An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

decades of studies show #resumes with Black- and/or female names get fewer calls than those with white- and/or male names.

"People don’t become homeless when they run out of money, they become homeless when they run out of relationships" and this is more evident in cities with housing shortage.
Why housing shortages cause homelessness - Works in Progress
Why do high-cost cities have more homelessness? It's not just about rents — it’s also about the rooms friends and family can’t afford to share.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

you say: this little flower needs water, it needs sunlight, it needs proper love & daily care, only then can it reach its full potential
