Judge orders Trump administration to preserve $233M in FEMA grants it attempted to pull from blue states

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.
It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.
She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.
