The state of science journalism is dire when I am relying on an employee owned sports website to get the inside story on what happened to @PopSci

Popular Science ends and science journalism keeps shrinking: https://t.co/Zs6N33WLbr

@AtomicCatherine @timechols @businessfrance @WECNuclear @katyhuff @NEI @Exhibition_WNE @JigarShahDC Yup. Show, don’t tell. Trust is built on what we do, not what we say. So IMO trying to convince people starts the dialogue from the wrong side of the table. There is a lot of good work going on now among nuclear operators who bother to listen before they speak.

As a prolific deep-ocean explorer, James Cameron has frequently visited the abyssal plains where #nodules are found. In a new @guardian interview he noted that ‘his time in rarely visited parts of the planet has swayed him in support of deep-sea mining.’

Science journalism is critically important in an era of misinformation and fake news. It is quite encouraging to see one of the best journalists in the field tackle the issue of public fear. From vaccines, climate change, to radiation, there are still reliable ways of knowing.

[Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ @Revkin]

Watch the radiation hype build around tritium releases both in Japan and in the Hudson River, where environmentalists have been quick to amplify public fears around Indian Point decommissioning releases rather than offer actual guidance. The shame there is that the same groups (@riverkeeper) signed on to the decommissioning plan. I still think Spencer Weart's History of #NuclearFear is a vital read https://t.co/ywPvTQ0IvJ, as is @GeorgeMonbiot of course:

This is my third domestic United flight this week and this resonates. They seem to have lost any process to efficiently manage boarding and luggage.

[Laura Hermann @Lillau]

Serious FOMO as I leave the @ANS_org annual meeting early but I’m glad I made it out for two fantastic sessions with the great experts contributing to the Rapid Response Task Force. Thanks to great team @theboxindy for all the technical assistance and hospitality.

[Laura Hermann @Lillau]

@TimMLatimer Teach for America is a great analogy! We are working towards something along these lines within @ANS_org Happy to discuss

[Laura Hermann @Lillau]

Kudos to the team responsible for the full house at the #NuclearNowFilm DC premiere! @TheOliverStone & @GoldsteinJoshua thoughtfully capture its history and why we need nuclear - fission and fusion. Check it out in theaters nationwide

@PoPville Rat snakes make the best pets! Quiet, clean and happy to just hang out on a hot water pipe.

Interesting thread on another of the myths of a hydrogen economy

[Josh Freed @jsfreed]

This is an important reminder on the constraints of repurposing existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure for hydrogen. It can be done, but with severe constraints on how much hydrogen can be transported.

@DWaltersdorfer @PoPville No joke on Porter today

@HMNorthey @ENERGY @EENewsUpdates I look forward to reading more @HMNorthey - particularly on how fast OEM's can retool production lines once new, better batteries are available. @IEA shows mineral demand could quadruple before better batteries are available. Big supply gap to fill by 2035!

@knarren_rik @ArcticBasecamp Swiss @RailService is quite popular and more frequently used than private jets. Also, SBB has best transit apps I’ve ever used.

[Laura Hermann @Lillau]

Great calls-to-action by the @ArcticBasecamp team with a truly global perspective on the climate crisis #davosweek #wef2023

Here are some interesting numbers on science fiction becoming science! @Fusion_Industry @FusionEnergyCA

[Michel Claessens @M_Claessens]

There are now over 130 fusion devices in the world: public and private, operating, under construction or being planned! Plus 11 demonstration fusion power plants in the pipeline #fusion #energy @iaeaorg https://t.co/jLDd2QWZGP

Live now - courtesy of @Filecoin and @CNBC - Oliver Stone on #nuclearnow based on the book a Bright Future! So great to see nuclear energy discussed during #wef2023

Great to see @RepGregoryMeeks celebrating investment in public-private partnerships @hubculture with the people who are making such partnerships meaningful to the planet! @ConservationOrg #davos2023
