Don't just say 'Flora & Fauna' to describe biological diversity anymore. Say 'Flora, Fauna & Funga'. After all, fungi are important! Then, an update on research that gives real credence to Near-Death Experiences. Finally, hear how Kentucky State University (in Frankfort, KY), along with 15 other land-grant Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), have been shortchanged by their respective state governments in their funding over the last 32 years.
