Sowing Hope: A Forest Dream Based on Motherhood and Advocacy . Content Warning.
I have always felt a deep connection to the earthly symphony that nature plays, even as a young woman. The sound of rustling leaves whispering secrets to the wind, vivid greens filling my dreams, and the comforting lullaby of invisible birds chirping. So, it should come as no surprise that I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I saw our planet's emerald embrace slowly fading.

Renewable Energy in the Middle East: A revolution in the making
The UAE, the 6th largest oil producer in the world was the first leading Middle East energy producer to host the Climate Conference of the Parties COP28. The global summit, attended by over 160 word leaders, was not only successful in bringing the decision makers together, but also succeeded in advancing 2050 NetZero negotiations (a near future with zero carbon emission). The UAE leadership is resulting in stronger climate mitigation actions and investment from energy producers. This new leadership is also based on a clearer understanding of the climate risk in the region, as MENA is one of the world’s regions most affected by climate change and variability (IAE 2023), both in terms of GDP losses and loss of competitiveness. This positive change is based in oil and gas rich Arab countries' visions documents, aiming to diversify their economies away from hydrocarbons.

Stories untold
Over the span of the last century, the infamous Bermuda Triangle has played host to a series of perplexing disappearances involving both ships and aircraft. This enigmatic region, extending from the Bermuda Islands to Florida and Puerto Rico, covering an expansive 805,000 square kilometers, has become a focal point for scientific investigation due to its mysterious and dramatic events. Notably, the Bermuda Triangle has witnessed incidents where ships, though intact, are discovered without a soul on board, casting an eerie shadow over the Rubicon in 1944 and the Friendship Rosalia in 1840, frozen in temporal suspension with untouched meals awaiting vanished sailors.

Why is Evolution a Theory and Not a Law?
Folks, I have a pet peeve. The argument “Evolution is just a theory” absolutely drives me up the wall. When I chose evolutionary science as my focus in college, I figured that I’d need to be equipped to explain the evidence and educate folks in everyday life. Even with that preparation, though, I underestimated just how often I’d hear that specific phrase. It’s unnervingly common. When speaking with those who do not believe in the mechanism, it’s commonly one of the first arguments uttered upon discovery of the “Evolutionary” part of my educational journey. Well, it’s either that or “Climate Change isn’t real” — but I’ll save that rant for another article.
