Imagine if this practice, of gathering together to weave a cocoon for a departing loved one, was normal. How healing that would be.

#ScienceUnderSiege: The Orlando Research Conference Fallout
Something alarming is happening in the #ScientificCommunity, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. A recent #NIH-backed #neuroscience conference in #Orlando turned into a disaster. Research sessions were canceled after being mistaken for “#DEI” initiatives, and funding was pulled.
One session on the diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea (how nerve cells transmit sound) was targeted because people saw the word “#diversity” and assumed it was political. #MAGA hat-wearing attendees reportedly vandalized posters.
The nescient reaction of the MAGA hat-wearing attendees to the word “diversity”—mistaking a scientific discussion on neural firing patterns in the cochlea for a political agenda—exemplifies a dangerous blend of #ignorance and ideological rigidity. Their inability to differentiate between linguistic context and #partisan buzzwords not only disrupted legitimate research but also underscored the broader issue of anti-intellectualism undermining scientific progress.
Worse, researchers discovered their already earned funding was revoked, postdoc opportunities disappeared, and the conference felt like a #funeral for the field as careers crumbled in real time.
Meanwhile, the NIH was banned from attending due to a new administration-imposed blackout on communications and travel, delaying critical #research on #Cancer, #HeartDisease, and #Diabetes.
#Science depends on open inquiry—but now, #political interference is gutting #research. This isn’t just about one conference. It’s a direct attack on scientific progress. If we don’t stand up now, what’s next?
Science must remain free from political control.

There has been much interest in ye ole Pauper's Coffin, currently on display in the Symbols of Mortality exhibition gallery, Orkney Museum. For context, here is a little background history, kindly provided by St Magnus Cathedral Curator, Fran Flett Hollinrake..
"Do not place me in the ground, in some grey tomb I do not want. Rather, cast me to the four winds and let me roam creation once more. To soak into the earth, to ride upon the river’s currents, and spill into the ocean blue. I cannot stand the thought of some mundane burial. No, set me adrift and bid me farewell. This is what I wish". ~ B.T.

"No" is just another step on the way to yes.
Yesterday the church coordinator refused my choices of hymns for mom's funeral.
But when I asked the organist directly, he thought them to be obvious choices and approved.
He has gladdened my heart on a day of sorrow.
I'm glad I asked.
