Moving beyond carbon accounting: understanding the full climate impacts of carbon dioxide removal — CanCO2Re Initiative - Canada CDR Technologies
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is often treated as a simple balancing act: take as much CO2 out of the air as we put in, and the climate will stabilize. But beyond carbon accounting, CDR affects the cli...

I've volunteered to curate my lab's small library and am brainstorming ideas of books to add. Please share your favorite books related to climate and the environment - non-fiction and fiction recommendations welcome! #Booksky

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

These ancient climates, to which we have now returned, are not incompatible with a living world. But they are incompatible with the world we have created. And the speed with which we have reversed 10 million years of Earth history leaves almost no time for us or the rest of Earth's life to adapt.

I have type 1 diabetes, moved to Canada from the US less than a week ago, and have already noticed several structural differences - none involving cooking classes - that help make managing diabetes easier (1/n)
As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

NOAA powers the forecasts on your phone, the maps you trust, the alerts that save lives. It tracks storms, monitors climate, protects coasts, and fuels research across America.
Most people use NOAA data daily—without even knowing it.

Looking for physical scientists 🧪⚒️ who do fieldwork, who've had bad experiences w/ "medical screening" or "physical qualifying (PQ)" exams & restrictions.
Stereotypes used against you, disqualified w/o consultation, etc.
We're putting together a book. A new vision how PQ should work. DMs open. 📖

I just posted the pattern for these socks on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Not sure who else besides me would ever want to make them, but I believe in #OpenAccess! The DOIs to the datasets are also linked in the pattern 😊
