Welcome to the 26th volume of WizeWorld, our weekly collection of handpicked stories and sounds to help bolster your sense of wizdom and curiosity. This week is more foreboding than usual, leaning into the more morose, worrisome themes that creep from the fringes and into our purview:
- How earth’s ancient rocks are warning us about climate change.
- The worst university term imaginable for European students.
- A soothing, somber trance of a mix.
- An adopted dog who saved its owners life.
