Uncovering the Origin of COVID-19

by Jack Hassard | Mar 18, 2023 | COVID-19

The origin of COVID-19 has been a fundamental question: Was it from nature or a lab? In this post, I’ll be able to shed light on this question. A few days ago, Florence Debarre, a French evolutionary biologist, identified previously undisclosed genetic data from the Wuhan Seafood Market. Her discovery was shared immediately with Kristen Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at Scripps Research, who co-published one of the first research papers on the origin of COVID-19 in 2020. Together they believe these new findings support a natural source of the virus rather than from a lab.

Moon, Venus & Jupiter over Marietta

by Jack Hassard | Mar 7, 2023 | Night Sky

Last night was a good time to view not only the moon, but Jupiter and Venus. Here are few photos showing what I saw last night. We live on the edge of a wetlands which is home to Mud Creek. From my backyard looking across the wetlands, here is a picture of the moon peeking through the trees. The other photo shows Jupiter and Venus in the sky looking west.

Representative Greene: Be Careful What You Wish For

by Jack Hassard | Feb 23, 2023 | Political Violence, Politics

Marjorie Taylor Greene should be very careful what she wishes for. She tweeted that red states should separate from blue states. Claims everyone is talking about. I show that she might consider moving since GA has drifted away from being a red state.

The Struggle for Human Rights

by Jack Hassard | Jan 16, 2023 | Progressive World-View

Joe Abruscato and I wrote a series of books in the 1970s that focused on humanistic education and psychology. The books explored how our species can learn from each other, foster the right of all citizens to be free and develop their lives in a community of humanistic values. The series included these books: Loving & Beyond: Science Teaching for the Humanistic Classroom (1976), The Whole Cosmos Catalogue of Science Activities for People of All Ages (1977), and The Earthpeople Activity Book (1978). In this post I want to share what we wrote about human rights, and how it has been a struggle throughout our existence as a species.
