Beneath the roar of gunfire and the chaos of D-day, an unlikely hero played a vital role—wetland science, says Christian Dunn (via Phys.org).

Adolf Hitler’s legacy is one of infamy and horror, with his name forever associated with the atrocities of the Holocaust and the devastation of World War II. His rise to power and the events of his regime serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism, xenophobia, and unchecked authoritarianism. He was born on […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.
