My kids are obsessed with the bus because I love buses. I love buses because my mom taught me how to ride the great little system in our home town: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

New nuclear projects face significant barriers, from cost overruns to supply chain issues. A recent @nationalacademies.org workshop explored ways to improve timelines for construction, decision-making, investment, and community engagement. Proceedings: www.nationalacademies.org/event/44002_...

Guys, the rumors were true...charging our #EV on a 300 mi, 5 hr road trip with my toddlers was super easy. Thanks to #NYPA #NEVI & #electrifyamerica which fund, build & operate nice fast chargers right off the highway! Our #hyundai #ioniq6 gets 80% in 15-20 min! S/O to Hancock NY for hospitality!

Newly elected members @nationalacademies.org! So much wonderful work these folks have done to advance our wellbeing, the economy, and the state of knowledge. It lifted my spirits to look into their careers and see the value of scientific research and scholarship! www.nasonline.org/news/2025-na...

Today at Noon ET: the final webinar in this series, on supply chains for the future electricity system ⛓️💡 The conversation will be moderated by Mike Howard (CEO Emeritus, EPRI) and you can register here: www.nationalacademies.org/event/44653_...

Siting electric transmission along transportation corridors to benefit the public, the electric system & transportation presents policy, technical & economic challenges. Discuss solutions @nationalacademies.org on April 7-9. DM me for in-person invites!🔌💡 www.nationalacademies.org/event/44559_...

WASHINGTON (AP) — USAID security chiefs on leave after trying to prevent Musk's DOGE from accessing classified material, officials say.

Trans people out there living their lives have never been a threat to me. In contrast, like most women, I’ve been harassed or assaulted by plenty of “regular” men. I don’t need protection from trans people, and quit invoking my and my daughter’s “defense” to persecute people for who they are.

Federal grants and loans pay for medical and scientific research, for companies to build infrastructure, for social services that help people recover from disasters and get on their feet. People want these things in their communities.

Hi #energysky! 🌡️🔌💡Our gas heating/hot water Navien has failed (+gas leak 😩), so emergently fast forwarding our electric space/water heating plans! Taking any recs on #heatpumps / systems considerations! Current system heated water with gas, producing DHW directly/heat exchanges to space heating.

There is always a pop soundtrack in my head when I'm bike commuting!

In 2022, @nationalacademies.org published a study on the pollution from fire at the wildland urban interface & health impacts. It has recommendations for fire & exposure prevention and protection. Wear an N95 if you can. Summary w/ link to the full report: nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/264...

can confirm breathing that shit is not good for you N95 helps. so does a cheap homemade air filter: tape a MERV-13 square duct filter to the back of a standard size box fan. not HEPA level but it helps a lot! use 4 filters to make a cube shape and you’ve got a Corsi-Rosenthal box

I enjoyed meeting up with the transportation clean energy folks @trb.org #TRBAM this year! I look forward to continued work on efficiency, reduced pollution, and better mobility in 2025 @nationalacademies.org.

On my way to #TRBAM ... got my snow boots and my calendar export. Looking forward to seeing folks in energy, air quality, and climate! Glad I can take Metro from the airport and looking forward to a snowy trudge to the Convention Center tomorrow, though I'll be missing my CaBi rides on this trip!

How come no one personally called, texted, or emailed me to say I should look for the northern lights last night? 🙃 But seriously, though, I guess I have not been on the internet enough this week! So glad to see everyone who is excited about having seen it! Looked like fun!

Some great insights on the clean energy transition happening in this workshop, which is on zoom. Nat Bullard just called hydrogen part of “the molecular industrial complex”. Coming up at the top of the hour is a panel including the visionary Dr. Heather Boushey, the CEA Member helping lead this.

I'm presenting at the National Academies Roundtable on Macroeconomic Implications of Decarbonization Policies and Actions tomorrow. tl;dr there's climate physical risks and transition risks but need new systems research to identify and overcome barriers www.nationalacademies.org/event/42625_...

Oh man, I miss Bikeshare and I miss Bike Angel-ing! Mostly I just miss the fun and freedom of biking to get around DC! Glad I get to occasionally relive when I visit! #CaBi #TopOfArbitraryLists #WhenIwasSingle #GottaPutAToddlerBikeSeatOnMyBike #MaybeGetAnEBike www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UI6...

There’s a group of kids on the corner selling lemonade. They yell “LEMONADE” at every passing vehicle, but the only people I have seen stop for a drink so far are on foot or bike. There is no shortage of free parking on the street. Maybe this is analogous to local business districts. 😉

There’s a good lesson to learn here about also calling your reps for the programs you like instead of just the ones you don’t like, but now’s not the time for that. Hochul’s phone lines opened five minutes ago and it’s time to call again. (518) 474-8390 is the number to let her know this sucks.

This is the dynamic with most streets stuff, unfortunately. The kinds of people who drive everywhere are also the ones who dedicate all their time to calling their reps to complain about parking, while normal people enjoy thinks like open streets and outdoor dining silently.

Here's what NYC is losing because Hochul killed congestion pricing. Look at all those ADA accessibility upgrades!

New members of the National Academy of Science have been announced!: www.nasonline.org/news-and-mul.... Congrats to the newly elected members! Working with experts like these is the best part of my job. #science #chemsky 🧪⚗️ #physics #mathsky #biology 🔌💡 #energysky #greensky #econsky

Shout out to the Wikipedia editors busy updating pages for the athletes being drafted to the #wnba tonight! I appreciate you! Do you think they coordinate ahead of time who will do what person, or which pick? I bet there's a group of wikipedians dedicated to keeping up the WBB pages.🏀💻👩‍💻👨‍💻🙌

Ok #energysky, family and I are about to get our first #EV (likely Ioniq 6!). Recommendation on which charger to get for the house? Looking for any particular brand or model recommendations! We have a two car garage, which will only be housing this one car in case that matters. 🚙🔌💡

2 weeks to go! Applications invited: 2024 Energy and Climate-Tech Innovation Policy Boot Camp for Early Career Researchers 20 promising scholars will spend an intensive week in DC June 2-7. @kencaldeira.bsky.social @jessejenkins.bsky.social #energysky #climatesky Full info: climatetech.schar.gmu.edu

Today at noon ET, the National Academies will release its final report on the technology, societal, and policy needs and opportunities to accelerate deep decarbonization in the US. Watch the webinar and check out the report: www.nationalacademies.org/event/41024_...
