Interesting article. Hiking in the wild, like I do, where there are no trails and sparse cell access, requires caution and preparation. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/m...

Got on a great New Years Eve hike in northern NM. Perfect weather - temps in the mid 20s, sunny, light wind. Great way to wrap up 2024!

Christmas Day hike in Northern New Mexico, at right around 10,000 feet elevation. Got back to my cabin just before the snow started to fly. Hoping to get snowed in. Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas!

With friends, I rebuilt a ‘95 HD Dyna and made “Stella”. Learned a lot about how creative engineering works (or doesn’t) in the process. Miss that bike! #motorcycles

Riding my Harley in the mountains of northern NM clears my head. What do you do to blow off stress and spark creativity?

What are we chasing that demands we crash heedlessly forward, as if life itself might expire if we pause? We’re wearing ourselves thin, burning ourselves out—running toward what, exactly?

"There is no climate crisis, and we're not in the midst of an energy transition either…We have seen no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or floods despite endless fear mongering of the media, politicians and activists," he also said in the video.

One more thing, then I’ll shut up for the day: what are the best rock songs for public policy in dark times? I’d nominate The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. youtu.be/SHhrZgojY1Q?...

North Rim of the GC. A little harder to get to, but well worth it.

Research in public policy and psychology has demonstrated that emotions like fear, anger and hope shape public policy. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Given that emotions drive collective decisions, can institutions channel those emotions in ways that lead to sustainable policies?

Hi, I’m Hank, a public policy professor with a passion for tackling wicked problems like climate change and political polarization. When I’m not working on research or leading teams, you’ll find me hiking, motorcycling, or diving into science fiction. Let’s connect!
