A big sigh of relief - after much uncertainty, the Natural History GCSE has finally been given the green light by the Government. It is arguably *the* most impactful opportunity we have to teach my generation how to protect, restore and reconnect our ecosystems for the future.

I was honored to join The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial at Place des Nations in Geneva ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly. The memorial, organized by Archewell Philanthropies in partnership with the World Health Organization and The Parents’ Network, highlighted the urgent need for stronger global action to protect children and young people from online harm, cyberbullying, and unsafe digital spaces. The event served as a powerful global call to recognize online safety, digital wellbeing, and mental health as emerging public health priorities, while encouraging governments, technology companies, health leaders, parents, and communities to work together in creating safer digital environments for children and adolescents worldwide.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.
