The state of science journalism is dire when I am relying on an employee owned sports website to get the inside story on what happened to @PopSci

@AtomicCatherine @timechols @businessfrance @WECNuclear @katyhuff @NEI @Exhibition_WNE @JigarShahDC Yup. Show, don’t tell. Trust is built on what we do, not what we say. So IMO trying to convince people starts the dialogue from the wrong side of the table. There is a lot of good work going on now among nuclear operators who bother to listen before they speak.

@timechols @businessfrance @WECNuclear @katyhuff @NEI @Exhibition_WNE @JigarShahDC Not so much in the US. @Lillau has done a lot of work in this sector and continuing to emphasize safety is hurting our public perception, not helping it.

Live tweeting from France as I attend (not paid at state expense) the Green Energy Summit and the @Exhibition_WNE on nuclear energy. Meet my new friend, Dr Liu, from @argonne here as well.

As a prolific deep-ocean explorer, James Cameron has frequently visited the abyssal plains where #nodules are found. In a new @guardian interview he noted that ‘his time in rarely visited parts of the planet has swayed him in support of deep-sea mining.’ theguardian.com/environment/20…

Science journalism is critically important in an era of misinformation and fake news. It is quite encouraging to see one of the best journalists in the field tackle the issue of public fear. From vaccines, climate change, to radiation, there are still reliable ways of knowing.

This is my third domestic United flight this week and this resonates. They seem to have lost any process to efficiently manage boarding and luggage.

Serious FOMO as I leave the @ANS_org annual meeting early but I’m glad I made it out for two fantastic sessions with the great experts contributing to the Rapid Response Task Force. Thanks to great team @theboxindy for all the technical assistance and hospitality.

@TimMLatimer Teach for America is a great analogy! We are working towards something along these lines within @ANS_org Happy to discuss

Are there any philanthropists or non-profits working on building staff capacity to review and permit clean infrastructure projects in the United States? Something similar to the Teach for America model, for example. This is a critical and overlooked need.

Kudos to the team responsible for the full house at the #NuclearNowFilm DC premiere! @TheOliverStone & @GoldsteinJoshua thoughtfully capture its history and why we need nuclear - fission and fusion. Check it out in theaters nationwide

@PoPville Rat snakes make the best pets! Quiet, clean and happy to just hang out on a hot water pipe.

Yes. Also, absolutely not. But yes.

Interesting thread on another of the myths of a hydrogen economy

@DWaltersdorfer @PoPville No joke on Porter today

Was the Wind Storm an Apri’ls Fools joke? #DC @PoPville

@HMNorthey @ENERGY @EENewsUpdates I look forward to reading more @HMNorthey - particularly on how fast OEM's can retool production lines once new, better batteries are available. @IEA shows mineral demand could quadruple before better batteries are available. Big supply gap to fill by 2035!

.@ENERGY ramping up research around cheaper batteries that can store more energy -- and ultimately limit the need for cobalt, graphite and nickel. Reading this as I head to a University of Michigan battery lab today - in @EENewsUpdates: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

@knarren_rik @ArcticBasecamp Swiss @RailService is quite popular and more frequently used than private jets. Also, SBB has best transit apps I’ve ever used.

Great calls-to-action by the @ArcticBasecamp team with a truly global perspective on the climate crisis #davosweek #wef2023

Here are some interesting numbers on science fiction becoming science! @Fusion_Industry @FusionEnergyCA

Live now - courtesy of @Filecoin and @CNBC - Oliver Stone on #nuclearnow based on the book a Bright Future! So great to see nuclear energy discussed during #wef2023

Great to see @RepGregoryMeeks celebrating investment in public-private partnerships @hubculture with the people who are making such partnerships meaningful to the planet! @ConservationOrg #davos2023
