Teletubby 137,770 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Lorde has donated $120,000 to climate change science in Antarctica to support research. Three $40,000 scholarships will be awarded over three years to advance the understanding and promote protection of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. “This scholarship will help us support the right people into Antarctic science, and ensure the pressing problems facing society will continue to be addressed”, said Professor Ian Hawes, from Waikato University, who met Lorde in Antarctica. “When people first visit Antarctica, they’re usually a little overawed by the place, and sometimes that is as far as it goes. “But when Ella returned we had a chance to talk about it, and it was obvious thought deeply about what she’d seen and experienced. It was clear she really wanted to do something to help.” Lorde is also performing on Friday night at a fundraising concert to raise money for the victims of Cyclone Gabrielle. All the profits are being donated to The Red Cross New Zealand Disaster Fund. source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
