A good piece of advice for science communication… If you want to connect with professions and experts, focus on writing. If you want to connect with novices, videos are probably best. Here’s some data supporting this: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

The biosphere is in our guts, on our skin and in our breathing. Most people think of the biosphere as the natural world around them. But few consider the nature that is found within them. A new research article from the Centre explores how organisms interact in the web of life.

Level 2 at home! Super easy and many utilities and states have incentives. Not that expensive. Like $500 for charger and $900 installation. If u get an EV that accommodates two way charging, get a two way charger installed as well. Leasing is the way to go right now - worth it, do it!

Granholm's point is blunt: 70% of IRA factory announcements landed in red America — and almost nobody knew. If clean energy is going in people's homes, they need to know where it came from.

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.
“On her view, Congress could commandeer the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, most (if not all) of the Department of Justice, and a number of other agencies besides. Indeed, if Slaughter were correct, then it is not clear why Congress would need to allow the President any say in firings at all”
