Some perspective on change, and how to embrace it…
1. Lab Safety-put your goggles on!
2. Schools are often low on funds and equipment is old, but your extinguisher should be red.
3. Household problems extend beyond the laundry.
4. The pressure to confirm to clothing styles seems to remain. Impossible to recreate this barometer lab, is that mercury in that dish?
5. Bias in sources should always be considered. The word “ignorant” was always a giveaway back then, it may be harder to spot in sources now.
6. Swine flu may be grabbing the headlines, but it was once beri-beri. Eradicated in the developing world beri-beri still is a cause of death of Burmese children, due to diet. Thousand of rural poor in South Carolina died of pellagra at the start of the twentieth century. Change has altered the impact of these diseases.
7. Some things stay the same.
8. And my favorite from the book, yes, everyone note the FIBERS!
There are those who, make change happen, those that watch change happen and those that wonder what happened.
