#Climate change and #biodiversity loss are not philosophical questions or moral dilemmas, they are physics, chemistry and biology imposing practical and non-negotiable limits on business as usual.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

While large companies remain in scope they often already do much and that will not change, although the incentive to increase is gone. Nudging smaller companies to do more, also drives innovation. Who will plug the gap? You and I
The vast majority of businesses in the European Union would no longer have to disclose their impact on the environment or exposure to the risks of climate change under a proposed bill that significantly winds back the scope of key EU green laws.
Brussels confirms dramatic U-turn on corporate green rules
4 of 5 companies would be exempt from EU corporate sustainability reporting as part of Brussels’ anti-red tape drive.

Afghanistan's economy saw significant growth when women were allowed to attend school. For every additional year of education, women's earnings increased by 13% - higher than the global average of 9%.

New research shows that Afghan women earned 13% more for every additional year of schooling they received after the Taliban fell in 2001. That progress is now in peril.

Another #WomenInSTEM story on my timeline today, also powerfully arguing that student evaluation feedback should never be used in university promotion processes 🔭🧪
Did you see this experiment my colleague Kristina conducted not just at my university but *in my department*? She and the male instructor assumed eachothers’ names for an online course: and the difference in feedback they received was horrifying.
