I published a children's book today — Chester's Way.

Here's a Q&A about the book, much of which was inspired by my work @UCLAIoES

I hope this will change, but I think it is going to continue. Research organizations need to tell their own stories, build their own audiences. They can’t rely on external media alone.

[David Colgan @LA_Colgan]

Our experts are constantly asked to weigh in on these same old stories — leading to capacity issues — but when truly groundbreaking research comes out, no one comes knocking (unless the research happens to line up with traditional environmental news narratives).

🐿️ I wrote a children's book called Chester's Way about an adventurous, unusual squirrel — it is now beautifully illustrated across 52 full-color pages by Niara Fullard. 🐿️

The book will be available for pre-sale in a month or so. Here's a near-final sneak peek of a few pages.

@averyscaredcat Get thy comeuppance on the low road

@averyscaredcat They had a PSA video about puberty called “What’s Happening to Me” that was a laugh-out-loud riot. Sample line:

“Sometimes at night you might dream a special dream… and you wake up with sticky pajamas!”

[UCLA Environment @UCLAIoES]

Fact Check: Wrong ❌

Volcanoes emit just 1/60th of the CO2 humans emit per year

“[Volcanic emissions are] not the same as what we’re doing, which is 365 days a year ... for decades and decades and decades"

@averyscaredcat This is how I used to draw future cars when I was 5

@guyfromsanmateo @GavinNewsom About $0.60 cents of taxes is not the primary reason gas prices are high

[David Colgan @LA_Colgan]

@mikeytag it's funny but entire law school classes are devoted to performing effective searches of online databases

[David Colgan @LA_Colgan]

I want to draw attention to this important research from @MichaelRoss7, which you may have missed amid elections/#COP27.

After looking at decades of global data, gas taxes and cutting subsidies almost never last.

It's time to try other strategies.
