How has your school changed since? Besides safety procedures and such, how do they help the students cope with this?

I don’t know if anyone will read this, but frankly I don’t care if anyone does. I feel like I owe him to say this regardless if I’m the top comment. Carroll Spinney was my hero growing up. I remember watching him in Big Bird goes to Japan in first grade and instantly falling in love with the man in the suit. I made drawings, models, and countless sock puppets because I wanted to be like him. I wanted to bring joy to everyone and make people laugh. I remember watching “I Am Big Bird” over and over again on the floor of my room and wanting to be just like him. I wanted to be Big Bird to. Eventually, over time I started to lose my sense of awe about him. And I hate that I did. Eventually, I forgot about him. To think, that the way I figured out about my childhood hero dying was by scrolling through my Reddit feed while watching TV. It shouldn’t have been like this. For some reason, at first I felt like it was my fault that he died. That because I stopped adoring him, he died alone. But as soon as I opened up the comment section to pay my respects, I learned how wrong I was. I learned how I wasn’t alone in worshipping him. Everyone loved Carroll and everyone wanted, and still wants to be like him. He was so lively and full of joy and made so many people happy. My mind is now at ease, knowing that he will always be remembered.

Rest In Peace Carroll,

And thank you for my childhood.

Can you explain to me the benefits of using Thorium verse Uranium? We are learning about their uses in reactors in school and it’s the one thing I am having trouble understanding! (Thanks for doing this btw! Your line of research is super fascinating!)
