"Etonnamment, ce livre à l’intelligence ardente et inquiète n’a rien de « glauque » : Valérie Manteau s’arrange pour piqueter d’éclats d’humour ce vif récit d’un dessillement à la fois douloureux et nécessaire."

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

BREAKING: ‘This hurts’: UNL eliminates 4 programs despite faculty, student pleas
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.
