Residents of Berlin are using the app ”Water your Neighborhood“ to save urban trees from heat stress. The open-source platform tracks hydration needs for 900k+ trees, turning street care into a community win 🌿💚 www.giessdenkiez.de/map?lang=en&...

On my monthly work travel from Switzerland to Berlin by train, making it a ~10 hr journey. Why by train? I work on climate innovation & climate tech. So I can’t be commuting to Berlin by plane. Slow travel is better for the planet.

Excited to join the launch of the Climate Robotics Working Group, organized by MassRobotics! Kicking off with a fruitful panel discussion on challenges and opportunities, featuring the speakers below. I launched the Climate Robotics Network in 2023, and it's energizing to see this space grow! 🙌

Many moons ago, while studying classical Arabic in the old Medina of Fez in Morocco, I came across a saying that I’ve used ever since: “La shukran 'ala wajib" (لا شكر على واجب) “No need to thank me, it is my duty.”

Thank you to Search-and-Rescue Teams for doing what you do best 🙏 ps. We submitted multiple grant proposals to expand the Nepali-led, early-warning initiative between 2016 and 2018, but without success.

Surface water robots would measure lake depths, slope steepness, lake-floor topography, the materials they're made of, and detect any structural cracks. I'm heartbroken by the news coming from Nepal-Tibet. My heart goes out to all the families, friends, and loved ones touched by this tragedy. 💔

I gave a TEDx talk 10 years ago, warning about the "Tsunamis of the Himalaya" and sharing our plans to monitor glacial lakes at risk of unleashing these glacial flash floods. The idea was simple enough: use swimming robots to detect tsunami risks. TEDx talk: lnkd.in/eZSEffMK 🧵

“... I find myself happy to be going nowhere…” Love these lines from Patrick Bringley’s book “All the Beauty in the World.” Patrick was a guard at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) for 10 years. In these lines, he recounts the time a businessman took a work call in the middle of an exhibit.

Move your Bluesky account to Eurosky. Super easy and no need to change apps. I moved to Eurosky and am posting this just like I did before, via the Bluesky app. Later, if you want, you can use your Eurosky login to get on mu.social, which gives you additional features like an edit button!

82 years ago today, American, British, Canadian & Commonwealth troops landed on the beaches of Normandie. In the air, were Polish, Czech & Norwegian airmen. The French resistance waited in occupied France. A truly global stand against Fascism.

"Weapons are one thing, but Europe’s best resource is its people." Spot on. The focus should be on civilian preparedness & resilience, coupled with lessons from nonviolent action. A people-centered approach is more powerful than a weapons-centered one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I think it is really worth reading this piece on RSI at Anthropic. There is a bit of navel-gazing, some marketing, and a lot of very sincere beliefs about what Anthropic thinks is likely in the near future of AI that you probably want to be aware of. www.anthropic.com/institute/re...

You guys know that Elysium movie with Matt Damon? The one where all the rich live on a beautiful orbiting space station and leave everyone else rotting on the surface of a collapsing planet Earth? Pretty sure that’s now actively the goal of our ultra-rich and they’ll do anything to achieve it.
