My interview w/ Manu Prakash @PrakashLab, a hero of mine, who I think is one the great innovators of our era. With global impact for frugal, ingenious inventions as you'll see in this thread medscape.com/viewarticle/92… @Medscape w/ transcript @TeamFoldscope @StanfordEng @Stanford
@PrakashLab @Medscape @TeamFoldscope @StanfordEng @Stanford Last month, over 1 million people around the world, in ~140 countries, have gone Foldscoping with his origami-based microscope invention. First published @PLOSONE in 2014 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Thread: This article from amazing @sundaybusiness has bothered me all day. It's a very "glass more than half full" portrayal of the climate crisis that's unbecoming of a country's leader when so many are already suffering from #climatechange IMHO. So, I'm exploring the issue...1
@sundaybusiness Here's the quote: "Varadkar said it was “interesting to see that there can be pluses and minuses...One thing that we definitely face as a result of climate change is warmer winters. We’re already experiencing warmer winters, and that actually means using less energy because... 2
@sundaybusiness "...it’s warmer and people need less heating, and it also means fewer deaths as a result of cold weather” While there are more downsides than benefits, the upsides are there, he added..It’s interesting that when you do look at those things, that there is a ledger, and there are 2

Very important read from @mrabson.

Environment groups have been warned that saying #climatechange is real could be seen as partisan... why? Because Maxime Bernier (not a scientist) expressed doubts about it

Seriously. This should concern us all.

@TorontoStar just wrapped up a major #climatechange series that digs deep into the consequences for Canada of continued reliance on fossil fuels.

It’s called “Undeniable.”

Read the whole series here: projects.thestar.com/climate-change… #cdnpoli
Reporters fanned out across the country to explore how #climatechange affects different regions.

The greatest conceit of our age may be the belief that we have more time to address #climatechange than we do. insideclimatenews.org/news/03102017/…
We don’t see more than a fraction of climate change in our daily lives, but the signs are all around us. @Climatologist49 & other Anchorage-area residents saw this yesterday.
If there were a #climatechange debate among Democratic Presidential candidates, @drvox has some thoughts about what the questions should be — aimed at policy (which is in dispute), not science (which has been clear for decades). vox.com/energy-and-env…

My first peer reviewed article was published today! I'm grateful for the chance to write about my Master's thesis and share some of my thinking about #climatechange and #narrativedissonance . Please get in touch if you're interested in chatting more. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
My qualitative study looked at the #stories of young people who already know about and care about #climatechange. I wanted to know: how are they making sense of climate change in their everyday lives? How are they responding, and is that #engagement meaningful to them?
I used Marshall Ganz's framework for public narrative to map out the barriers to engagement across participant stories. Essentially, I was looking for clues as to where #climatenarratives break down, or become meaningless, even for those convinced and caring. #climatechange

My latest in @sciam: How does #ClimateChange harm our #health today and threaten it tomorrow? Let me count the ways... THREAD (1/n)

1. The frequency, intensity, and duration of #ExtremeWeather events (heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods, storms) are increasing, with some of the first and worst impacts occurring in least-developed countries, whose people have contributed least to climate change. (2/n)
2. As average temperatures continue to rise, so will heat-related disorders. One shocking thing I've learnt is that an unforeseen example of human #ClimateCanaries has emerged in Central America , where 20,000+ sugarcane workers have died from chronic kidney disease. (3/n)

1. I happened to listen to @NPR for a few hours this morning, and I heard three stories that are very much connected to #climatechange without anyone on the radio mentioning climate change even once.

It was surreal and disturbing.

[thread]
2. The first story was about the current drought in Oregon. It focused on a rancher who is currently paying to have 18,000 gallons of water a day trucked in to water his livestock. (Yes, you read that right.)
3. The story discussed how much this water and its transport was costing the rancher; how long this drought has affected ranching in the West; and what the ranchers might do if the weather doesn't eventually return to normal (as if it would one day return to normal).
