This Week in Spring - March 14th, 2023

Hi, Spring fans! Happy Pi (π) day! And, welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It’s pouring cats and dogs here in San Francisco! The news is talking about atmospheric rivers; I don’t know what that means but I don’t know that I want to find out. Anyway, all that to say: I’m glad as always for an opportunity to stay indoors and learn. We’ve got a lot to review this week so let’s dive right into it!
