"The rally, held on Friday, brought together hundreds of scientists, researchers, and supporters to protest what organizers described as the Trump administration’s threats to scientific progress, including funding cuts and political interference in research. Bill Nye, the CEO of The Planetary Society and a prominent figure in science education, was a key speaker, advocating for increased funding and protection for scientific endeavors. However, a moment during his speech—where he raised his arm in a manner some interpreted as resembling the Nazi salute—has overshadowed the event’s intended message."

I used to get the hiccups all the time. I mean all the time. Not only that, but they were never ending. I tried all the things you’re supposed to try to get your hiccups to stop and nothing ever worked. Nothing. Ever.

Eventually the problem was solved by the great Bill Nye the Science Guy. He had a video… somewhere… that I watched that said to get your hiccups to stop you have to get your brain to stop waffling between the am-I-breathing and am-I-swallowing states and force it to do one or the other. He said to take a drink, but instead of drinking normally, take five small gulps in quick succession. Gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp.

I tried it. Lo and Behold, it worked.

Oh the gloriousness, it worked.

Then I had the Gastric Bypass Surgery. Fast forward a little over two years and I was talking about something with my wife and it occurred to me that I had not had the hiccups once since the surgery. Not once. That was lucky, as Bill Nye the Science Guy’s cure would have been tough for me because I couldn’t drink fast anymore. I had to pause between sips, and the sips had to be small. As time continues to pass, that is less and less of an issue. I can’t gulp drinks like I used to, but it is not as difficult as it was in the early post-surgery days.

Which is lucky, because tonight after dinner… for the first time in two years and almost six months…

I had the hiccups.

Bill Nye’s trick still works, thank goodness.

For nearly two decades, Spann used his own blog and long-running podcast to coordinate with Sen. Jim Inhofe’s (R-Okla.) climate-denier aide Marc Morano to attack climate scientists like James Hansen and science communicators like Bill Nye.

We made it on a Library of Congress list??!! 📚🎉

We couldn’t be more excited to be included in Science Through Pop Culture: A Research Guide! AND alongside some very big names in the #scicomm and #science podcasting world (like #Ologies, #BillNye, #StarTalk, and #SGU !!!) 👏✨👩‍🔬

This is a huge milestone for us. Thank you to our colleague Melissa for suggesting our #podcast to the LOC - we never would’ve ourselves! You can find their new research guide here: guides.loc.gov/science-through
