The Amazon is closer to a tipping point than we thought. 17–18% is already gone. If deforestatx hits 22–28% + warming reaches just 1.5–1.9°C, up to 62–77% of the forest could tip into degraded savanna or scrub. That’s not a distant future risk,it could start this century. Protect what's left

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

Our findings provide the first robust national-level evidence, albeit observational, that high HPV vaccination coverage is associated with a substantial reduction in cervical cancer deaths. This is sh...

“…a past strong El Niño event wiped out 77 percent of the islands' penguins. In addition, the climate pattern destroyed 97 percent of shallow water coral.” If this El Niño turns out as predicted, it will have devastating effects on biodiversity across the globe. www.newsweek.com/super-el-nin...

Most Galapagos penguins could be killed this year, here's why
More than three-quarters of the penguins' population died during a separate strong El Niño event, fueling concerns for this year.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.
A powerful narrative portrait of Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald investigative journalist celebrated for her "Perversion of Justice" series, which exposed the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and led to her 2026 Pulitzer Prize special citation. Brown sits in the heart of a newsroom, leaning forward with her hands clasped over the back of a vibrant lime-green chair. Her expression is steady and resolute, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips. She has shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair and wears a crisp, white short-sleeved linen top. Her look is punctuated by bold, artistic accessories: a long necklace featuring large, multi-colored geometric beads and matching statement earrings. The background is filled with the tools of her trade: Dell computer monitors and large wall-mounted screens displaying blurred news segments, including one featuring her own likeness. The composition is balanced and centered, capturing a mood of quiet authority and tireless determination. This image stands as a tribute to Brown’s historical significance in journalism, marking her as a champion for victims whose reporting forced a global reckoning on power and systemic failure.

Physicist/chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett invented non-reflective glass in 1938. It revolutionized optics & led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. First woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. She was born #OTD in 1898. #WomenInSTEM #inventor
Black-and-white photograph of American physicist and inventor Katharine Burr Blodgett (1898–1979), the first woman to receive a PhD in physics from the University of Cambridge, working in a laboratory. She is shown in profile, intently focused on adjusting a scientific apparatus with her left hand while peering into a large glass tank possibly filled with liquid. She wears cat-eye glasses, a short-sleeved blouse with a scalloped Peter Pan collar and white cuffs, and her hair is neatly styled in soft waves. The background reveals shelves lined with glass bottles and lab equipment, capturing the mid-20th-century research environment at General Electric where she pioneered non-reflective glass coatings and thin-film technology. The image conveys concentration, precision, and pioneering scientific dedication.Side-by-side demonstration of Katharine Burr Blodgett's 1938 invention: non-reflective glass. Left: three colorful yarn balls (red, blue, yellow) are clearly visible through coated glass with no glare. Right: the same balls appear blurred and distorted by reflections through ordinary clear glass. A powerful visual proof of the invisible coating that revolutionized lenses, windows, and screens.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."
