Amazing @earthinstitute #sustainwhat chat started with Larry Altman covering @VP candidate Eagleton pulling out of '72 race over undisclosed depression treatment, ended exploring @DrMarcSiegel's plan to give @POTUS a #COVID19 checkup live on @TuckerCarlson tonight. Links below⤵️
Watch @Laurie_Garrett @nytimes' 40-year veteran presidential-health reporter Larry Altman, & @deborahblum of @KSJatMIT: Periscope pscp.tv/w/1jMJgXpOQqPxL
Quite a moment playing clip of @realDonaldTrump in Limbaugh “rally” saying, “The people of our country are smarter than the people that cover them,” then seeking reaction from 3 reporters with, no kidding, 100 combined years of pandemic & health reporting: pscp.tv/Revkin/1jMJgXp…

Rare chance to AMA Larry Altman, 1pm ET. Hard to find anyone with deeper perspective in a week with a @POTUS, the press & an exhausted public flailing amid a pandemic. He edited @CDCMMWR early days, covered presidents' health 40 years for @nytimes -joined by two Pulitzer winners! Image
You really have to meet Larry Altman, who's currently a global fellow at @TheWilsonCenter but wore a fascinating hat in the CDC smallpox unit in '65 (pic via @JHSPH_CHS) and did the first presidential interview on health with Reagan for @nytimes in '80: j.mp/larryaltman 1/ ImageImage
Here's @deborahblum, who directs @KSJatMIT and writes spellbinding science histories: deborahblum.com 2/ Image

I'm blown away by the idea blitz & connectivity at our first face-to-face @columbia @earthinstitute #climatecomm #sustcomm network meetup & workshop. Despite snow, ~100 students, staff, faculty, alums explored ways to accelerate & spread climate & CO2 progress. A few threads: 1/
@DrKateMarvel, Cynthia T. of @climatesociety, @climateofgavin, Jeremy H. of @earthinstitute & others focused on building a creative & effective arts/climate relationship. More soon! Relevant reading: @alexisfrasz artplaceamerica.org/blog/5-things-… @thinkprogress thinkprogress.org/art-culture-cl… 2/
We explored humor & climate (yes) via a visit by @RollieWilliams, aka "Al Gore", host of @InconvenientTS! I mentioned one of my favorite examples of student #climateart with purpose - a Halifax art student's Facebook chat among endangered species (linked to a @WWF campaign) 3/

Blown away by the turnout, insights & brainstorming on #coveringclimateHOW (vital facet of #coveringclimatenow) at our first @BrownInstitute @earthinstitute #sustcomm #climatecomm mixer. Scientists & journalists huddling over random stories to find new angles. And what a mix! 1/
And led off by a fine panel on pathways to effective climate reporting featuring Moses Shumow of @EmersonSOC, @SominiSengupta of @nytclimate & @johnupton of @climatecentral, which is doing great partnerships/collaborative journalism (including with @earthinstitute soon). 2/
Where else can you hear a chat involving a PhD in education design (@omangen), climate-focused comedian (@chucknicecomic) and the architect of endclimatesilence.org and scholar of #climatechange usage (@DoctorVive)? 3/

More coming soon on our @earthinstitute #SustainWhat blog!
