  • Boston’s ‘wicked’ high tide

    Boston’s ‘wicked’ high tide
    Nov 5 2024

    The King Tide rolled into Boston on Saturday, Oct. 19, flushing harbor water through the concrete seawall at Long Wharf, where climate activists gathered to protest the state legislature’s inaction on a climate bill.

    King Tides are created by the moon’s orbit and have been happening for millenia. But rising sea levels exacerbate flooding during these tidal events, and experts say that since the start of the industrial revolution ocean levels in Boston have already risen ten inches.

  • A Different Tune: The women reforming jazz

    A Different Tune: The women reforming jazz
    May 6 2024

    Jazz has long been a male dominated genre, embracing female vocalists but rarely female bassists, drummers, and other musicians. In Sudbury, an all-female ensemble, Women in World Jazz, is playing a different tune — one of progress and inclusion.
