[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday.

A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths.

Past progress is proof of future potential.

When you think ‘lake’ you might envision a circular body of water 🔵, but #DYK that most lakes aren’t very circular?

The circularity of named lakes in the U.S. are shown here. Lake Cumberland? Def not a circle 😅

For the 15th week of the year, we highlight the 15th element—Phosphorus! #Phosphorus is essential to all life, including humans, animals, plants, and microbes. It is an essential element in human diets and is the nutrient in fertilizers that leads to plant growth and crop yields.

[STEPS Center @STEPS_STC]

Next week is the 15th week of 2023. We thought it would be fun to highlight our favorite element of the periodic table—the 15th element, #Phosphorus, all next week.

Stay tuned for great content to learn more about phosphorus and our Center's mission of phosphorus sustainability!

We are already experiencing the consequences of our warming world & are now at a climate crossroads.
The choices we make now will determine the future experiences of those already alive, and those yet to be born.

If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

While my world revolves around data and models, my friend Mrinal Roy's PhD is all about finding innovative ways to remove groundwater arsenic efficiently... loved understanding his work in his field experiments 😊😊😊!!!!
