When hundreds of NIH grants are revoked, what is lost? Not just knowledge and cures. Human capital as well. Rigorous peer review, thousands of person-hours of effort, and degradation of a world class scientific process. A deep deep dive: open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

I performed at New Folk last year. It was an amazing experience. If you're a songwriter, consider applying. You never know.

Sad to hear about #BobUecker passing away. I met him once, interviewing him in a clubhouse. Having seen him on TV, I was surprised that he was not funny. I saw his serious side when I lived in WI. He was a Brewers broadcaster. As he said to end the last game at County Stadium, "Goodnight everybody."

Would you eat this mango.... ... knowing... ... that it has been repeatedly lasered as part of a science experiment? Asking for a friend. 🤔

This was a great interview with my friend, neighbor, and fellow sensitive new age guy songwriter Craig Bickhardt. In this episode, he discusses how he created "Crazy Nightingale," his dark, beautiful meditation on the poet Dylan Thomas.
