To be clear: the US election result is a blow in the fight against the climate crisis. The window to limit warming to 1.5°C is closing—these next 4 years are critical. But let’s not despair. The Paris Agreement has proven resilient, stronger than any one country’s policies (1/10)

They can discourage me, but they will not break me. I'm going to continue to fight, speak out, connect people to where they want to get to, and help them as much as I can.
Check out this podcast in general, but this episode in particular. Please share it with undergrads :)

6yo asked me to explain what “normal” was.
So I did. With examples.
Long story short, 6yo is happily explaining normal distribution to a 5yo.
“And sister, this is really important: there is no normal. It’s just the name of the curve.”
