Yesterday we had a Zoom lunch w/ a former PhD student of the lab. He said he has been using my GitHub repo to brush up on his R skills. "It's well put together" he said. I'm so glad to hear that! I wrote these when I was slacking off in the lab. 😂

Climate-induced migration can expose women and girls to health risks such as malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to healthcare.

The government should invest in climate resilience. They should allocate resources to fund programs and initiatives that help communities…
