Hokies, it’s time to make a difference! Join me in supporting @globalchangevt this #VTGivingDay. One of the best quotes that resonated with me as an environmental scientist was, “If we ignore the environment, it will go away.” Donate today and share!

FALSE. They're either ignorant of how USAID spends money, or willfully lying about it. Or...
Anyway, caffeinate and read on.

Twitter's scientific community dying, but...
If anybody has some extra rock samples (structural geology) they'd be willing to share, dm me please! I'd pay to ship them to me. Yeah, I have almost no rocks to show in this class --- nothing handed down by former prof of the course
