Congratulations to Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg on being awarded the Darwin Medal. Prof. Hoegh-Guldberg's work has been instrumental in shifting scientific, public, and policy discourse toward recognising the existential threat that climate change poses to coral reefs.

From some of the first pilots to the engineers who put Americans in space — the legacy of these Black pioneers is inseparable from aviation and aerospace itself. They opened the skies for everyone.

A huge effort by a massive team of collaborators shows just how badly the world's reefs were damaged in the third global coral bleaching event. The worst coral bleaching event ever recorded damaged over 50% of reefs www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
