Trained experimental physicist who became a science teacher by accident.
"The losses would not stop at Earth. The proposal would end the Juno mission orbiting Jupiter [...]. It would end New Horizons, which famously imaged Pluto and is now pushing into a Kuiper belt of cold, icy objects."

And the list goes on, never ending.
President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking to throttle the scientific ambitions of #NASA, prematurely ending a host of active missions in orbit studying Earth and other planets, while also ending the agency’s work to develop their successors. scim.ag/4kmAX7n

Deux articles du Monde diplomatique en accès libre à lire absolument pour approfondir notre compréhension de ce qui se passe actuellement à Gaza.

D'abord, la question des "boucliers humains", utilisés comme justification par Israël pour "expliquer" le nombre élevé de victimes civiles.
Certes, le droit international estime que se protéger derrière des non-combattants est un crime de guerre. Mais une question demeure : combien de civils peut-on tuer pour éliminer un seul ennemi ?

Quand on se rend compte qu'on fait partie de ces 10%, ça force évidemment à se remettre en question. Malgré les gestes écolos au quotidien, il faut bien admettre qu'on reste loin de l'objectif.
Au niveau mondial, les 10% les plus riches sont responsables des deux tiers du réchauffement climatique. Ils ont contribué sept fois plus que la moyenne mondiale à l’augmentation des vagues de chaleur centennales et six fois plus à la hausse des sécheresses en Amazonie www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

Analyse (un peu angoissante, il faut le dire) de la situation militaire actuelle et future en Europe.
À quoi joue Trump, où va l’Ukraine, que peut l’Europe, que fait la France ? Beaucoup de questions sans réponse, de possibles retournements, dans le domaine de la défense comme en d’autres. ↓

And yet, doesn't a small part of us want to believe it?
nature.com Nature @nature.com · Apr 17
A team of scientists made headlines last night with claims that they had found the “strongest hints yet of biological activity outside the Solar System”. They have met floods of scepticism.

As a teacher since 2012, the link between the extensive use of smartphones and social media by teenagers and their increasing mental health problems is obvious enough. But maybe it is indeed "mistaking correlation between technology use and mental illness for causation".

Although researchers agree that adolescents are struggling with mental health, there is fierce debate about how much phones and social media are to blame

That's what "Welcome to America" looks like now.
I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it Just before the graphic artist Rebecca Burke left Seattle to travel to Vancouver, Canada, on 26 February, she posted an image of a rough comic to Instagram. “One part of travelling that I love is seeing glimpses of other lives,” read the bubble in the first panel, above sketches of cosy homes: crossword puzzle books, house plants, a lit candle, a steaming kettle on a gas stove. Burke had seen plenty of glimpses of other lives over the six weeks she had been backpacking in the US. She had been travelling on her own, staying on homestays free of charge in exchange for doing household chores, drawing as she went. For Burke, 28, it was absolute freedom. Within hours of posting that drawing, Burke got to see a much darker side of life in America, and far more than a glimpse. When she tried to cross into Canada, Canadian border officials told her that her living arrangements meant she should be travelling on a work visa, not a tourist one. They sent her back to the US, where American officials classed her as an illegal alien. She was shackled and transported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention centre, where she was locked up for 19 days – even though she had money to pay for a flight home, and was desperate to leave the US.

When even the most pacific among us have to agree that Europe needs to develop its defence capability and increase its spending, at least it looks like the EU is willing to coordinate the process.
But the questions are: Will it work? Will that be enough? And where will this money come from?
The future of 450 million Europeans is in their hands.

Europe needs to be strong to protect it in the current geopolitical environment.

It's time to step up and take action. Here's how ↓

Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) spotted in full glory by #SolarOrbiter.

The #comet was observed with the SoloHI instrument from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.

The encounter happened on 14-25 January, while Solar Orbiter was heading toward #Venus and the comet coincidentally swung by the #Sun.

Hopefully, most states will take over student loans and enforce anti-discrimination policies. The problem will be diagnostic assessments, to test and compare the students' level.
President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that directs the Department of Education to come up with a plan for its own demise. Still, students may not see much change, at least at first.
Can Trump End the Department of Education?

Haworth and Fischer projections are, by far, my least favourite topic to teach. I have literally no 3D visualisation skills whatsoever. Didn't know it had been awarded a Nobel Prize though.
