In an age of climate disruption, beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. Their restoration helps heal ecosystems impacted by "global weirding," providing a natural remedy for water management issues.

Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman of the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center (OAEC) are "Beaver Believers," leading a global movement to reintroduce these rodents. They advocate for working with nature to restore watersheds, enhance water security, and build climate resilience.

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications.

Handwashing effectively combats coronavirus through a two-pronged attack. The virus possesses a weak outer membrane, which proper handwashing technique, especially with soap, breaks apart. Soap's unique hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties allow it to grab onto the virus and then be rinsed away by water, removing the virus from your hands. Washing for at least 20 seconds is crucial for this process.

Dr. Kate Biberdorf, a scientist and professor at the University of Texas, explains this mechanism. Known for her engaging approach to science, Dr. Biberdorf is also the author of *Kate the Chemist: The Big Book of Experiments*, available here.
