(41:40) - What has Science done for ME, lately?
What has Science done for ME, lately?
"Science underlies everything.  Beyond the amazing new discoveries, there are the basics of life.  I'm grateful that science has brought such amazing life to this beautiful rock.  I'm grateful for my existence.  I'm grateful for the hemispheres of my brain that bring me creativity and logic.  I'm grateful for my family of humans and dogs.  I'm grateful for the food that nature provides right in my back yard, and I'm grateful for its delicious nutrition.  I'm grateful for the amazing herbs and spices and teas and coffee beans that make each morning smell and taste amazing and for the energy that provides for my body.  What has science done for me lately?  While art is how I recognize it, science is the very reason for me and all I hold dear.
Thank you for all you do.  I've been listening since 2006.
--MiLady Carol"
