Our co-host Floyd O'Shea needed a long walk to enjoy #EarthDay in the sun, but is finally ready to announce the winners circle from last night’s @TriviaWithBens Virtual Trivia Night hosted for @CapSciComm🌶️ #CapSciCommLive!!! triviawiththebens.com/winners-circle/ 
Quick follow-up on scores for 4/21 @TriviaWithBens:
We accepted "sulfur oxides" but not "sulfides" alone for R4 Q1.
We did not accept "O Fortuna" for R4 Q5, as that's the name of the opening/closing movement of the entire Carmina Burana composition.
