Baby tasted peanut butter for the first time today and I've never seen her more excited 😂

'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain' #Iran 🇮🇷

Starting NOW!!! UNEP: Launch of the Global Methane Status Report. unfccc-events.azureedge.net/COP30_109514...

“COP30 in Belém may well be remembered as the moment that the world accepted the leading role of China in addressing humanity’s most important challenge.” “China is helping enable the energy transition, while the U.S. tries to force countries to buy U.S. oil and gas. Global trends favor China.”

If you love chickens (and eggs) you can thank a Thai person for it, 'cos they're the geniuses who first appear to have domesticated the birds nearly 4,000 years ago. [shout out to Thailand -- i knew i liked you.]

Leftover carrot purée also got added to breakfast tacos. No food waste in this house 😅

Baby is eating purées now and she didn't like Asian pear. Thankfully frozen Asian pear purée is a nice dessert for mama 🤣

This is such a common dynamic and it absolutely does immense harm to women’s careers. We do not need to tolerate this shit anymore.

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

Colombia is in the midst of their energy transition. Is the story a happy one? We spoke to more than a dozen Colombian energy folks - from renewable developers to ministers to coal lawyers to oil company execs. Here's what they think went right, and what went wrong. Listen and read on NPR 📻🎧🇨🇴⬇️

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

Exclusive by me: A quarter of the world’s population lives within three miles (5km) of operational fossil fuel projects, threatening the health of more than 2bn people as well as critical ecosystems, according to first-of-its-kind research. @amnesty.org www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is such a sad story. In Saudi Arabia, where an unmarried mother can be jailed for an “illegal pregnancy,” migrant workers who give birth cannot leave the country with their kids if they do not have identification documents, which are often impossible to obtain. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/w...

Question for historians - what are some archives/libraries in DC related to international politics that are not government-run? Someone I know is here for research next week but many of the places he planned to go are closed.

If the world were a just place either changing sheets and duvet cover wouldn't be such an odious job or sleeping in clean sheets wouldn't be such an exquisite feeling. Alas the cycle continues as the cruel wheel of time turns.

So maybe that 2pm latte was a mistake 🫥

Omfg yo holy shit look at this shot. Taken 34 minutes ago. I got some decent video I'll edit once I get to a hotel after catching the milky way...so..3 hours? 🪶

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

lmao this is incredible, strong contender for one of the least useful charts ever made you could do this with anything, draw a straight trend line plus one exponentially up and one exponentially down average baseball fastball pitch speed in 2050: 0mph, 105mph, or 1000000mph

UNEP's latest annual “emissions gap” report is out - countries' climate plans "barely move the needle" on future warming @carbonbrief.org www.carbonbrief.org/unep-new-cou...

I like to say that super pollutants are the short game and CO2 is the long game!

There has been a lot of recent interest in mitigating "super pollutants", short-lived climate pollutants like methane and refrigerants. We should cut emissions, but using them as carbon offsets risks breaking the math of net zero: www.theclimatebrink....

Senior agrifood systems folks, this is a great job opportunity at CIMMYT! Sieg Snapp's work has been highly influential to my academic work and it would be great to see a similarly outstanding person in this role after she retires! apply.workable.com/cimmyt-1/j/5...

So many climate solutions, so few emissions reductions. A new book explains why. In "The Long Heat," Wim Carton and Andreas Malm argue that capitalism has turned the climate crisis into a business opportunity. grist.org/culture/clim... #BookSky #Books #Climate #Tech #Capitalism

Impromptu galette from whatever was left in the fridge + frozen pie crust. Doesn't look like much but inside is roasted potato and carrot, caramelized onions that I made on the weekend, goat cheese, egg, and mustard.

bye brain

My cats and baby are starting to become more aware/interested in each other. But the cats are still wary. Maybe I should have fed them on opposite sides of the door then gradually brought them closer together with the door open 😙

Study after study, data proves again and again that bike infrastructure saves lives.

hello twitter users who are just joining us! we're happy to have you on bluesky. you're just in time for "wet wet wednesdays" where we all share the sauces, gravies, and marinades we're working on

@unep.org is seeking a Chief Scientist and Director of the Office of Science. This is a senior position based in Nairobi. Please share with your network! careers.un.org/jobSearchDes...

Something I noticed being back in the US after 4 years in Bangkok is you need an app or login for *everything*. My heated mug, phone company, and thermostat need an app. I needed a password to check-in at the salon (I didn't remember it, that was fun).

#ResistanceRoots #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth Do you enjoy New Mexico chiles? I know I do. And for that, we can thank Mexican American horticulturist Fabian García, who has been described as the “father of the New Mexican food industry” because of his pioneering work. /1

The one game my husband really wanted to watch this season 😅 It was a great game but I was mostly watching through my eyelids (sleeping on the couch)

I'm not ready for this cold. Spent the past 4 "winters" in Bangkok. The cats still want to have their catio time though. Widely adapted creatures!

Two out of the past three days my baby's stroller was almost hit by a car turning too fast (or illegally on red) into a crosswalk. I love DC but these streets are not safe 😔

Decided to update my headshot. Going back to work in a week and feeling ready for a fresh start 🌈🌞

Trying to not weigh in on this ai discussion but it’s important to remember technology exists in a political economic context and what a tech “is” and whether it is a net positive or even useful to most people is largely contingent on that context

My baby doesn't like hats, which unfortunately really limits our Halloween options 😫 We went to a neighborhood costume exchange and got her a pretty cool handmade lobster costume though! 🦞

This is great news. Air quality is consistently very bad in cities in Nepal. I hope this helps!

The toxic environmental legacy of the Ukraine war will be felt for generations. @unep.org continues to support Ukraine, and other conflict countries, with these environmental impacts. On sidelines of #UNGA, pleased to meet Oleksii Sobolev, Ukraine's Minister of Economy, Environment & Agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture said it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey. Experts say the move will obscure the effects of recent changes that will lead to people losing food aid.
