On pause Dear Speaking of Science readers, Thank you for reading this newsletter. Writing it has been a welcome respite over the past few weeks — stopping to think about tiny dinosaurs or helpful tongue bacteria has been a nice bit of mental counterprogramming from the pandemic. But unfortunately, I have to hit pause. Like so many of my colleagues in this newsroom and others, I'm covering the coronavirus story. (Here's where to sign up for The Washington Post's coronavirus newsletter.) Please be kind, wash your hands and stay six feet from each other. Speaking of Science will be back, including occasional updates, when time allows. |
