Just me, hanging with my "Lil Fri" enjoying the outdoors and learning about leaves. (See the one clutched in her little hand? She held it for awhile). 😊
You're never to young to start loving science! @scifri.bsky.social

Thanks so much! And yes, I'm thrilled that kids will know all about Raye. She was an amazing person!!

NOTE: The scarf I'm wearing was created especially to celebrate 50 years of women in the military academies, which happed Oct 7th, 1975, when President Ford signed the law allowing this. So proud to be one of those women. GO NAVY! #usnagrad @littlebrownyr.bsky.social @steamteambooks.bsky.social
