Data centers don’t have to be climate villains.
Finland is turning their waste heat into a public good—warming 100,000 homes and shutting down coal plants.
Innovation isn’t just new tech; it’s using what we already waste.
A smarter future is often hiding in plain sight.

Encouraging people to “be entrepreneurs” and negotiate their own health insurance with a multi-billion-dollar for-profit industry is like telling someone to take their Costco membership fee and go negotiate directly with food manufacturers.

It's always my pleasure to spread the gospel of e-bikes as major tools of convenience for parents.
This week I wrote about the rise of the e-bike dad - this piece was originally going to run alongside the story I did in September about the bike boom in general, and we didn't have space in print, but here it is:

Parents on e-bikes are transforming the school run
They’re smug, snug and often faster than drivers

#AASLD stands ready to work with legislators, the Administration, and public health partners to sustain and build on the progress of #hepatitisB vaccination. Protecting public health is a shared responsibility.
Research shows childhood #hepatitisB vaccination has prevented 6M+ infections & nearly 1M hospitalizations in under 30 years. Vaccines save lives, and this is proof.
Since @CDC’s universal #hepatitisB birth-dose recommendation in 1991:
📉 Infant infections ↓ 95%
💔 90,000+ deaths prevented
🏥 Nearly 1M hospitalizations avoided
A clear public health success.
