocalizations
