I am a historian and librarian with expertise in environmental history, chemicals in the 20th century, and cleanup and restoration. I'm also a mom, animal-lover, and avid reader.
The title block for the State of Illinois aeronautical charts in the 1980s is fantastic.

For what it’s worth, when I spent years in Afghanistan and Iraq, the most powerful thing I ever saw was USAID digging wells & repairing schools. The most effective power we will ever have.

Did you know? It is so difficult to regulate chemicals in the U.S. that the EPA did not feel in the 1970s that there was sufficient evidence of the threat of leaded gasoline to the public health to ban it. Leaded gas was only banned because it interfered with catalytic convertors, NOT health effects

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

It's been one of the blessings of my life to work for 20 years at the company my dad founded in 1995.
So it's with some sadness I announce that NewFields is being acquired by ERM. But I am also super excited about continuing working with this fantastic team.
