Engineer. Curious about economics of sustainable tech and climate finance.

@Fred__onkundi @Kalasinga_ Where Isaac Newton would have a cuppa with friends in the evening. Cars need Newton's laws to work. Huyu ni semilearned. When children die because of usurious interest rates by the west it is the African who killed them not the usurious tax rates?

@Fred__onkundi @Kalasinga_ Kuku America hulimwa kwa factory. Mimi nataka kuishi na majirani tunapatana jioni and exchange ideas. Tumbo ni generator ya akili sio ati tuinengee penthouse. Every self respecting student of civilisation knows that European cities built civilisation.

@iamverahokeyo Wewe, we all got an altruism😂

@NewSingaporean_ Great tribute! I didn't know about his unconventional journey. I did not anticipate in reading about the passing of someone who has affected so many lives would see me so deeply appreciate that one would take the time to reflect upon this and write about it.

@NickKristof @elonmusk USAID cuts led to $550 million to $80 million drop in funding bolstering the healthcare system in Congo where Tesla gets minerals for it's batteries. We now have the largest Ebola outbreak ever, partly due late detection. Probably contracted in a mineshaft harboring bats.

While Marie Curie is well-known for her Nobel Prizes, few are aware of Maria Goeppert Mayer, the second female physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 for her work on the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei. Her achievement remained relatively overshadowed in the history of physics.

The world’s largest collection of full human genomes has just gone live.

UK Biobank — a repository of health, genomic and other biological data — today released complete genome sequences from every one of the 500,000 British volunteers in the database https://t.co/p5qC39Avvj

Here's a DJ set I recorded live in Berkeley Hills during the Thanksgiving weekend. With gratitude to all my friends who have encouraged and supported me on this musical journey (special thanks are in the description of the set) ❤️

@think_or_swim Feels like an opportune moment to mention we have new Climate Science Translated film out, pre COP28. Feat. Mark Maslin and Jo Brand. Your interaction on the previous one changed the landscape dramatically.... https://t.co/88Jht9yGIl

Stage separation!

Jews are standing up and saying #NotInMyName while Christians in Africa are busy praying for Israel. The colonial project really achieved its objectives.

@BushmanBenO @AfroEconomicus Greedy ex Governor, 2 greedy and arrogant CSs: How can we be beaten by a woman and to add salt to injury, this reja reja hustler type? *grunts in disdain.

Good article by @mark_lynas, digging into the "one billion people will die at 2C warming" claim.

The conclusion is that it's based on shaky (i.e. little credible) evidence.

Note that we don't know what the true figure is (could still be high). Will depend on many factors.

Traditional vaccines introduce a weakened pathogen to help the body develop immunity. mRNA vaccines teach the body to build pathogenic proteins using its own machinery, like an infection dress rehearsal. https://t.co/IY5atfYW5p

Last month was not only the hottest September on record, but the most anomalously warm month on record — temperatures steered even higher in an already off-the-charts year.

I spoke with @hausfath about it: https://t.co/e3QgeGMeSJ

It's the margins.

I made this last night, because this is the most worrying 12 months that I’ve seen in my 15 years as a climate scientist. This is only a small collection of the crazy graphs from this year (part 1 of 2)

[Muturi Ndonga @MuturiNdonga]

In this man has conspired with the gods. So climate justice requires even more aggression than these previous contests. But it has to be aggression in both directions, engaging with the pain and the opportunity. Now this is poetry not policy. What a safe space, I get your point😁

[Muturi Ndonga @MuturiNdonga]

We haven't stopped developing nuclear even as we aggressively pursue a renewable grid. Nuclear is expensive, takes long to develop and it will be a while before we arrive at the right designs that allow us to descend the cost curve, but we're still working on it. A more equal...

[Muturi Ndonga @MuturiNdonga]

100% renewables proponent is one of the most charged contests you will ever witness because they feel the pain of their children. What this climate crisis has visited upon the developing world makes colonialism and slavery look like theme parks. That was only man against man...
