My amazing friend Steph Wheen founded @Gympanzees UK to give disabled kids access to play, sport, & community. On June 16 (in 12 days!), they launch a crowdfunder to build the UK’s 1st inclusive health & activity centre. They've raised £5M—this push gets it built! Info: gympanzees.org 💙 More soon.
🚨@GympanzeesUK just dropped a teaser ahead of their crowdfunder launch on June 16—I’m so proud to support it! 💜

NEW: Mud Matters. Dr Sophie Ward et al. show how ancient tides shaped carbon-rich deep-sea mud sinks storing CO₂ for 1000s of yrs. 📉If disturbed, they could release carbon into the atmosphere—worsening warming.

Picture this - A child misses their friend’s birthday party - not by choice, but because their disability makes it inaccessible. Picture having to explain that to them, again.

Changes in biophysical conditions and energetic resource supply across depths are predicted to promote or limit the abundance of different coral reef benthic groups. However, the degree to which regional differences in biophysical processes govern and ...
