🚨 SHOCKING: THE MOMENT Trump CALLED OUT Erika Kirk's Name —Watch Her REACTION 😫 Trump pauses during the State of the Union… Looks straight toward the gallery… And calls her out by name: “His wonderful wife is with us tonight… Erika, please stand.” Watch her reaction. The smile. The pause. The way she blank stares. This is the same Erika Kirk who became CEO of Turning Point USA weeks after her husband’s assassination… the one Candace Owens is about to put under the microscope starting tomorrow in “The Bride of Charlie.” Coincidence? Or the most awkward timing in political history? Clip is blowing up for a reason. Drop 🔥 if you saw what I saw RT this everywhere — the internet is not going to let this one slide Tag @RealCandaceO — she needs to see this reaction before Part 1 drops The Bride of Charlie starts tomorrow. From @MattWallace888 FOLOW Him!

‘It happened one icy night….’ Hear about the #HubbardBrookNH Ice Storm Experiment, and what we can learn about forests and people from extreme event experiments! @HubbardBrookNH
In this video, Dr @LindseyRustad helps us understand what makes forests tick through her research and experiments on forest soil. Our videos recorded with @IfThenSheCan and @EBTSOYP, feature #WomenInScience and explore opportunities for youth in STEM. Watch the broadcast ⬇️

‘It’s the season to start looking out for the weather conditions that create ice storms! The young people in your life can learn more about these extreme winter weather events here!
Ice storms can do serious damage to forests! At @HubbardBrookNH Experimental Forest, scientists created ice storms to study their effects, and the results show short and long-term damage to trees. Read the article written by @LindseyRustad ⬇️ @EBTSOYP @IfThenSheCan #icestorms

As we continue to face new challenges brought about by changing climates, it’s important that we fully understand what threatens our nation’s forests and grasslands. A recent report released today examines how mature and old growth forests are at risk.

Eclipse in Rangeley, #Maine. The #totality was shocking, exciting, uplifting, pins and needles cool, otherworldly, and like nothing I have ever experienced before. #Nature never disappoints! You just have to show up!

I am saddened by this news. Diana touched so many of our lives, mine included. She has long been a role model for me, from afar and from the few times I had the honor to interact with her in person. She will be missed - but she has left a legacy!
From the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research site Facebook page: "We at the MCM are absolutely devastated to have to pass the news on that our close friend and colleague, Diana Wall @DianaWallSoil passed away on March 26." #Antarctica #Astrobiology #ecology #LTER
