We co-edited this book as MnemoZIN, a collective name for Zsuzsa Millei, Iveta Silova, and Nelli Piattoeva. Writing together is our method—and our refusal of academic individualism. Inspired by Mnemosyne, Goddess of Memory & Daughter of Gaia

🌀 What if education isn’t saving the world—
…but scripting its collapse?

In our new article, we ask whether global calls for “more education” are reinforcing the very systems driving ecological collapse.

Prochlorococcus, a marine bacterium that is only 0.5–0.7 micrometers wide, produces more oxygen than all tropical rainforests combined.

Every tiny organism plays a key role in our planet's health.

On #WorldOceanDay, see how UNEP works to #SaveOurOcean: bit.ly/3Qk34aI
A microscopic image showing several green, circular to oval-shaped cells of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. The cells have a layered appearance and are viewed under an electron microscope. Clusters of smaller dark dots, likely bacteria or cellular fragments, appear near the larger cells.
