The more I look at industrial decarbonisation, the more I come to the point of view that we have overstated the role of molecules in the past and underestimated the role of electrons in the future.
Thrilled to share my new commentary in Nature Reviews Clean Technology, co-authored with @soxenaar.bsky.social of @regassistproj.bsky.social
We argue for electrifying industrial heat in Europe—a game-changer for efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness.

Can We Afford to Ignore Solar Geoengineering?
Should Canada act now to build its SRM research capacity and leadership? How can we foster the local expertise and international partnerships we’ll need to control the technology should solar geoengineering become a reality?

I’m pretty sure all the astronomers already heard this bad news, but idk how many other folks know about this proposal—NASA science would be absolutely GUTTED if this passed. US astronomy & astrophysics would be dead. We can’t let this happen—tell your reps, & your friends!

For hundreds of years, humanity has relied on science to improve lives and build civilization. Science tests hypotheses, uses data, and follows a systematic method in pursuit of the truth. It’s not perfect of course. But destroying American science as we know it will only send us backward.

And dismantling science throughout the federal government. It’s hard not to see this as an outright attack on knowledge. If we think science is expensive, we should see ignorance…
It's not just Columbia, it's not just DEI, and it's not just biomedical research: Trump's war on universities has frozen crucial science at institutions like Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, and more. Our @nature.com team spoke to some of the affected scientists: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How Trump’s attack on universities is putting research in peril
Scientists have little information as the US government freezes and cancels their funding.

This is a five-alarm fire - it cannot be overstated how important institutions like the USGS Western Ecological Research Center are to landscape and resource management in California. Wetlands, wildfires, endangered species, hunting game, species, climate change… their work covers the gamut.
Another big blow to US science and natural resource management. Wildlife coop research units date back to the 1930s. With roots back to the early 20th century, USGS has been the lead in long-term biodiversity monitoring and important citizen science programs.
