S&S News — Holiday Edition!

Dear Friends,

Thank you for subscribing!

This special holiday edition will find some of our writing from December and highlights from 2020.

These past few months have proven to be quite eventful here at Science & Soul — politically, personally, scientifically, and spiritually. It has been a time for renewed hope and growth while acknowledging collective and systemic pain.

The US is now averaging a daily death toll equivalent to the 9/11 terrorist attacks every single day and with no signs of slowing down any time soon — CDC recommendation suggests that we do not gather outside our immediate family units, but if if you do, do not miss Tara Haelle’s checklist for a harm reduction approach.

Do check some of the stories listed below, and let us know your thoughts as we continue to learn and grow. We are grateful to all of you who contributed and consistently wrote excellent pieces — many are listed here in the links below for your holiday reading pleasure. I hope you had a chance to read it, and if you haven’t yet — do give them a look, clap, or comment!

We are thrilled to have your support and hope you will join us again in 2021. Here’s wishing everyone a blessed holiday season — Merry Christmas — May the season bring its brightest and merriest to you and your loved ones.

Happy Reading and Writing!

Until next time,

Sincerely,

Science & Soul Team.
