@rmfrosch @NoemaMag Hey @rmfrosch Thanks for your post! There are so many trade-offs and challenges with carbon removal. But also so many great groups in Kern County working to center community interests in this transition.

Phasing out fossil fuels is job #1. But we will likely also need carbon removal. Can we transition from carbon emissions to carbon removal in an equitable and safe way? Check out my recent article: noemamag.com/a-green-revolu…

@nils_gilman I'm skeptical as well. Do you have thoughts on where the counterculture moved? And what about the decamping of the Bitcoin-Libertarian maximalists to TX and FL?

Congratulations to Rachel Morello-Frosch @rmfrosch for being elected to the National Academy of Medicine for her leadership in researching structural determinants of environmental health inequities, environmental justice, and community-engaged science.

I am relieved that Chauvin was found guilty. But this is not true justice. This is the start of accountability.

IMHO, after vaccinating Americans ASAP, the United States should help vaccinate other countries as fast as possible too, as a major foreign aid project.

Question: What college major would you recommend a high school senior apply to today (for best foundational knowledge, skills, frameworks to best position them for the future)?

Democracy is on the ballot. Science is on the ballot. Fear is on the ballot. Who we want to be... is on the ballot.

@vgr Correlation or CAUSATION?

In less than 38 hours, the Trump administration is shutting down My2020Census.gov. Your household can get counted in the #2020Census at My2020Census.gov until 11:59 p.m. Hawaii time on Oct. 15.

Finally some good news! Science and @russellevance for the win!
