Lakeside art in Finland. Can't remember the location a few hours drive outside Helsinki. Hoping someone can remind me of the location and the artist.

We brought the Ohio University and Ohio State University Grey Green Alliance teams together at the @agefriendlyoh.bsky.social to talk research and practice, charting an exciting set of ways forward building on some dynamic work from student, faculty, staff & partner efforts!

Lucky enough to meet Jane Goodall three times in very different settings. This was the first, hosting her at the Wilson Center in 2003 when she made the case to donors for meeting the diverse needs of communities sharing the same biodiverse ecosystem rather than a species specific approach.

On this International Day of Older Persons, working to capture synergies & reduce risks presented by twin challenges of an aging & warming world. Thrilled to be part of a Grey Green Alliance partnership between Ohio University's Voinovich School & Ohio State University's @agefriendlyoh.bsky.social

Working with a great new group of students this fall! Having fun at a Teas of the World event, part of the launch of Ohio University's new School of International Studies & Languages. Interesting research in the works: aging & climate resilience, climate & mobility, and environmental peacebuilding.

More on extreme weather events and risk communication in Central Appalachia. Challenging new realities on many fronts not making it easier despite better understanding. Great team of researchers & students engaging with public health & emergency response partners www.ohio.edu/news/2025/09...

Congrats to Teslima Jallow for his successful defense of his MS Environmental Studies thesis on climate adaption and older adults in Banjul, The Gambia. Great contribution to our Grey Green Alliance research agenda and loads of helpful takeaways for practitioners.

Super excited to get Sadie's @sadiebabits.bsky.social new book Hot Takes from @islandpress.bsky.social. So much experience to feed into a guide for covering climate change. I know it will be a great resource for our students learning the ins and outs of science communication as well!

Great to catch up with Environmental Studies Voinovich School alums! Thuy Ho and Sharif Wahab doing great research in the Geography PhD program at IU Bloomington!

Love the graduation selfie genre!

Love those smiling faces at graduation. Lots of hard work goes into both our Masters of Sustainability, Security & Resilience and our Masters of Science in Environmental Studies at the Voinovich School.

Serious food for thought at the end of another semester.

A thrill (and challenge) to keynote Ohio University's Earth Day program. Talked of 2025 losses in personal terms with the Wilson Center & U.S. Global Change Research Program, but spent most of my time on sources of inspiration from students, faculty, staff & community partners near and far.

Congrats @circleofblue.bsky.social on the great new look online. Go source for storytelling with a purpose on all things water. www.circleofblue.org

Thrill to have Peter @schwartzstein.bsky.social beam in to discuss his new book The Heat and the Fury with Environmental Studies students at the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service at Ohio University.

Terrific to have Danielle Arigoni, author of Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation, beam in to talk about practical responses to the twin trends of aging and warming. Great opportunity for students to ask questions about a neglected area so ripe for collaboration. Advancing our Grey Green Alliance!

Excited to see results of Fiona Doherty's photo elicitation research on preparedness for extreme weather among younger and older adults here in Athens County Ohio. Fiona is a key member of the Grey Green Alliance collaboration between OSU & OU. Event March 15 events.myacpl.org/event/social...

Talking Grey Green Alliance grad students Veneranda Gweliwo and Teslima Jallow doing a deep dive on rural to urban migration in West Africa. Key foundation for better understanding the challenges older adult especially women face in a warmer world given gender roles in agriculture.

Big congrats to newly minted Dr. Azmat Khan with PhD from the School of Communication Studies at Ohio University. Outstanding deep dive on climate policy communication in Pakistan. I was lucky to have Azmat twice in class and I've learned so much from him. Will share when research is published

Congrats to Age-Friendly Communities all across Ohio! Now up to 35! Thanks to friends at the @agefriendlyoh.bsky.social and CAFCO for their leadership. Those of us working on Age-Friendly Athens County and the Grey Green Alliance deeply value the many collaborations.

More great Grey Green Alliance connected work, photo elicitation bringing forward what extreme weather events & social connection look like to older & younger adults in Appalachian Athens County Ohio. Kudos Fiona Doherty @agefriendlyoh.bsky.social & OSU CSW events.myacpl.org/event/social...

So pleased we were able to host a Humphrey Fellows workshop devoted to climate change this year. Valuable lessons hosting it in the heart of Appalachia with our well-known legacies of extraction & lesser known record of innovation moving forward.
