I had a wonderful time speaking with my friend and colleague Kellie Macpherson for her new series, #WomenInRenewablesWednesday. We talked all things resiliency, working in #climatepolicy the past few months, and navigating #burnout.

I absolutely loved this book. My great grandmother unfortunately passed from TB in rural Ireland, and I had no idea how difficult access to treatment still is for far too many people. It was truly eye opening.

So the Trump admin wants to shut down the #MaunaLoaObservatory, home of @keelingcurve.bsky.social, which has provided continuous CO2 data since the 1950's.

I've used it in enviro/land use planning for similar reasons. It's great to have a visual tool to quickly show agencies/clients the (simplified) impact of their decisions in real time.

8 ways the National Science Foundation supports our troops Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is usually associated with supporting scientists who go on to win Nobel Prizes, leading exploration of the planet'sโ€ฆ

Destroying the NIH's vaccine research could impact US military capability in the event of a pandemic like that of 1918 that killed 45,000 US troops. Similarly, destroying the NSF could affect US military capability.
