National Academies of Science panel finds that: The EPA was right in 2009 (when it found that climate change driven by society’s emissions of greenhouse gases are endangering human health & lives), and that everything we've learned since has only made it more right. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Despite congressional threat, National Academies releases new climate report
Things have changed since 2009: We’re more certain about the problems.

Taught a water governance class today and finished activity #1 early. Asked students if they wanted to leave early. They declined. The kids, people. They’re okay.

Working on a collaborative paper with a group of established researchers- biophysical and social- is both exhausting and exhilarating. We are the present and future of science and we will keep marching on.

Great first day of the semester. “Did you read the syllabus” 15 students: “yes!” “Are you sure” “yes” “Madison, tell them why I’m bringing you KitKats next week” “because I read the syllabus” 😂 Qualitative methods here we go! #firstclass #teaching #spring2025

After so many years of working at the intersection of environment and society, it’s fascinating to me that some folx still don’t see how, or question whether, they’re interconnected (read: inseparable). The work continues.

Aurora Kagawa-Viviani, U of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa; member of Hawaiʻi Commission on Water Resource Management shared a quote from their work that I love + feel like many will appreciate: “If the water could scream it would be the voice of the people we hear” #AAG2024 #waterjustice

The balance of federal research, university teaching, and side projects is hard- but fabulously hard. I love the mix of teaching folks the policy process in the morning and then designing research to address policy challenges in the afternoon. So grateful for rockin’ collaborators and colleagues. ❤️

Working for an EPA Research Center is like working at a Research Coop - even the higher ups are researchers and super supportive and collaborative— and everyone complains about literature database limitations 🤣 Also it’s the tundra. But the lake views are 💯

Skimming vessels are working to contain and recover oil from a spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast, which is estimated to be at least 1.1 million gallons. The spill is the latest in an area that has seen some of the worst offshore oil disasters in the nation’s history.

As they work to contain the spill off the Louisiana coast, authorities are trying to determine if a pipeline was the source.

Lack of water worsens misery in besieged Gaza as Israeli airstrikes continue
In the besieged Gaza Strip, 2.3 million people don’t have access to clean, running water because of Israel’s decision to cut off water and electricity to the enclave while pounding it with airstrikes.

Pleasantly surprised that one of my required trainings for work was on climate adaptation. Unfortunately for those of us who have done any work on adaptation, it was very very boring.
