“When things are out of your control, what are you going to do?” Cordelia said. “We’re all going to die. I’m probably going to die sooner than I would have.”
The US will soon learn how bad its PFAS crisis is. But Maine has already begun to look—and is waking up to a nightmare. For @TheAtlantic I spoke to a family realizing they drank toxic water for 30 years, and what it may have cost them. Maine is a warning:

Tribal groups are trying to remove dairy from USDA guidelines as most of the world is lactose-intolerant. But that's not going over well in the Dairy State. My latest for @journalsentinel: https://t.co/v9edu1xQb2

The next round of USDA dietary guidelines will take effect from 2025 to 2030.

Over and over again, Harvard rejected claims by Wabanaki tribes that human remains in its collections were their ancestors. Turns out Harvard had been using those remains for destructive DNA research & hadn’t told the tribes. New by @marymhudetz @ashnguuu
propublica.org
The university’s Peabody Museum exploited loopholes to prevent repatriation to the Wabanaki people while still staying in compliance with NAGPRA. The tribes didn’t give up.

2023 was our hottest year ever--so hot, in fact, that scientists are "astonished" and unable to fully explain the anomalies. Yes, El Niño played a role, but that's not the whole picture. My latest at @AGU_Eos:
2023 was a scorcher. “We’re frankly astonished,” said @NASAGoddard’s @ClimateOfGavin.

Even after precipitation returns to a region, river baseflow can take years to recover, according to research from scientists at @UCRiverside, with comments from Jeffrey Mount @PPICWater, Olivia Miller @USGS, @AjamiHoori & Sanghyun Lee. Story by @GVD__. https://t.co/9PhqWFvhqN

Climate change has created increasingly volatile weather and a drier atmosphere, making it harder for rivers to recuperate after a drought.
