Great conversation! You should chat with @metaomicsnerd.bsky.social about methane mitigation in cattle and potential policy drivers.

Are you looking for the original document in Danish or are fact sheets in English sufficient? If it’s the former searching Google for the danish name of the agreement returns pdf of the agreement. If the latter is ok, this site has fact sheets: en.fvm.dk/news-and-con...

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make the tour, but the conference was good too. There’s a fairly long way to go for widespread deployment, although replacing plastic hoop houses with agri-PV infrastructure and behind the meter uses (e.g., cold storage) is a fruitful use case. FYI @waiterich.bsky.social

Fwiw, I think that you can use the 3 years in agency roles as a point of strength and leverage—similar to engineering faculty who use their time in private practice as real world experience that enriches their academic background.

Oh, that should be great! Ask him about the ISB PCR-on-a-strip machine that was designed to do 25,000 reactions per cycle. It was an impressive bit of engineering!
