Whether it's Lucy or Luzia, women appear to be a prominent part of the archaeological record...I liiike. This research here must be restarted, so we may find out exactly who this pioneering woman was! https://t.co/Yox1CiSgZS

Since we are living in a time period and a country where anti-intellectualism and anti-scientific sentiment is the order of the day, and some people even double-down with being anti the two, this book would have to be at the top of my reading list. Bravo! https://t.co/LvJvWBVPv4

Shit...Damn...This is astounding. Stevie Wonder's version of this classic goes far beyond just being a fitting tribute to the old master, Still-Bill himself. It takes human consciousness beyond earth's atmosphere. https://t.co/bBhDVE877e

I remember I had a conversation in a book store once with a woman, and she told me that I just simply believe what MD's tell me because I just trust in the fact that they are saying something. I told her no--I trust what they are saying for this reason, https://t.co/RpkHomUbtp
Let's go behind the scenes of how new scientific discoveries get checked over before getting into journals and then news stories. It's called peer review—a checkpoint where anonymous experts scrutinize a study to ✔️ Spot mistakes ✔️ Question assumptions ✔️ Push for revisions

It looks like art in the Arabian Desert roughly 12,000 ya was done for more than just art sake for Homo sapiens of that time. Never underestimate the importance of art for the marking of cultural identity, time, space, & directions. https://t.co/MnTwoEQ309

Bravo! I could not agree more. That's why I say science is my wife, and art is my mistress. And I love them both madly. https://t.co/T01vUcggp1

If there was anyone who could make that soul, jazz sound have a sophisticated island touch, that was the incomparable Jon Lucien. Singer, songwriter, & a true master of a unique, jazz sound, no one is better. https://t.co/Fop96FkjQp
