I was chatting on a text thread with a group of teachers and administrators last week when one of the high school admin types casually mentioned that her first day back with students had gone pretty well. Seriously!? Cue my stunned surpise.

I was in my twenties when I began my career as a child trauma psychotherapist on the south side of Chicago, right around the corner from the neighborhood where I grew up. As a young therapist at an outpatient psychotherapy practice, I was excited and thrilled to work in my community with a majority of my clients being Black children and families. As a Black therapist, it was easier for me to empathize with them; in the process, I learned a lot about the prevalence of abuse, neglect and complex t

For some nostalgic fans, the four images below prove that professional tennis is dead — at least as a spectator sport. Taken over the past half-century, they map changes in the pattern of wear and tear on the turf at Wimbledon’s Centre Court during the annual tournament. The 1970 picture ( top left ) shows the grass played to a pulp all over the court, from baseline to net.

Inside a small, mural-covered building just outside Indianola, Mississippi, 14-year-old Tamorris Carter made the rounds, bouncing lightly on his heels.

Among these finds is an astonishingly small adult limb bone, which dates back approximately 700,000 years. These findings offer critical insights into the evolutionary history of Homo floresiensis , the diminutive 'Hobbits' whose remains were first uncovered in 2003 at Liang Bua cave on Flores.

I've spent years carefully cultivating my Twitter network since I joined in April 2008. I helped persuade the GA to have an account when I started working there in September 2008 (they joined in December that year). It was February 2009 before the RGS started their account. For the first decade and more my tweets were protected, and every person who wanted to follow me was checked - were they a) real and b) interested in geography?

Keeping everything crossed that this happens as the alternative is not worth thinking about for the planet. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been named as the running mate for Kamala Harris in the US elections. The extra bonus is that he was, amongst a lot of other things, a social studies (AKA geography) teacher, and a self-confessed 'map nerd' and 'GIS nerd' - being an early adopter of the technology.
