ICYMI: April 7 – Inundation District, spring orchestra concert and the “Houthi PC small group” leaks
On Tuesday April 1, Boston Globe journalist and Boston University professor David Abel answered questions about his award-winning film “Inundation District.” The film delved into the risks of extreme floods the Seaport region of Boston is facing amidst commercial development. Abel was inspired by his climate studies that revealed grave statistics. “I have covered report after report after report with projections about how our seas are likely to rise over the coming decades,” Abel said. “And it would seem, as I would get each new report, that the worst case projections would only get [more] dire. That left me feeling like this was a really significant story that needs to be told in ways that are hard to just tell in print.”

With about half of surveyed students visiting Starbucks at least once a week, it’s clear that Wayland is caught in the $7 drink chokehold, but what makes these drinks so desirable?

Is that first sip feeling worth it?
