I’m interested in law & policy, con law, admin law, and emergency management. Views are mine alone.

Alaska was hit by remnants of Typhoon Halong, and is experiencing flooding. Over a thousand displaced people - and we are barely hearing about it.

Check out this inspiring short documentary on a heat recovery project in Yakutat, Alaska.

This is a solution that keeps multiple community buildings warmer AND saves millions over the next two and a half decades. From RPC member @AKCenter

USDA extended the comment period on its plan to reorganize the agency.

If your org hasn't done so already, you have until the end of September to email a comment to [email protected] and urge @SecRollins to reconsider for the sake of Rural America

@huzzahmpls I’ve heard the cotton seed has been epic up there this year!

Climate is deemed responsible for around a third of all heat-related newborn deaths in some countries. Recognising the link is an important first step https://t.co/uRhUjGTSY2

Heat index in Houston is 111. Air conditioning demand is high. Gas & coal plant outages are up sharply. But prices in Texas are the lowest in the country ($20/MWh). Why? Texas' nation leading solar resources are generating >30% of the power needed on peak. #txlege #txenergy

So proud of our SEMO alums!

It’s always great to hear how our recent grads are adjusting to life away from SEMO! Here’s a bit on Miracle’s 1L @ SLU Law! ⚖️

[Laura Hatcher @LJH1969]

We have a beautiful day here in Cape. The storms yesterday did not hit us, but the damage north of Sikeston in Scott County, the damage in Iron County, as well as the damage in STL are on our minds.

Records terminations at SEMO leave international students facing loss of legal status.
