I write in @TheWireScience about some of the notable challenges to groundwater consumption and drinking water access in urban India and how it could be addressed.

Why does greedy & terrified Trump care about Venezuela?

It’s not about “narco-terrorism.”

It’s about

304 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL

That’s the ONLY real reason Venezuela matters.

Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.

The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?

Venezuela.

Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.

It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.

It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.

@RomanSaini congratulations. You are probably the first "Ed tech" company to fire an employee who tells students to vote for educated leaders. Clearly, you place a very low premium on the value of education.

We are an education platform that is deeply committed to imparting quality education. To do this we have in place a strict Code of Conduct for all our educators with the intention of ensuring that our learners have access to unbiased knowledge.

Our learners are at the centre of everything we do. The classroom is not a place to share personal opinions and views as they can wrongly influence them. In the current situation, we were forced to part ways with Karan Sangwan as he was in breach of the Code of Conduct.

Dangerous and reckless driving by #secretariatvehicle. Are such vehicles above the law? It almost collided into my bike twice. Here you can see this vehicle blocking the free left near Bhikajicama Flyover towards Africa Avenue. @DelhiPolice @dtptraffic request your kind action.

Read about the man who is probably the reason why you are alive. Thank you @amitangshu for writing this.

On #GlobalHandwashingDay, remembering Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, the first Western scientist who established that unwashed hands spread diseases. Sadly, derided for not being 'scientific enough', he was beaten to death in a mental asylum in #Vienna in 1865.

@amitangshu It has been truly educative to read this. It is inspiring as much as it is heartbreaking. Thank you for writing this.

When will clean water become a political issue in India?

"...63 of UP's 75 districts have fluoride above the permissible limit and 25 districts are affected by high arsenic, shows 2019 data of the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation."

An estimated 4.5 billion people worldwide live without access to safely managed sanitation, putting them at risk of infectious diseases. Climate change exacerbates these risks by placing strain on sanitation systems.
