Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

Love that the book is coming to Cape Town! Can't wait to see you soon @katiemontalbano.bsky.social

Last year, a 17-year-old high school student named Hannah Cairo solved a 40-year-old math mystery about how waves behave. Here’s how she did it, and what it means for the field: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SNQ...
