"Harriet the Spy" is beloved as a story about a girl with agency, talent & gender nonconformity. It is underappreciated as an urban story.

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

I lived for decades in this country with ILR. Married to a British person, worked in public sector, did volunteer work. This demonisation is so puerile.

Public health shouldn’t be centred around individual behaviour change. It should be focused on changing the wider commercial, social, environmental & ultimately political determinants of health. Behaviour change will naturally come when healthy behaviours are facilitated by those structural changes.

Dr Katherine Calvin is not only NASA's Chief Scientist. She is also, along with Dr Joy Jaqueline Pereira, Co-Chair of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)'s Working Group 3, and thus the highest ranking American scientist on the IPCC.

Trump and Musk just fired her.
The Trump Administration is eliminating the Office of the Chief Scientist at NASA.
The current head of that office is Dr. Katherine Calvin, an expert on climate change, global modeling, and international scientific negotiations.
