Dear Emily,
I am interested about your post because I have a lot of pollinators in my neighborhood. One sentence that stands out me is “You want to have a variety of flowering plants that bloom throughout the growing season. This will provide a regular and diverse source of nectar and nutrients for pollinators. Native plants are the best to use because they evolved alongside our native pollinators — they were made for each other.” This stands out to me because I didn’t ever think about how the native plants grow along side the pollinators .

Hi Cassie,
I found it interesting that retrieval time is more effective not directly after learning something. How long should you wait for a more effective retrieval time?
I found a website that has some other pros and cons as well. https://www.procon.org/headline.php?headlineID=005411
Thank you for your time,

While I’m super happy with the ban on Conversion Therapy on minors, I’m still curious why the Federal government hasn’t stepped in thus far. I looked into it and saw that a couple problems arise constitutionally: https://www.collegesoflaw.edu/blog/2020/05/27/the-constitutionality-of-conversion-therapy-bans/?_page=3 but I’m interested where you stand on this. Do you think it’s the right of the federal government to ban a practice so horrible?
