Around 10 years ago I almost died because a road not built with climate change in mind was so wrecked it damaged the bus I was on. I knew that I would eventually write a story about how climate change is wrecking roads, and endangering lives. This is me trying to explain that. Gift lift.

Important motorways across the world weren’t designed to withstand more extreme temperatures and rainfall.

I've asked the administration what constitutes as DEIA. I've asked for examples.
Including all coworkers for a team lunch is inclusion. Is that DEI?
Creating accessible websites is compliance with federal law, but is that in violation of anti-DEIA measures?
So far the government hasn't responded

Trump isn't just killing DEI; he's going back in time to kill baby DEI

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

The next abortion battle will be over the plane tickets and gas money that help women cross state lines, Kristen V. Brown reports—as travel plays a larger role in abortion access, it'll also inevitably become a bigger target for abortion opponents.
