This Thanksgiving may not look like years' past, but we do have a lot to be thankful for. In the challenging year known as 2020, it just might take a little longer to think about it or realize it. For example, I'm grateful for science alerting us of chickens' terrifying ancestry. I'm also grateful that today we have a surprise guest.
