Thirsty and Gassy A.I. has serious energy–water–climate implications. But without a uniform way to quantify A.I. energy-water use, it's hard to distinguish breakthroughs from greenwashing.

It's #COP30 (this week and next), and world leaders have another opportunity to negotiate agreements to address, among other things, “thirsty” and “gassy” A.I. use.

I know we’re all political reporters now 😢but incredible to hear Nobelist and UChicago chemist Jack Szostak tell us about the rna world and origin of life at #SciWri25. Remember to nerd out. 🤓🤓🤓

Y’know, I really had a goddamn delightful time at #SciWri25. I learned some great stuff from other speakers, we had soooo many laughs at our panel & I saw friends I haven’t seen in ages.

PLUS I talked to some younger folks in the industry who challenged my thinking.

10/10, see ya next year ✌🏻🤓

Hopefully not! We'll be working on transport.

Thank you for this beautiful summary of the #SciWri community!

Still processing all I took in at #SciWri25, but I know one thing: Science writers are crazy inspiring and determined people who will never stop seeking and sharing the facts. So grateful to learn from them, thanks to the huge efforts of @sciencewriters.org and @sciencewriting.bsky.social.

“Deciding the line between non-life and life is not interesting. What’s important is the process.” Great talk by Jack Szostak at #SciWri25

Pro tip for #sciwri #sciencewriters meeting: tie a knot in your lanyard so your name tag is near your face & won’t flip around & nobody has to do the awkward navel gaze to read it

want to be on TikTok to communicate science but "not good at TikTok"? Collaborate with someone who *is* good at it. We don't have to be good at everything, says Rudy Molinek. #sciwri25 🧪
