The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: https://t.co/qN1SqCfFt1

The newly announced pay gap measures are a good start but they don't go far enough, we deserve the same pay for the same work! https://t.co/jNFJKjcREZ

No response from @niwa_nz or @blakenewzealand . The web page says "Placed in remote locations around New Zealand, the BLAKE Ambassadors programme offers unique opportunities to young people to contribute to important projects while advancing their career opportunities." 🤔 1/3
@niwa_nz @blakenewzealand Are these paid roles? Neither the linked web page nor the application mention anything about remuneration. If not paid, then this programme has all the issues of unpaid internships that the programme partners should be fully aware of in 2023.
