I write in @TheWireScience about some of the notable challenges to groundwater consumption and drinking water access in urban India and how it could be addressed. @OxfamWater @WorldBankWater @WBG_Cities @WaterAidIndia @NITIAayog @impakterdotcom science.thewire.in/environment/se…

Why does greedy & terrified Trump care about Venezuela? It’s not about “narco-terrorism.” It’s about 304 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL That’s the ONLY real reason Venezuela matters. Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude. The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth? Venezuela. Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs. It was never about fentanyl. It was never about democracy. It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.

@RomanSaini congratulations. You are probably the first "Ed tech" company to fire an employee who tells students to vote for educated leaders. Clearly, you place a very low premium on the value of education.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Read about the man who is probably the reason why you are alive. Thank you @amitangshu for writing this.

@amitangshu It has been truly educative to read this. It is inspiring as much as it is heartbreaking. Thank you for writing this.

On #GlobalHandwashingDay, remembering Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, the first Western scientist who established that unwashed hands spread diseases. Sadly, derided for not being 'scientific enough', he was beaten to death in a mental asylum in #Vienna in 1865. huffpost.com/archive/in/ent…

When will clean water become a political issue in India? "...63 of UP's 75 districts have fluoride above the permissible limit and 25 districts are affected by high arsenic, shows 2019 data of the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation." @sumitlive en.gaonconnection.com/unnao-water-po…

Heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking.
