"When you get the right people, motivation, governance, and education. When you bring all that together and believe in a better future, so much becomes possible."

Deeply moving selections this morning in Daybreak ❤ Eight healthy babies with gratitude to Newcastle University reasearchers, connection overcomes loneliness, equitable leadership in primates, and Chuco's story and rescue advocacy. Chuco will be safe by the end of the day. Thank you for sharing his story ☕

Love the collection of stories - especially the one with mitochondrial donor as my sister died of genetic disorder. An important medical breakthrough.

NYC room rates - no comment.

Poor Chuco and other pets. Hope they find good homes or get their parents back.

I love the hopefulness expressed in this quote. Thank you Alexander for bringing so many stories to light. (I am sad for Chuco, however. I’m optimistic that he will go to a forever home.)

Thank you, Katie. I use AI to create them and try to give an indication of what to expect. I often add Luna too 🐈‍⬛

How I love to read wonderful stories about halting a genetic disease…..guess we can’t say ending, but so happy for those that have living children thanks to medical science ❤️. So many pets are displaced and tragically put in jeopardy for so many reasons, not the least of which is veterinary accessibility. And the cost has risen dramatically for vet care in the US. Hope Chuco finds a good home…..and that his master is returned safely. 🙏 News flashes about outer space always knock me out. Thinking about a far away scenario that could teach us more about the beginnings of this planet. Will there be a Leonardo De Vinci there some eon in the future? Will there be love and understanding between all living beings there? Just imagine……..

On rereading, I would love to see the Gandi portrait. Are there photos? I’ll search the web, going down a new rabbit hole. 😘
