I haven't heard from her all day.. I hope and pray it's because she has more important things to do and not something worse. Those poor people. UPDATE-just gor a DM, still at risk but fine.

2. Russians have knocked out most methods of communication....

including the internet and much of the cell phone traffic. I wouldn't worry too much. It's just the fascist Russians doing what fascist Russians do.

3. She was so nice.

4. We got a single text today from my son's friend in Kyiv. If they

take shelter in the subways, there may not be a signal because they are so far underground. Our friend just sent, "I'm okay".

5. I just came upon her by serendipity.

When I googled her name I saw she did peer reviewed work

7. Well there you go!

I'm glad your mind is at ease, and that she's doing alright. Let's hope it remains that way.
