Women make up only 35% of STEM graduates worldwide.

UNESCO encourages more women and girls to get involved in science education.

On #WomenInScience Day, let's amplify their voices!

I teach this resource by @johnfocook.bsky.social in all my classes. Highly recommended, as it applies to many topics in addition to climate change. ⬇️

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often

A New York Times columnist says it’s “much too slangy, regional or what you might even call ethnic to ever gain universal acceptance.”

We couldn’t disagree more. www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/...
The New York Times Denounced “Y’all.” We’d Like a Word.
Is this even really a debate?
