Free Speech: The Demise of Democracy? I’m concerned that, without careful consideration, free speech could inadvertently destroy democracy. When 24/7 ratings-driven media prioritizes sensationalism over truth to boost viewership and profit, it fails to serve the public’s best interest. National reporting trickles down information in scripted texts, propagating biased information to the masses. Most sensible … Continue reading The Impact of Sensationalism: Is Free Speech Undermining Democracy?

We have … Continue reading The Anthropocene, Climate Change, and God will fix it?
Prayer and Academia
As a science educator, I cannot and must not allow religion to dilute or conflict with the science I teach.

My job is to help my students, regardless of their own beliefs, to … Continue reading Prayer and Academia

Reproductive Rights: We must reframe the issue
Reproductive Rights: We must reframe the issue Abortion should not be the primary issue in a debate concerning th “The debate should not be about the ability to end a pregnancy. The debate should be razor focused on the right to privacy in making reproductive choices. Abortion is a small part of a much larger picture of personal autonomy and decisions based on medical need.” C.Dianne Phillips, 11/11/2011
For “One Issue Voters…”
For all the "one issue" voters, If you can't sustain life on this planet, your "one issue" is moot. If there's no air to breathe? No clean water to drink? No crops? If the planet is unlivable, what else truly matters? If you are pro-life, you must vote to preserve all human life. We must … Continue reading For “One Issue Voters…”

2019 update…
This granny did not invent the soup or the stew, but I grew up in a home where the women all knew the benefits and utility of keeping a pot of stew or soup warming on the stove.
Learning from my own grandmother:
I remember when I was a little girl first learning how to cook, helping my grandmother each morning as she made biscuits and cornbread. …watching her hands as she skillfully added and quickly stirred each ingredient into the middle of the flour pan by hand. I was mesmerized by the tactile and sensuous nature of the creative process.
This was a daily routine for her. She was a pro at getting the temperature just right on her wood stove. She knew just how much wood to use, the best type of wood, and exactly how to make sure that nothing burned. On the top of…
