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.”

Remember when herding animals required manual labor? Actually we were shooting video but the animals thought it was the end of the world and ran straight for the barn. It was the fastest feeding time on record, maybe we use the drone more often?!
Don’t forget to keep your shepherd energy supply high with good nutrition. We take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts everyday because it is packed with vitamins A, D & K along with anti-inflammatory omega 3s. It’s fermented instead of high heat processed like most fish oils. Grab some with promo code “ALISON” and you get 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
I wasn’t a committed homeschool mom from the second my first child was born. I did quite a bit of research because I wanted to learn more about how kids learn - and truly what kind of environments are not just best for learning ABCs but for overall health and development. I wasn’t even sure I would be a good teacher. After reading many books written by education “experts”, we landed on homeschool.
I really had to unravel quite a bit of what I thought was “school” before I could even begin. I went to the same private school K-12 and equated learning with perfect exam scores. As a student, I forgot a lot of what I crammed into my head because I wasn’t learning for the joy of it - I was learning to survive.
I have come to see how much a child learns through simply living - and being bored! They are innately attuned to art, nature, science, nutrition, play, language - if only we give them a chance. I have truly loved homeschooling my kids, especially all the time we get to spend...
I lived for many years with the idea that I would be a career woman first and someday get to kids.
Biologically, this makes little sense as it gets harder to have kids as a woman ages. But even more mind boggling, I didn’t really even think much of it, like the way one considers what he or she is having for dinner. Actually I probably put more thought into dinner. Being a mom was a complete afterthought. One day a friend and I were eating lunch in downtown Seattle and she smacked some truth into my noggin. I decided, ok what the heck. What do I have to lose? We had our first when I was 38 - I found out I was pregnant the week I resigned from my TV news job. Our second came when I was 41.
If I could talk to younger me, I’d tell her that no career is worth delaying or sacrificing motherhood. It has been the most incredibly humbling, soul-stretching, heart-throbbing, belly laughing adventure I’ve ever had.
And don’t forget to grab the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from...
