A great article on La Niña & its counterpart El Niño.
La Niña is a climate pattern with unusual cooling of the Pacific Ocean lasting for about a year. Between 2020 and 2022, we had an unusually long La Niña period, followed by 2023-2024 record-breaking heat of El Niño. 🧪

We can all have dreams right? So maybe today you could look a bit more critically at a small systematic or structural issue that is excluding #WomenInSTEM and other underrepresented folks? We cannot change the world alone but together we can do so much! 🧪

But what would I like to do? Well, I'd like to share more stories from women and girls in STEM. I'd love to find more ways to develop meaningful and interesting programmes that ignite and sustain interest in STEM girls. I'd also love to see my #WomenInSTEM friends soar. 🧪

The directive announced Jan. 21 reversed policy that for more than a decade restricted both ICE and CBP officers in these previously protected “sensitive areas,” which includes schools, churches and hospitals.
‘Kids are not coming’: Utah schools see attendance dip after Trump admin change allows ICE on campuses

"We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley. "There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this."
