Australia's wildfires are, in large part, under control. Rain is falling, but with the land unstable, mudslides may follow. And there's a team of scientists working hard to predict them. @rhersher and @mererizzo take us there. #NPRShortWave npr.org/2020/02/20/807728465…

In the midst of bad news, I was happy to tell this story about towns in MN bringing together young & old to ease isolation of rural life. Studies show that social isolation & loneliness have serious impacts on health. With stunning photos by @mererizzo npr.org/sections/health-shot…

Ayanna Howard finally landed her dream job heading a team at NASA. But on her first day in charge, she was mistaken for a secretary. Her story is about the courage it takes to be innovative, and learning that your differences can be your strength. #npr #scicomm #WomenInSTEM
