Nobody gets out of here alive…
It’s not a threat…
Just the cards you have been dealt by being alive…
That one day,
you will shuffle off this mortal coil…
And in the meantime…
Everything.
Everything you see, hear, smell, taste and touch…
This is the world.
And yet,
the world is much bigger still than this…
For there is knowledge.
Knowledge that can take us far beyond see, hear, smell, taste and touch…
Knowledge that can fill our everything with just about anything
From the big bang to the microbial muck…
From genomic manipulations to rovers on mars…
From basic chemistry to advanced theories on how gravity works
Knowledge is to be found everywhere
And we humans are adept as can be at it.
And every new bit of knowledge that we have…
Gives our world, our life, our everything…

This Week in What Has Science Done for me Lately?!?
“Dear Dr. Kiki, Justin, and Blair,
I live in Oklahoma City, where science struggles for respect. But we also have a lot of
wildlife out here, and that’s where science does so much for me. I am a pollinator gardener, and, thanks to countless hard-working entomologists and botanists, I have an x-ray view into the world of the fascinating insects that populate my gardens.
