Yesterday’s NPR “All things considered” edition seemed a little more varied that the usual deluge of “bad/negative news”, so I’m going to share some of the news-clips that gave me some hope and/or diversion last night.

Amid the seemingly apocalyptic news on COVID, two positive, hopeful reports:
1) Equity for vaccines!? https://www.npr.org/2022/01/04/1070338017/this-new-low-cost-covid-19-vaccine-could-be-a-game-changer-for-low-income-countr
2) Light at the end of the tunnel… already in March?!? https://www.npr.org/2022/01/04/1070338045/the-case-for-covid-optimism-despite-sky-high-infection-rates

And last but not least, James Webb Space Telescope: WOW!!!
