@nypost very handsome, love it

Econ of science folks - this position via FAS is really interesting if you want policy impact. Essentially, it's a metascience/econ of science position embedded quite high up at places like DOE. They allocate *billions* to R&D, w/ big changes due to AI/Genesis/OSTP doc/etc.

[Federation of American Scientists🔬 @scientistsorg]

@Afinetheorem thanks for sharing! our team is happy to answer any Qs

Escaping the resource curse means envisioning a future that does not simply replace oil with other extractive industries, but instead drives shared prosperity.

State regulators are making increasingly complex decisions about the electricity system. The public utility commissions left to carry out those orders are chronically understaffed.

Congress can fix that. Here's how.

For Virginia's new energy plan to be successful, state institutions will need the right capacity—people, tools, and processes—to deliver.

One underrated tool in the fight against Colorado's historic drought-record-low snowpack-system crash 3fer: make the pipes more efficient.

About half of the water meant for crops (which is already ~86% of CO's water usage) is lost in transit. Solve for the problem!

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

As one of the Colorado River’s worst water years on record comes to a close today, experts warn that the disputed waterway is approaching a critical threshold that could set the stage for a prolonged legal fight. https://t.co/ozb80kwGZB
