There are lots of great things to say about Dolly Parton – I love pointing to her scientific philanthropy during the pandemic – but my favorite is that she has probably done more for childhood literacy than anyone alive. Happy 80th birthday, Dolly.

Entertainer, childhood literacy advocate, and *scientific philanthropist* Dolly Parton was born #OTD in 1946. Mostly known for singing and songwriting, Dolly's Imagination Library program has distributed over 100 million free books to kids around the world. 🦋 📖 🎶 dollyparton.com/imagination-...

My favorite is that someone tried to bait her into affirming their racism by asking what she thought about Black Lives Matter. She said, "Well, honey, of course they do!"

Dolly is as close as we have to angels walking among us. She's such a beautiful human being.
