Many things will affect how well a student will do in school. Some you can control, others you can't
One that affects every student (and teacher), and that we can control, is indoor air quality

Her speech also gave us insights into how the right-wing/Murdoch media engages with science in the age of Covid

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.
Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

It makes me sigh pointing this out.
But at the "Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action" deep inside the @UN headquarters, the air quality was not good.

One year ago today, I officially started a YouTube Channel.
I thought I’d take the opportunity to reflect on the year, and talk a little about what the channel is, what it isn’t, and what I’m hoping to accomplish with it.
