For a living? I like to tell true stories in memorable ways... often about science, especially natural history, the climate, and space. I also produce podcasts and talk on the radio sometimes. If I'm not doing that I prolly wanna play games or go outside.
All four episodes of this powerful series from @rosegilbert.bsky.social and @wpln.bsky.social are out now. Working as a fact checker on this project these last few months was, by turns, edifying, heartrending, and delightful. Give it a listen.

The Country In Our Hearts is a new, four-part @wpln.bsky.social
series — launching on June 5.

I follow one family’s epic journey from Kurdistan to Nashville.

Across centuries, across continents, across generations, this is a story about a people’s fight to exist. (1/3)

@jacquelyngill.bsky.social Hi Dr. Gill – back in the Twitter days (RIP) you had an absolute banger of a thread on why, although CO2 levels are now on par with the mid-Pliocene, that's not what our world is going to look like, thanks to things like the Greenland Ice Sheet + the Isthmus of Panama...

I sure picked a heck of a time to read Disasterology by @samlmontano.bsky.social. I'm still processing it but found it full of worthwhile information and compelling details and extremely worth my attention. Might be worth yours, too...

I read a bunch of @doctorvive.bsky.social's book "The Language of Climate Politics" in a hurry to get ready for an interview with her back in September, but I only recently actually finished the audiobook in full. Came here just to report it was worth my time and might be worth yours, too.

Climate anxiety is hardly rare, but a few things can help:

• Knowledge to put the problem in scope
• A path toward climate action
• Community, bc you can't do it all on your own

This is the whole idea behind Terra.do. More on one fellow + alum's journey here: blog.terra.do/from-anxious...

What is reconductoring—and how can it help us fight climate change? The climate school I write for, terra.do, had a highly neat conversation w/ @kamalkapadia.bsky.social + Dr. Amol Phadke about a crucial bottleneck in our clean energy transition. I wrote it up here: blog.terra.do/rewiring-the...
Rewiring the Grid for a Sustainable Future: A Conversation With Dr. Amol Phadke
Ever more renewable energy wants to connect to the grid, but the grid's infrastructure isn't ready. Dr. Amol Phadke tells us he has a solution in mind, though.
