The entirety of Korean drama is missing (aside from Squid Game). Which is understandable since it’s an American paper surveying mostly American respondents. But the quality and quantity of Korean shows in the last quarter century is so vast their list should really be “100 Best *American TV shows”

The climate bathtub has illustrated the physical dynamics of climate change elegantly for 25 years. With some remodeling it can also shed light on many of climate’s social, economic, and policy challenges. So I added: -multiple faucets -multiple drains -multiple damage thresholds -multiple people

You probably know Sweeney and Sterman's “climate bathtub.” If more water flows into a tub from a faucet (greenhouse gas emissions) than flows out through a drain (removals), then the water level in the tub (atmospheric concentrations) will rise, with eventual consequences when the tub overflows.

I'm thrilled to share our new paper, "Implementation costs of restoring global mangrove forests," published in One Earth! We find that restoring 1.1 million hectares of mangroves globally would remove 0.93 billion tons of carbon dioxide and cost $10.7 billion. www.cell.com/one-earth/fu...

Implementation costs of restoring global mangrove forests

Mangrove forests provide many ecosystem services, prompting a wave of recent mangrove restoration initiatives. Here, we estimate and map the implementation costs of restoring mangroves globally. This ...

Hoover Dam is the Sistine Chapel of dams. Breathtaking in scale, transformed the entire Southwest, an engineering marvel, architecturally and artistically beautiful, historically fascinating, the yardstick against which all other dams are measured… I’d give it a chance.

Relative to NYC they were top tier, among many contenders obviously. Relative to the Bay they were so much better that when we moved here I started baking my own bagels because nothing else compared.

As a spatula user I’m relieved. As a media reader I’m disappointed. As a scientist, there but for the grace of God go I. And as someone with all-new kitchen implements now, well, for cooking blue is also great and will suffice.
