theguardian.comWetlands tabling ideas for college
Hi! I run a wetlands club at my university and am brainstorming ideas for tabling that are attention-grabbing and educational, but not so academic that it scares people off. So far I have:
- Dissecting scope with dishes with wetland plants/algae (live animals not allowed)
- Wetland plants in pots, soft needlerush (Juncus effusus) in water so the full length of its roots can be shown, mangrove propagules
- Refractometer demonstration with fresh, brackish, and salt water
- Tools we use in wetland fieldwork (potentially!): quadrat square, mini soil corer, porewater sipper, with demonstrations
I'd love some more suggestions! I feel pretty plant-biased at the moment haha

bsky.appIn 1970 a computer predicted global warming would end all life on earth by 2050. Is this prediction still accurate?
Hello. Hope its okay asking. But a few years ago I found a video online called "computer predicts the end of civilisation" and the video is a 1970s news broadcast showing how things are going to go if humanity doesn't do anything about the amount of pollution we're causing. (to my knowledge, not much has been done to fix that) and it said that all life on earth will cease to exist by 2050 if nothing is done.
Im curios to ask since people here will know more about climate change than I do. But is this prediction still accurate? I'm curios.
This is the video btw: https://youtu.be/cCxPOqwCr1I?si=Vwo5nlOmxFXxxLgt

phys.orgCareer suggestions please god help
(Is there any hope for any good paying environmental careers yall know of I’m missing? Btw not good with physics really no engineering for me I think?) Hey, I was recently frantically posting on here trying to find jobs in environmental science, with a bunch fi stipulations and realized it wasn’t realistic so I’ve moved onto trying tk find a career with better pay and better benefits, some of the things I’d LIKE is a chance to work in a team and not be stuck in an office every minute, not statistical, and not a pure desk job. I’m looking into a career that’s interesting,inticimg, hands on and works with a team with good benefits and pay, I know I can’t have it all so a career hat checks some of these box’s would be great! I just need some direction. I’m still in highschool and in the future I’m going to do volenteering with wildlife to fulfill that part of me I think? There’s no future in environmental sciences. I hate that everything I end up liking has shit pay,shit benefits or js isolating ugh. Please help
