Forgot to mention Mary - that the most important "aha" moment for me when boning up on all things science years ago was climate change. That literally set my hair on fire. Because I knew it to be true - the evidence even decades ago was irrefutable. And now - well we are on our way aren't we. To me, nothing else matters nearly as much - I am left wondering what to tell my kids - where to move, how to prepare. It's our planet for gods sake. And look who the deniers are. Hyper-religious Christians, self-serving industrialists, heads of so many corporations, other 1%'ers who see their fortunes put at risk, and of course the Republicans who represent them all. And look who don't care or don't know to care - poorly educated and/or willingly ignorant people with their collective heads in the sand, some being gaslighted to not trust the scientific world. WTF? I was one of those years ago. No more.
