How NASA Got a ‘ UFO Czar ’ —And Why it Matters
The real czars may be long gone, but for decades, the White House has been doing a good job of keeping the role—or at least the honorific—alive, appointing a director to oversee a particular task or issue, and bestowing the title along with it.

Blog: Climate change is real, destructive and is an absolute emergency
Just acknowledging climate change isn’t enough. And we can’t wait for the Tories to find a politically convenient time to deal with it. We must pull together and champion the urgent action needed to meet this challenge head on. The overwhelming scale of climate-related disasters surrounds us every week, and UNISON is not shying away from facing this existential threat. For those unfamiliar with it, Green UNISON Week means seven days to champion and promote the engagement and activity that UNISON does all year round on tackling climate change. Because for UNISON, it couldn’t be more clear that all areas of public ser...

Since receiving a 5-year, $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2019 to study the reproductive success of Weddell seals in McMurdo Sound, Shero has been sent down for just one, truncated field season.
