In the last few weeks my 9 y/o 1) got a land line to start calling her friends, 2) completed her first gig as a magician at a kindergartner's bday party. If you're worried that you'll miss how cute your kid is as a baby, don't worry. This is just a whole different level.

Have you ever wished you could assemble lots of TEAs quickly on a tech? Understand where the assumptions differed? Maybe even use them to generate a custom design for your needs drawing on prior analyses? This is what we are working on: projectpisces.org and we need YOU. Reach out to get involved.

The UC Berkeley folks working on heavy duty freight in my group did some incredible work that was published in 2025. They've not gotten the fanfare they deserve, but here they are ♥️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... and www.nature.com/articles/s41... and www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As we coast into the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm taking time to appreciate just how incredible my group members (past and present). Fundraising can be a struggle, especially now, but it's so worth it when I look around and see what they're accomplishing ♥️ Grateful for them & our awesome collaborators

What a fun (and well-attended!) @rff.org webinar. People want transparency, above all else when it comes to this kind of modeling. Also got to give a shoutout to @jeffinerca.bsky.social and Allegra Mayer's "rent vs. buy" framing for C storage youtu.be/jBblJqPoiVk?...

So much fun to see my postdocs present their work. Maryam has been digging into potential uses for almond orchard and processor residues in CA. Also, check out our under-development webtool for assessing residue availability! calbioscape.org

AI integration sounds great but how about we fix app interfaces so I don't have to scroll through every single month between now and the day I was born in 1985 just to finish ordering a takeout sandwich?

Got a request for guidance on doing a TEA for something they plan to make via contract manufacturing. I believe the answer is to just....get a quote(?)

We've had a blustery October but yesterday the bay had a kind of glassy look to it. I really never get tired of the views, in part because they're always a little different.

Got vaccinated for flu and COVID at work today and, out of habit, did not actually look at the shots. So it was a delightful surprise to find these sweet Garfield bandaids on both arms hours later.

Heck of an earthquake last night. Short but the shaking was no joke. It woke all of us up. What is it about this time of year?!

This project has been so cool. Real powerhouse team 🙌
#BioBSE researchers Jay Keasling and @cdscown.bsky.social are contributing to a cleaner planet by being part of a newly funded project to develop biodegradable bioplastics from domestic biomass. #WorldCleanupDay

Researchers leverage advanced bioengineering techniques to develop plastics made from sustainable biomaterials
Less than 10% of plastics are recycled. A Purdue-led team, backed by NSF, is creating durable bioplastics from raw materials — reducing waste and strengthening sustainable manufacturing.
