Thanks! I use a clay 3d printer I designed to extrude clay layer by layer to create the objects, which I design in 3d modeling software. There is also a lot of more traditional hand work involved. I've worked with clay for many years www.tomlauerman.com

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Whatever shape this idea might take, I'd love to participate. I'm either close to retirement or several decades away, can be difficult to gauge in academia!

I wish I had dozens of these bell jars for keeping works in progress from drying out. Many thanks to Andrew Castañeda, who gifted me this one
