The Philadelphia Zoo is America's oldest zoological institution that takes pride in its history of firsts.  Dr. Jo-Elle Mogerman, President and CEO, exemplifies more firsts for the organization including serving as the first woman and first African American woman to hold the top leadership role. She describes how this urban Chicago introvert grew to love nature on her parents' front porch. She is candid about her personal interests which she realized in school did not include remote camping or field work, and the early and long hours of zookeeping.  Rather, her work has largely focused on the people side of the preservation equation, by connecting with diverse audiences through conservation and education.     Animal Care Software

Harvard rechazó las exigencias de Donald Trump, quien condicionó la continuidad de su financiación federal a la implementación de profundas reformas. Como respuesta, el gobierno de Estados Unidos congeló 2.200 millones de dólares en fondos destinados a la universidad mientras la Institución se niega a aceptar las demandas de la Casa Blanca.Claudia Sheinbaum y de su secretario de Agricultura, Julio Berdegué, criticaron la decisión de Donald Trump de imponer aranceles del 20.91% al jitomate mexicano.

PRESS REVIEW – Monday, April 7: French and European papers react to Marine Le Pen's rally in Paris following her sentence which bans her from public office. Next, Donald Trump's tariffs continue to send shockwaves around the world. Also, Australia's upcoming elections are seen under a climate change lense in the papers. Finally, very old tortoises become first-time parents in Philadelphia. French papers are covering Sunday's National Rally gathering in Paris in support of Marine Le Pen following her conviction for embezzlement. Libération calls the rally a "flop" after it saw a relatively small turnout. L'Humanité, meanwhile, calls it a farce. Le Pen had initially announced a demonstration of force, but the paper says the rally did not live up to expectations. The Catholic paper La Croix says that Le Pen has started a "reconquering campaign". A strategy that the paper calls risky, and which could be a bad start for her "banned" presidential campaign.The French papers are not the only ones to be carrying this story. The German broadsheet Frankfurter Allgemeine headlines "With a greeting from Europe's right wing populists". The British paper The Times uses a Le Pen quote in its headline, in which she claims she is France's Martin Luther King.All the papers are continuing to talk about Trump's tariffs. The Guardian brings us the key questions: what happens next and how might the world respond? PBS reports that the White House has been contacted by 50 countries for negotiations. French paper L'Opinion says Europe's dilemma is whether it should negotiate or retaliate. Politico says that French authorities have suggested taxing American digital services. Papers in Asia, meanwhile, are also mulling over responses. The Straits Times tells us that Malaysia wants a coordinated regional response. In Africa, Zimbabwe has opted for a slightly different tactic. The Independent Online says that Zimbabwe has announced it will suspend all tariffs on imported goods from the US. The move is intended to be a gesture of goodwill towards Donald Trump.Some interesting articles are coming out of Australia in the run-up to elections there in May. The Times describes how Cyclone Alfred might have changed the course of the Australian elections. The article says that although the cyclone was not as destructive as planned, it "may have wrecked Liberal leader Peter Dutton's chances of pulling off an historic election victory". Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, meanwhile, has extended his lead in the polls. An opinion piece in the Guardian criticises the absence of climate change and mass extinction in political discussions. It says that although the climate crisis is one of the main concerns of Australians, it is ignored by politicians.Finally, we end with some wholesome news from the Associated Press. Two Galapagos tortoises living at Philadelphia Zoo have become parents for the first time, at almost 100 years old.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Elections leaders hope newly-designed envelopes for mail-in ballots will cut down on voters' mistakes and help more ballots get counted. Students at the University of Scranton have used the solar eclipse to work on a ham radio project for NASA. Visitors to the Philadelphia Zoo had the opportunity to not only view the solar eclipse, but to help scientists find out whether animals sense the phenomenon.  State lawmakers have had a good view of the solar eclipse from the Capitol fountain. Efforts to ban TikTok from government devices have picked up steam in the past year in state legislatures (including Pennsylvania) and Congress even as politicians continue to use it to connect with and expand their base.  Supporters have rallied around the Lancaster Public Library -- by raising enough money to cover the entire donation East Hempfield Township supervisors plan to withhold from the facility to protest a Drag Queen Story Hour.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
