Can we move from prescience to true preparedness & responsiveness? Explored on #sustainwhat with @RodSchoonover @Alice_C_Hill - aka the "page 21 effect" (experts note threats, deciders acknowledge, & all move on) Again today, 4:30 ET @ianbremmer @burkese!> https://t.co/jDOECvwWvC

Just learned my colleague and fellow former @AAAS_STPF @TicoraVJones was just named Chief Scientist of @USAID. Well deserved — congrats, Ticora!!

RELEASE: The Council on Strategic Risks Significantly Expands Its Ecological Security Program https://t.co/4Cf3wPEx6m

[Erin Fitzgerald-Rey @ErinFitzRey]

@RodSchoonover It bookends interestingly with this being the last week of school, while the year (and COVID-delayed school year) started with early evacuation on January 6. :-/ Great school, tough year

An imperfect messenger but a vitally important message. Please share.

[Natural Security @USNaturalSec]

Due to unsustainable human activities, our #biosphere is rapidly destabilizing, fraying the ecological fabric upon which global #supplychains depend. @CSRisks’s new report, “The Security Threat That Binds Us,” outlines what the U.S. can do about it: https://t.co/735qOzoBiD

@MiaMBloom @tedcruz @andersoncooper Ack, I just happened to open Twitter (rare) and saw this, 15 minutes too late. Would have liked to have seen and cheered you on!

[Shiloh Fetzek @shiloh_fetzek]

We should all be mentioning the #climatecrisis and #ecologicalcrisis in one breath.
Both have #security repercussions - important new work from @RodSchoonover @ChristineCava15

[Erin Fitzgerald-Rey @ErinFitzRey]

I have many colleagues who, still, don’t see how climate change and ecological degradation affect our national security interests. This report will change that. Worth a read! @DoDMinerva potential too

[Madeleine Albright @madeleine]

For women in national security, the era of waiting has ended — now is the time for doing. I am proud to support @lc_wins and this important initiative

[Tanya 수정 Tarr, MS NBC-HWC 😎 @nerdette]

Give people space to let everyone grieve however they need to.

Also give yourself a beat and a breath before you reply to someone's tweet.

May we all find authentic ways to anchor in to what is protective and true to us right now.

Good article featuring important terrorism research by ARTIS Intl -- @ScottAtran,@NafeesHamid,+colleagues. I visited these Barcelona research sites in 2012 (no window jumping) and couldn't have been more thrilled to have @DoDMinerva supporting the work. https://t.co/WZa87yfEpK

A fantastic idea from Vilnius: shut down roads so that cafes can expand outside and put distance between tables. https://t.co/jqinyv5QRM

Help wanted from NatSec practitioners and military members/vets! @mchorowitz and I are fielding a short survey on NatSec decision-making. The survey is anonymous, takes 8-10 mins. We’d love your inputs! Thx!

Sure, if you flipped a switch overnight, that would be one thing.

But opening up a limited segment of businesses that are fairly strictly adhering to social distancing protocols while many people stay home anyway... the data will probably not be precise enough to tease that out.

[Erin Fitzgerald-Rey @ErinFitzRey]

Don’t go crazy, but this is worth considering. Especially with the follow up.

NOT saying I support these lifted restrictions in any way. But the data is going to be ambiguous for a while, and claiming otherwise will undermine legitimate arguments.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I'd be careful about trying to dunk on states that may be lifting certain restrictions, because the impact, although not trivial, may get lost amidst the noise/uncertainty, and you're setting yourself up for "See, State X tried *this* and it wasn't the disaster people claimed."
