A day that burns into one’s memory for sure. I showed up at my research lab at UF to be told by some other students that a plane crashed into one...
The talk of 20% tariffs on one side and federal bans on price gouging on the other left me feeling rather queasy about the economy all around.
Even if they went harder after Trump than Harris, some questions deserve to be asked. When one of your campaign promises is to deport 11M people,...

Determining precisely how much climate forcing comes from all environmental factors is a major scientific challenge indeed. In the 2010s, it...
