Blind Listener from The Philippines
Hello WIRED! I'm a lifelong Filipino-American Scientist in the Philippines, originally from the USA! I lost my vision 3 years ago from PTSD. This year, I have 43 wonderful years of SCIENCE in my head! I'm now 50 years old and had celebrating my 50th birthday & 14th wedding anniversary in seclusion, mostly due to CoViD19 pandemic.
Keep up the podcasts! Very informative! I used to read your printed magazine when I lived in the USA, long time ago.
