Description

Recharge Rooms are helping frontline healthcare workers cope with the continued toll the pandemic is taking on their well-being. How bats are helping scientists create better biologging instruments and the discoveries being made with the technology. The nonprofit working on a coast-to-coast, entirely off-road bike trail across the US. And the inevitable generator that transports Senator Bernie Sanders and his folding chair anywhere in the world.Sponsor:NordVPN, Get 68% off a two-year plan plus an additional free month––at nordvpn.com/kottke or use coupon KOTTKELinks:These Recharge Rooms Are Helping Health Care Workers Cope (Wired)Seals With High-Tech Hats Are Collecting Climate Data in the Antarctic (Smithsonian)Today I learned bats are trendsetters in tracking tech (The Verge)Weird West Tale Books by Mike ResnickA new way to travel across the US (BBC)Great American Rail-Trail  (Rails to Trails)Next Stop Adventure zines (Matt Gauck, Etsy)A Website That Lets You Add Bernie Sanders Sitting at the Inauguration to Any Location on Google Maps (Laughing Squid)Put Bernie Anywhere!
