VERY EXCITED to welcome Michael Dorsey (@GreenHejira) as our inaugural Macmillan Visiting Scholar.

"If this [a 5% drop in global carbon emissions] is all we get from shutting the entire world down, it illustrates the scope and scale of the climate challenge, which is fundamentally changing the way we make and use energy and products" https://t.co/zYFOUE8jBm

We wasted February and the failure wasn't just from the administration. Many in media, too, fueled the complacency. Why? Because we don't know how to think about complex systems—something we must learn to get through this. I explain how. New piece from me. https://t.co/dsFvV1IXHx

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.

I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

I’m super excited to be a part of this collab between @veic and @GundInstitute - please reach out with any ideas of questions!

[Jon D. Erickson @jon_d_erickson]

Very exciting opportunity @GundInstitute. If you’re a doc looking to be post, give a holler.

Can altruism help lower energy use? Gifts to charity helped @BurlingtonElec reduce home energy use by 13.5%, says #UVM study by #GundFellows Bonnie Pratt & @jon_d_erickson: https://t.co/LWFx6E1MCU #BTV #Vermont

The Arctic:

1. 95% of old ice gone
2. ice free by 2021-2031
3. fastest warming place on Earth
4. no evidence sea ice will recover
5. heatwaves 20°C more than usual
6. vast wildfires mean carbon bursts
7. melting is destabilising the planet
8. permafrost collapse is irreversible

[Dan Fredman @vtd_f]

Not always easy (and it shouldn’t be!), but I’m grateful for the education and opportunities I had at #UVM @GundInstitute @UVM_RSENR.

Broke: Send your DNA to @23andMe, deanonymizing your relatives and descendants

Woke: Don’t send DNA to @23andMe but risk a relative defecting

Bespoke: Use CRISPR to encode a computer virus in your DNA, send DNA to @23andMe and Stuxnet their database

[Dr. Kristin Hook for Congress @Kristin_Hook]

As a furloughed scientist, I thought it worthwhile to use my PhD skills to look at evidence for the president’s claims of a national security crisis & whether his desire for a wall is an adequate justification for a government #shutdown that has cut off pay for 800,000 Americans.
