In order to see the eclipse, everyone will need to wear special glasses with solar filters or watch through a pinhole projector. Attempting to look at the eclipse without proper protection risks serious eye damage. Chair of Rochester Regional Health’s Depar...

The study authors modeled 226 ski areas in four regional ski markets in the U.S. to predict what the country’s ski industry may look like without influences from climate change, such as a loss of snow and the need to make artificial snow, as w...
By Isaac White. Over the last year and change of my wonderful weekly missives to all of you, we’ve discussed some movies and TV series that focus on Onkwehonwe. Which makes sense, right? I’m Akwesasronon and I suspect most of you reading this are as well. So it’s natural to talk about Natives in movies this week as the Oscar awards were just presented.
