Why does this matter? El Niño adds to climate change, shifting temperature + rainfall patterns around the world. That in turn affects wildfire, flood and drought risk; food, water, and health; and can even double the risk of civil conflict in tropical regions (Source: www.nature.com/articles/nat...)

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
