Divesting from fossil fuels is "the right thing to do for the University of Vermont, given our history and longstanding commitment to sustainability efforts," said President @SVGarimella

ALT Quote over image of mountains at sunrise reads, As the climate crisis deepens, divestment, here and at other schools, is also the right thing to do for our environment and future generations. President Garimella

"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" eenews.net/stories/106289358…

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. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

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!
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: go.uvm.edu/-2at4 #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
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
Holy crap. Malware hidden in a strand of DNA hijacks the computer that analyzes that particular gene sequence. wired.com/story/malware-dna-…

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.

Can art help us find a sustainable path? Come see for yourself this weekend in Burlington.
Great @SevenDaysVT preview of #FeverishWorld, a new and ambitious arts/environment festival taking over #BTV and #UVM this weekend: go.uvm.edu/lg1ts go.uvm.edu/4pds7 #vt
