#Climatechange got you down? These 50 people will cheer you up. This month: I'm featuring @grist's 2019 #Grist50 Fixers here on my feed. There's more than one reason for you to feel good about the future! grist.org/grist-50/2019/
Meet Ploy Achakulwisut (@_aploy). She’s got climate #activism down to a science. Ploy dedicates her work — such as research connecting #AirPollution in the southwest U.S. to premature mortality — to furthering @climate awareness. #Grist50

What did it take for Robin Amer (@rsamer) to create an award-winning investigative #podcast on #environmental justice? Three years, more than 65 interviews, and one lawsuit against the @FBI. @thecitypod talks trash — and listeners love it. #Grist50
grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
Yassamin Ansari (@yassaminansari) understands that #refugee crises, war, and #terrorism are driven and magnified by #climatechange. When she’s at the talks, nations and corporations agree. #Grist50

We’ve got a lot to learn about dirty #air, and Joshua Apte (@joshapte) is on the case. His goal: “To know as much as I can about the air that every human on this planet breathes” #Grist50

Greening a huge ride-share company might sound absurd. But Sam Arons (@smasmonium) thinks that @lyft can “Blaze a #climate trail for the rest of the transportation sector.” I hope so! #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
“Before, I was the only #conservative in a #liberal space. Now, I’m one of the only conservatives fighting for the #environment in the conservative space.” Benji Backer (@benjibacker) is a young #Republican who envisions a Green Old Party. #Grist50
grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
Meet Jenny Bruso (@jenny_bruso). She's an outdoor influencer who's blazing trails for everybody. “We all have unique experiences,” she says. “And we all deserve to have space held for us.” @unlikelyhikers #Grist50
grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
Quick: Who's the world's biggest landowner? Molly Burhans (@MollyAHBurhans) knows it's the #Catholic church so she and @Good_Lands are building the digital maps the #church needs to make smart #ecological decisions #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
“It starts with people, and it starts with ag policy that lets people own their own land.” Meet Sarah Carlson (@hmgrwn1). She’s planting the seeds for a #rural renaissance. #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2019/…
Francesca Chaney noticed most restaurants promoting plant-based #sustainable living targeted elites - So she founded @SolSips and feeds the people at her #vegan café. #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2019/…

The science is clear, #ClimateChange is the single greatest threat we face & instead of confronting the crisis, the Trudeau Liberal government spent billions on a pipeline & billions more on fossil fuel subsidies.

We would make different choices & here's how we'd start: #cdnpoli
Today we announce the first step in our plan to tackle #ClimateChange – starting with large-scale building retrofits to reduce energy demand, create jobs & save families money.

And we're thinking big – we'll retrofit all housing stock in Canada by 2050: bit.ly/2GjZBDQ
We can cut energy use by up to 60% and save families an average of $900 a year – all while creating tens of thousands of good local jobs across Canada in energy auditing, building design, construction & more.

We can make things better for the #environment & for people too.

This infographic drives me nuts, as it has gone completely viral multiple times and people share it basically uncritically. We need to talk about it.
Firstly, one may argue philosophically whether it makes sense to put the *entirety of a potential human's* emissions on the same dimension as "don't have a car" but let's set that aside and assume it's totally valid. I want to talk about the technical calculation here
Your first question should be "how did they calculate this?" Here we go. Start at the paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… and find this passage:

More on why agile/XP so often fails heterogenous teams (started here: )
When I first did real (small-a) agile, at @pivotallabs circa 2009, it was clear to me almost immediately that this was the most powerful way to build software that I’d ever participated in.
Pivotal wasn’t a brand so much at that point, and agile hadn’t “won.” I frequently had to explain, discuss, and (ultimately) defend the practices to many of the client developers on my early projects.

...here's a story, true story from my family:
My paternal grandfather's younger brother owned the family gold business in a small village in India. [My grandfather was a failed architect. Failed in the sense that it was his passion but he couldn't make money doing it, so he left Ahmedabad and moved back to family village.]
Anyway, he -- my grand-uncle, that is -- found modest success with his small local gold business [which my grandfather and his sons (my dad and uncle) had divested from in favor of higher education].

Rather than live-tweet my experience @ "NSF Day," here's a thread of the most important lessons I learned from Program Officers today 1/
Co-reviewed proposals by more than one program (i.e. interdisciplinary in nature) have slightly higher funding rates than trad. proposals 2/
Use @NSF Fastlane instead of grants.gov. Fastlane checks applications for completeness & formatting before submission 3/
