We are looking forward to publishing Crystal's report about Angelman Syndrome (AS) and health disparity in Hong Kong.

Nearly 137,500 internally displaced people (IDPs) are sheltering in 83 UNRWA schools in all areas of the Gaza Strip. the conditions are difficult, with some shelters overcrowded, and with limited availability of potable water.

We're working on removing all Twitter integration from CoffeeGeek.com, starting tomorrow. There's a lot to do.

I have a long thread, a "call to action" to the remaining #coffee community on Twitter, ready to post on October 10th, my last day on that platform.

If it entices any companies, services, charitable organizations, brands, or individuals in the specialty coffee sphere to make the leap here, I know many of you will welcome them with open arms.

Stay tuned! :)

Anyone have any leads for a forensic microSD card data recovery specialist? (There are lots of scammy ads out there for this so I'm looking for personal recommendations.)

The card in question returned from the space station with a small crack in it and won't enumerate. Reflying the experiment is an expensive proposition, so there's considerable motivation to recover the data. ;)

Thanks Mastodonians!
