Good morning, I was going to write an open blog filled with silly pictures and random cartoons because, frankly, my brain is broken. But then I stumbled on this:

So, like a good Scout Parent, after schlepping to the hospital to get rid of my pump Friday afternoon, I made sure I stayed active until the troop was ready to depart, in an effort to avoid my Friday pm crash. With the help of Five-Hour Energy, it worked!

In the focus on the election, there are some important science stories that I thought I would look at today. Even as the election becomes a memory, many Americans are still facing the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This disaster has focused much attention on the issue of global climate change which was seldom discussed during the campaign season
