1 month ago | charitonleader.com | David Shultz

The ‘arc of the moral universe’ is not reversibleCivil rights are not reversible. Once the ratchet of rights has been opened, they cannot tighten.

Dec 13, 2023 | science.org | Molly Herring |David Shultz

He hopes further work can help scientists better understand how birds around the globe will cope with climate change.

Observations from the 1990s described Aka great-grandmothers and girls as young as age 5 trapping duiker and porcupine in central Africa.
