Thanks to @FLClimateInst for funding this senior capstone, and to the wonderful @cynthiabarnett and @KylieWilliams99 for seeing it through once I left the state.
@WUFTNews and #EJUF plan to report more without me once it receives emergency documents for each dam.

.@hydroKati distinguished herself as the natural choice to accelerate the rise of @UFCALS to national prominence in the teaching of #AI and its use as an instructional tool.
@UF_IFAS will always be thankful to @UFCALSDean, having set the pace for a historic decade.
Kati Migliaccio has been selected as the next CALS dean, effective Jan. 1
She currently leads @UF_ABE, but her experience w/curriculum and teaching spans all of @UF
She will succeed Elaine Turner, who has served as @UFCALSDean for the past decade

Winner of Badass Bookstore Logo of the Year: @legroff ‘s The Lynx Books in Gainesville FL
(I visited last weekend for a book event and discussion w/ @ResilientJane and the bookstore itself - which champions banned books — is just as sexy and smart as the logo)

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas
EVs instead of reducing car dependency
Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production
Planting trees instead of ending deforestation
Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

🚨🚨🚨 This is the "Origins" story of #H5N1 in U.S.
Read it, flag it, share it. Incredible investigative report by @KatherineEban in @VanityFair. Too many details to thread. @CDCgov @USDA @SecVilsack @WHOSTP @VP @WhiteHouse @WHO
H/t to all brave enough to speak up

When dairy cows in Texas began falling ill with H5N1, alarmed veterinarians expected a fierce response to contain an outbreak with pandemic-sparking potential. Then politics—and, critics say, a key agency’s mandate to protect dairy-industry revenues—intervened.
For VF, @KatherineEban reports on the bungled bird flu response: vanityfair.visitlink.me/yoX7…

Here's a wonderful video tribute to the work and life of climate scientist Warren Washington after he was given the National Medal of Science by @BarackObama: 2009 National Medal of Science Laureate for his development and use of global climate models.

CO2 capture is a failed technology.
“The very industry that should be paying for cleaning up emissions is instead pocketing billions in public money that should go to transitioning to renewables.”
Carbon capture is not the answer to the climate crisis theguardian.com/theobserver/…

Just weeks after the removal of dams restored a free-flowing Klamath River, salmon have made their way upstream to begin spawning and have been spotted in Oregon for the first time in more than a century. latimes.com/environment/stor…

So sad to hear of the passing of my good friend & hero, Warren Washington. Warren was apioneer both in the science of climate change and in communicating the implications to policymakers. It was my great honor to share the Tyler Prize with him in 2019 (tylerprize.org/laureates/pas…).

Sad word is spreading from Boulder that the pioneering NCAR climate scientist and Medal of Science laureate Warren Washington has passed from this Earth he studied and cherished with such vigor for so long. More soon but listen to @DrShepherd2013 below for just a little of Dr Washington’s legacy. 1/

No place is immune to the damaging effects of climate change.

Your periodic reminder that 15 years ago the entire global financial system nearly collapsed cos of a relatively small number of mortgage defaults in the US. This is what people mean when they talk about climate change being a systemic risk.
