USA is supposed to uphold the right to free speech, the right to assemble. This is un-American. We must collectively stand up and say this is unacceptable.

Critics say carbon trading & offsets are merely a means for companies to keep polluting But what if there was a way to pay communities to preserve forests that didn’t involve the carbon market? Ireland is funding a #climate project in Liberia to find out, @shokes.bsky.social reports:

Post 2 of 3 in my rethinking rivers mini series highlights how rivers have their own distinct rhythms. Life evolves to match these rhythms — and when we disrupt them, ecosystems unravel. So rhythmic in fact that you can make music from them. Dig in to find out how. And stay tuned for the final post.

I'm beyond grateful to the judges for highlighting my work on the dismantling of the US scientific enterprise. This award goes out to the brave federal workers who have participated in my stories and helped the public to cut through the noise and chaos. Your stories are being heard.
