Mike Donio is my guest tomorrow. He started Science Defined after 20 years as a research scientist. It aims to make science “approachable” to all. Here’s what he has written about himself - ANY QUESTIONS?:
“Most of my career has been in industry doing drug discovery and development research. I’ve seen some interesting things 👀.
Most recently I was a senior scientist at a biotech company in the immuno-oncology space where I helped to bring two antibodies into clinical trials.
That all ended in September of 2021 when my now former employer rejected my religious exemption and terminated me for failing to comply with their vaccine mandate.
It turned my life upside down but I am grateful for the incredible support I’ve had from my wife, kids and many others.
Since then I’ve been speaking out and sharing the truth about the current state of scientific research.
Hint: it’s not good.
I’ve shared my insights on all things covid as well.
But if we are going to move past the last 3 years and ensure it doesn’t happen again we need actionable solutions.
I’m working on that too and have just launched a new project, Science Defined.
My goal is to inspire and motivate more people to walk boldly in truth and to reclaim their God-given power over their health.
So, join me and let’s lay the foundation for a better future for our children. They are depending on it.”

The kids did their first rodeo today! Their event was “goat undressing on foot.” They have to catch a goat and grab a ribbon of its tail, throw the ribbon in a bucket and raise their hands to stop the clock. It seems grabbing the rope is the best strategy, then use that to shimmy toward the goat. The real winner was the crowd- who doesn’t love watching kids chase a goat in circles? Lily’s time was around 24 seconds, Jack’s was about 13 seconds.
I had to get a blood sample from our (hopefully pregnant) dairy cow, Maisy, to the post office, but wanted to hit the gym on the way. So, the blood came in a cooler (which I won in a feed store raffle) and hung out in my passenger seat. I think you hit the pro farmer world when you can say you’ve driven around with animal blood in your car while running errands. All in a day’s work!
WARNING: You will see a sheep rectum in this video.
I am dealing with my first rectal prolapse in our ewe, Maple. She is such a sweet girl but I’ll tell you, it’s been quite the learning experience and challenge for my gag reflex. The consensus among farmer friends has been to pack the prolapsed section with sugar and push it back in. This may seem easy enough but I’ve found it to be quite difficult for a newbie like myself. I’ve see this is more common in feedlot lambs but Maple is on grass with a tiny bit of hay and has no other issues, so the cause is a mystery. Vets can suture the rectal opening so that there is just room for Maple to poop, but this can be a costly procedure. There are also “rectal rings” available which essentially do the same thing as the sutures. Has anyone else dealt with this?
@AlisonMorrow Alison, are you doing interviews or news analysis anymore or have you shifted to farm life and similar types of videos mostly?
Hi! Curious to know if people in other areas than mine, Chicago suburbs, have a lot of people wearing masks. I know a lot of people that wear masks, not because they are afraid of getting Covid or other sickness, but because they are sick and think they need to wear them to keep other people from getting sick.
