Feature:
- Since it’s International Women’s Month, I’m celebrating this week with interviews I’ve had the pleasure of having with outstanding women. Today, it’s a 2019 interview with Tea Fazio about the (then) upcoming STEM UP Conference in Fredericton, aimed at encouraging young women to go into science, technology, engineering and math fields of study.
- I’ve also added a song by Fredericton’s own pallmer, the title song to the EP Grass Garden.
- And Lainie B (from Monday night’s B Street) brings another Positive Songs For Pandemics from Black Pumas: Colors.
News headlines:
- New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
