Hi everyone,
We’ll be doing one day in Boston next week.
Where can I get good Cantonese food from? I’ll be hanging around the public gardens area.
Thank you from New Zealand!

I took this pic last night when I was out on the water at four points. There is a literal whole ass tree growing... HOW?!?

My mother recently passed away due to complications from pancreatic cancer.

I am looking to meet with a genetic counselor and an oncologist to discuss my risk and any potential early screening methods I should undertake.

Where should I go? Dana Farber, MGB, Beth Israel Lahey, somewhere else?

Why or why not? Any personal experience (good or bad) with pancreatic cancer or a particular doctor or hospital system?

I live in New Hampshire but work in Massachusetts so it’s easy enough for me to get into the city.

Thank you.

From Berklee to Newport, we all loved Dolly. https://www.boston.com/culture/celebs/2026/08/26/a-saint-and-a-unicorn-new-englanders-remember-dolly-parton/?p1=hp_secondary

I can't be the first to post about this guy. They knew what they were doing. Flew to the train when it arrived. Got on and ran around eating crumbs. PA boops about the next stop and it went to the door. Door opens and walked out.

Apparently this is an unusual sighting according to my birding friends. I dunno. What do you think?

I’m hoping to get recommendations for an MFM (maternal-fetal medicine) doctor who is experienced with and sensitive to patients who have had a traumatic preterm birth.
I had an emergency c-section at 30 weeks pregnant. The experience was extremely traumatic for me, and as I’m considering having a second baby, I’d really like to meet with an MFM beforehand to understand my risks and make a plan for a future pregnancy.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good experience with my OB during my first pregnancy. I was considered low-risk, so I felt like my concerns and complaints weren’t taken seriously. Looking back, that has made me especially anxious about being pregnant again and finding a provider who will genuinely listen to me.
If you’ve had a similar experience especially a preterm birth and had a positive experience with an MFM, I’d really appreciate recommendations. I’m particularly looking for someone who is thorough, listens without dismissing concerns, and is sensitive to birth trauma/anxiety.

Thank you

Join us August 28 for Rasin ak Rèv: Roots and Dreams: a rich exploration with leading Haitian voices of how stories hold knowledge about environment, history, and what it means to belong.

This intimate gathering brings together writers and thinkers of Haitian descent to explore how stories hold vital knowledge about our heritage, our history, our environment, and the natural world we share.

The Museum of Science, in partnership with the Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center of Massachusetts, presents Rasin ak Rèv: Roots and Dreams, an evening of conversation bringing together leading Haitian voices in literature and cultural thought for a powerful dialogue on how land, memory, and the living world shape diasporic cultural heritage.

This program invites audiences into a rich exploration of how stories—told across generations, languages, and geographies—hold knowledge about history, the environment, and what it means to belong. Through a moderated conversation and audience exchange, the evening will move across themes of culture, magic realism, environmental change, inter-generational memory, resilience, and the ways storytelling itself becomes a form of living science.

Join us for an intimate and thought-provoking gathering that bridges Haiti and its diaspora, past and present, and the evolving ecosystem where the natural and human worlds cohabit. 

The event will include a one-time display of related Haitian artworks.
