@KirstyDuncanMP Thank you @KirstyDuncanMP for being a tireless advocate on this front!

A shout-out to the research community who came together and worked hard to build the case for investment in the people who make lifesaving, life changing and future building discoveries. Thank you to the government for listening.

US town's $565,000 sand dune project washed away in days… I can’t think of a more clear showcase, retreat is rapidly becoming the best adaptation strategy for problematic coastal properties. #climatejustice #managedretreat #climateaction bbc.com/news/world-us-…

Most undercovered stories of the year in 2023 according to CBC At Issue panelists? @althiaraj pick -- she is shocked we live in a country where communities still don't have clean drinking #water.

Fast forward 250 years ahead. When was the last drop of water drunk? In 2040, says comedian Simon Brodkin! It's both extremely funny and scary, but if we do not take care of our water resources, that could be our reality. #runningoutofwater #watersecurity @WaterFuturesERC

A nice piece that reflects my experience. "Strategy vs Strategic Planning". However you phrase or interpret this, the real test IMHO is whether the process is functional and useful in helping shape and guide practical decisions among a group to shared goals.

A poignant example of what can happen in the current scientific "system/community." It seems to me in this recent age of "falling walls" for many previously "accepted" societal norms that the realities of the system that generates new knowledge need to be exposed and addressed.

Research holds real promise for people, society and our planet, impacts each of our lives, matters for its own sake, and is a basic building block of Canada. It’s time to invest in the granting councils and graduate scholarships, especially as peer countries ramp up investment.

Thankful for my 1-year temp assignment at USEPA as a Sr. Advisor for their Lead Service Line Accelerator Program. Now back at @CincinnatiWater with my water peeps. Back into the daily groove!

@KirstyDuncanMP Huge hugs. You are such an ongoing inspiration to so many. You go girl!!

For me, cancer is like climbing a mountain. Ascending is hard, but overcoming new hurdles is even tougher. After a brief setback, I am back on track and getting strong for my upcoming surgery. For all those facing a hard week, know that I am with you every step of the way.

Wow - this is a great breakdown of my paper for @MediaTechDem on polarization and the factors that lead to the 2022 Convoy. Thanks! You can read the paper for free here! It's depressing! mediatechdemocracy.com/all-work/polar…
