On the 7th anniversary of @ConversationUS it’s good to re-read a 2015 @BostonGlobe profile of us shared by colleague @BostonAbrams. I think our story has held up pretty well! bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2015…

It’s hard to get a picture of how the pandemic is playing out in different countries - and to see what we in the US can learn from others. These short stories provide a snapshot of how 10 countries from Mexico to China are coping and their different challenges #DeltaVariant

@Stphn_Lacey @jeffsaintjohn @JulianSpector @emmafmerchant @DeigninSpain @jparnell_gtm This is terrible news and a real shock. This group does great and important work.

It's hard to describe how it feels to see GTM shut down. I joined in 2013 because they were *the* cutting-edge voice in cleantech journalism. Any outlet would be lucky to have @jeffsaintjohn, @JulianSpector, @emmafmerchant, @DeigninSpain & @jparnell_gtm. Hire them.
