13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!

This is impressive stuff. And it matters - we have to modernise our energy supply and get it right, as quickly as possible. The shift is already happening, but we need to speed it up.

70% of workers on large UK #construction sites haven't been trained on the dangers of solar radiation exposure and #skincancer risks. Recent research with @HeriotWattUni and @IOMworld investigated what's preventing workers adopting sun-safety behaviours: bit.ly/2MAKgEq
