Stevenson and Tanaka know that the infrastructure that holds the land, water, air, and the earth’s living creatures in a delicate balancing act has begun to dangerously sway.
It is what they offer to steady the environmental pyramid and to teach others to participate that has gleaned them recognition and praise.
Reading through the letters of recommendation for the award, 80-year-old Jim Stevenson’s and Tara Tanaka’s plaudits include dozens of laudatory letters from conservation organizations across Florida.
One could believe they are a compilation of the accolades of three or four people, not just two: The Florida Wildlife Federation, The Wakulla Springs Alliance, Tall Timbers Research Station & Land Conservancy, Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservancy, Apalachee Land Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, Coastal Plains Institute and Land Conservancy, Florida Springs Institute, and the Apalachee Audubon Society all speak with high gratitude for their efforts.

After six new episodes releasing every Friday, the entirety of âThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierâ is available on Disney+.  Â
The new Marvel Cinematic Universe series picks up where âAvengers: Endgameâ left off. The world is still recovering from the effects of The Blip. Â
The first person seen in episode one is the Falcon himself, Sam Wilson, portrayed by New Orleans native Anthony Mackie. But the first voice we hear is none other than Steve Rogers, as the dialogue flashes back to the passing of the shield in âEndgame.â
Steveâs absence looms large throughout the series, especially when his poster is on Samâs left at the Smithsonian Museum.

The Great Debate of 1920: how it changed astronomy
April 28, 2021 at 10:10 am
In 1920, astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis came together to take part in the Great Debate about the scale of the Universe. But what ultimately, was astronomy’s Great Debate about, and how did it change the way we look at the Universe?

Harlow Shapley, a 34-year-old journalist-turned-astronomer, must have been nervous when he climbed the stage in the Baird Auditorium of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC on 26 April 1920. Facing him was a crowd of fellow scientists and lay people alike.
On stage after Shapley would be his opponent in the Great Debate, eminent astronomer Heber Curtis – a man 13 years his senior, more experienced and eloquent at speaking, and who disagreed with Shapley on just about everything.
