Gearing back up again

The last couple of weeks have been really difficult for all of us. This worldwide pandemic is growing, and country after country is starting to wake up to the reality of what we're facing. 

I'm not going to lie, I had a rough time dealing with it emotionally. It felt like anxiety, but a better description is grief. Grief for the people who are going to have their lives changed dramatically in the coming months. There will be deaths and financial hardship, and the next few months are going to be even harder than what we already went through - by orders of magnitude.

And yet, I feel hope. Finally, the science-based approach of reality is starting to have an impact. I see the US and other countries which were slow to respond are starting to catch up. I see testing rates grow faster than infection rates. I see innovation and collaboration everywhere as the entire world works together to solve this crisis. And I know that over the next 12-18 months a vaccine will roll out and this crisis will go into our rearview mirror.

We will solve this. Things will get better.

Until then, I'm going to go back to work, sharing my curiosity and wonder about the Universe. I feel like I want to communicate and share again. The words are flowing again. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Your support allows me to keep my team working through this crisis too. I promise, I'm spending every penny of Patreon support to keep money flowing to my team. To Matt, Evan, Nancy, Chad, Brian, Paul, David and more if I can.

In case you missed them, I did three hour-long interviews over the last few weeks. They're fascinating, and I hope you enjoy them:
