Powerful piece on the struggles & goodness of nurses "staring back into the abyss." Grateful to them and other health care workers for all they are doing - and cognizant of the toll it is taking on them #COVID @sciam scientificamerican.com/article/nurses…

For climate scientists, #DontLookUp "was both like pulling teeth to watch and air-punchingly validating." Read this post and thank you @erikasiegfried. #climatechange blog.ucsusa.org/erika-spanger-… via @ucsusa

"The Supreme Court’s decision in this case will be of great consequence for front line workers who have no choice but to go to work daily and risk exposure to the virus." #OSHA #COVID19 #SCOTUS washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

#COP26 ends "with the Earth still on track to blow past that threshold, pushing toward a future of escalating weather crises and irreversible damage to the natural world." washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
