love this approach — hope to see more of this in the future. nuclear power should be in everybody’s backyards. https://t.co/TLkIalbrmx

Harmony Water uses batch RO (Reserve Osmosis) to save energy and increase the affordability of inland desalination #mitwip2020 #waterinnovation

Would you rather be underconfident or overconfident? Both to the same degree.

.@tomaspueyo provides a sobering look at where we might be headed, and then lays out our most effective tools 🔨💃 for saving millions of lives.

A masterclass in science-policy communication. Chart 16 is my favorite.

New Article!

Summary: Strong #coronavirus measures today should only take a few weeks, there wouldn’t be a peak of infections afterwards, and it can all be done for a reasonable cost to society, saving millions of lives along the way.

@tomaspueyo Thank you for another great article, and for the masterclass in effective science policy communication. Chart 16 is my favorite (besides the thumbnail image).

@nathanvarady @zoom_us @awscloud I’m not so sure about that -- but hope I’m wrong!

[Quantum Wei @QuantumWei]

@nathanvarady @zoom_us I’ve heard Zoom (and others like Google) are struggling with the increased loads.

@JetBlue @socalpunks @mikelupin I am also having this issue. Can’t book through the app either

@LaurenGoode Assuming 10 L of H2O/day and a 10yr lifetime, Source water costs 12 cents/L. This is ~100x more expensive than tap water. Useful in some cases, but not for everyone.

@DrJimWalshMIT thanks for coming today. You said nukes were rational for NK 🐘🐭🐘but not your go-to. what would you have suggested instead?

#stpp_mit big tech firms may want strong regs here- compliance would be costly for small firms, reducing competition https://t.co/v7W8yEvG1S

I just hope that everyone who blasted McCain the other day after his vote to simply have discussion on the bill feels good today.

Please read. This problem is more important, longer-lasting, and less tractable than President Trump. https://t.co/UPNSoazO1p

@Marcia4Science great talk today! Any advice for a grad student interested in science advisory as a career option?

@BostonGlobe I'd really like to learn more about the old man's life and less about the gunman's life in the next couple days..
