having grown up in MD and driven across that bridge many times, I gotta say there is something deeply unsettling about watching a video of your intrusive fears actually occurring.

Your regular reminder that Phoenix, Vegas, and basically every other desert city is fine, actually. There's enough water for them. The issue is the enormous amount of water that livestock feed crops use. 72% of AZ's total water and 79% of the Colorado River goes to agriculture

New research from @USGS @xercessociety & @BLM_MTDKs tests usings photos as a non-lethal way to ID bumble bees. Non-lethal ID methods may be particularly useful for imperiled bee species 👉 ow.ly/lIZq50QtjCO @GlacierNPS #NativePollinators #WesternBumbleBee #USGS_NOROCK

When I was 24, right before starting my PhD, I took March - August and worked a research job that paid enough for me to make rent and have a few beers. I spent that summer reading so many math books. I should do that again

As an ecologist, the environmental impact of studying the environment is something I think about constantly (all the plastic for samples, the big work trucks, etc.) so I love seeing scientists like Maj-Britt Buchholz get creative with environmental solutions in research!

"I encourage scientists … to reduce the environmental impact of their own research." In this week's #ScienceWorkingLife, #PhD student @Maj03801085 describes how she helped form a group dedicated to pushing for “greener” ways to operate. scim.ag/5DN

"The good news is that parking is changeable. Focus more on the place, and less on the place to park, and the barriers to a better urban environment begin to fall away."
Yale Environment 360 (@YaleE360) profile pictureYale Environment 360@YaleE36031 Jan 2024
Parking lots are an environmental disaster twice over, consuming large tracts of land while subsidizing endless driving. For this reason, Portland, Minneapolis, and other U.S. cities have stopped requiring parking in new buildings. Read more @YaleE360: bit.ly/49hXCeY

Wyoming is experiencing temperatures in the upper 50s in January. While it's a pleasant surprise now, the unusual trend could have notable implications in the future, experts say. wyofile.com/fire-prone-and-f…

A conundrum I think a lot of us have been thinking about: "One great paradox of our time is that to limit humanity’s harms to the planet, we must decarbonize the economy; but to decarbonize the economy, we must build tons of new stuff." theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Don’t San Francisco–ize Clean Energy
