Assessment – Fall 2015: Religion’s Role in Saving the World

Posted on September 22, 2015 by climatechangefork

I missed my usual summer assessment this year. My main excuse is that it was scheduled for the first two weeks of July, when I was out in China. As it stands, since my last assessment (April 21st, 2015), I … Continue reading →

Fortissimo

Posted on June 23, 2015 by climatechangefork

For those of us who aren’t fluent in music or Italian, fortissimo means “very loud —used especially as a direction in music.” My own kind of scientific fortissimo came unexpectedly, but quite pleasantly, in the last few weeks. It started … Continue reading →
