Happy Earth Day! I was only four years old when the first Earth Day took place. But as I began to work on climate change, I found it inspiring to look back at the photos from April 1970 and learn about what motivated 20 million people to action—and the impact of public mobilization on policy and practice in the years that followed. Many of my friends in the climate movement are understandably cynical about what Earth Day has become today—in many ways, it has been reduced to calls for small indiv

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released its sixth assessment of climate change, comprised of three separate reports presenting the latest science on climate change, related impacts, adaptation, vulnerability , and mitigation at a time when more and more people are pressing for climate action. While many people rightly rely on the IPCC reports for the latest science, it is important to recognize they can also be a powerful tool for bolstering climate litigation.

Machine learning algorithms could one day be used to improve speech recognition in hearing-impaired people, researchers in Germany have shown. Using a novel algorithm, Jana Roßbach and colleagues at Carl von Ossietzky University could accurately predict when people with both normal hearing, and those with different levels of hearing impairment would mishear over 50% of words in a variety of noisy environments – an important test of hearing-aid efficacy.
