Climate change-related migration and displacement: addressing the adaptation gap
Introduction Human mobility has long been shaped by environmental conditions, climatic variability, and extreme weather events.
PAC it in: Money and Politicians
Pivoting back to midterms, I thought I would get into the nitty-gritty: money. It costs a lot (like seriously big bucks) to run a campaign, and the question is as old as time: How do you get this money? To roughly explain, much like voting laws vary by state, so do campaign laws. However, there are federal laws that limit and explain how donations can be used when it comes to running campaigns.
SAVE or Suppression?
In my studies, I have become a lot more interested in understanding law and policy. Under the Trump administration, there has been a very watchful eye when it comes to their policy, and it has been understandable. Since the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, which skyrocketed insurance for millions, I have tried to keep up with other bills they are proposing. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) is the exact thing we need to be opposing.
A Credibility Crisis: The Death of Alex Pretti and Government Credibility
For weeks now, Minneapolis has become the hot spot of Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We saw not only the killing of Renee Good in early January, but last week the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse. This has once again underscored the deep mistrust towards Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Trump administration.

Legal implications of the climate-health crisis: A case study analysis of the role of public health in climate litigation
Climate change litigation Litigation is defined as “the act, process, or practice of settling a dispute in court of law” [53]. What is often disputed in climate litigation, is whether governments or market actors are ‘mitigating, regulating or adapting’ industrial activity which causes climate change. According to the IPCC [54], system change is required across all industrial sectors to substantially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
We must improve refugee camps through resilient infrastructure development
War, conflict, disaster, displacement, disease, death, and devastation — all ominous words that we have come to collectively associate with settings of socio-political turmoil. From the growing insurgency of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria and Cameroon, to new unrest with Islamic militants in Mozambique to intensifying ethnic tensions in Sudan and Ethiopia’s Tigray region, and ongoing wars in Syria5, Yemen, and Afghanistan, the threat of mass displacement still looms heavily in the air.

For real environmental justice, our energy systems must be decentralized
The growing threat of climate change has, for decades, pushed us to reconsider current models of economic development to chart a path towards long-term sustainability. Knowing this will inevitably require a transition to a net-zero economy, worldwide have mobilized in support of power generation that is exclusively reliant on carbon-free, renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy.
‘Don’t blame algorithms’ for exam issues, says professional IT body | News
UK – Following an announcement that England’s secondary school examinations are to be cancelled again in 2021, BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, has said algorithms should not be blamed for the results controversy last year. A-level, AS and GCSE pupils could be asked to sit smaller external exams instead of formal examinations to help teachers make assessments this year. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have also said that they will not proceed with exams in 2021.
CDEI calls for transparency and guidance on algorithms | News
UK – Government should clarify how the Equalities Act applies to the use of algorithms and how organisations can use data to identify algorithmic bias, according to a review by the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI).
Even during a plague in 1700s, religious institutions helped and hindered public health officials
28 minutes ago Hannah Marcus, The Conversation Share Tweet Email Reddit Print Comments Share Tweet Email Reddit Print Comments Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, conflicts between religious freedom and public health regulations have been playing out in courts around the world.

Escaping the Index of Prohibited Books | Hannah Marcus
In a letter dated October 15, 1558, Ippolito Salviani, the personal physician to Pope Paul IV, remarked to the young naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi that Conrad Gessner’s book On Fish would soon be available in Italy, “even though it cannot be read without a license from the inquisitors since all of his works are reprobate.” Aldrovandi and Salviani had exchanged letters for several years on the topic of fish, about which the two physicians were preparing books.

Quarantine rule breakers in 17th-century Italy partied all night – and some clergy condemned the feasting
A remote area visited by tourists and cruises, and home to fishing villages, is about to be visited by a devastating tsunami. A wall of rock exposed by a receding glacier is about crash into the waters below. Glaciers hold such areas together — and when they're gone, bad stuff can be left behind. The Barry Glacier gives its name to Alaska's Barry Arm Fjord, and a new open letter forecasts trouble ahead.

Forbidden Knowledge
Reviews "Wonderful. . . . [The book] offers and provokes meditation on the timeless nature of censorship, its practices, its intentions and, perhaps especially, its (unintended) outcomes. . . . Forbidden Knowledge also makes an important intervention in the debate about Counter-Reformation Italy, still often represented as dominated by repressive Catholic institutions. Marcus' study of the censorship of medical texts reveals a much richer picture. . . .
We are responsible for the algorithm | Opinion
This summer’s exam results brought the question of algorithmic bias to the fore. But algorithms do not exist in a vacuum. I’ve been thinking a lot about my A-level results of late. I had one of the ‘old-school’ style re-mark situations, back in the time before The Machines got involved. I dramatically under-performed on two of my best subjects. In my re-mark, one of my papers went up by 32 marks, getting me the grades I needed for my first choice university. The other didn’t change.
Galileo's Lessons for Living and Working through a Plague
The novel coronavirus has upended our world over the past several months, forcing people to learn how to work in entirely new ways. For scientists in particular, Isaac Newton has repeatedly been held up as a model of epidemic-induced productivity because he spent his 1666 “year of miracles” avoiding the plague in the English countryside and developing his ideas on gravity, optics and calculus.
Galileo’s Lessons for Living and Working through a Plague
The novel coronavirus has upended our world over the past few months, forcing people to learn how to work in entirely new ways. For scientists in particular, Isaac Newton has repeatedly been held up as a model of epidemic-induced productivity, since he spent his 1666 “year of miracles” avoiding the plague in the English countryside and developing his ideas on gravity, optics and calculus.
