I like the "Pure Science" episode of The Print. It's really enriching. The lady not only has good scientific knowledge but also good at articulation. The exoskeleton built by the corals is made of Aragonite, a form of CaCo3, and hence is the framework of Aragonite crystals. H20+CO2 =H2CO3(carbonic acid) just reminds our Chemistry classes. Really bleaching is a serious event, we need to protect them collectively with concerted efforts. Thanks to team: Print".

Hi Sandhya, applied to ThePrint Journalism school a few hours ago. The email says someone will reach out but nothing has happened yet. The first cohort starts in may. Any ideas when someone will reach out to me? thanks.

Total nightmare, I remember going to Bali 25 years ago and there were so many corals that hotels used to decorate their front walls with them. Now u can't see them in the shallow waters
