I sought eye contact and smiled at EVERY person in the park yesterday on my run. Just a big kind smile even during speed intervals! And 99% smiled back, some appeared surprised they were not 'invisible' and looked genuinely happy to smile back! #running #sharehapinness

It is truly difficult to comprehend that we are witnessing this dystopian situation. As a Polish woman with family trauma of WWII and then the communist regime, I'm watching in disbelief. www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Anger, despair, and defiance from a voice within the US federal research system
