We opened the doors to the new IAEA Visitor Centre in Seibersdorf, Austria today! The inauguration ceremony took place on the sidelines of #IAEAGC. IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi was joined by Austrian Ambassador Gabriella Sellner as well as those of other countries, and

Are you attending the #IAEAGC #ScientificForum next week? Bring two 500ml water bottles from your home country and help us grow the IAEA Bottled Water Project! IAEA scientists use nuclear techniques to trace the origins of bottled water around the world and study plastic

Time is of the essence when it comes to climate change. So it makes sense to wonder "how long it takes to build an NPP?" when hearing that nuclear is a climate change solution. Check out this week's #JustAsk to find out! #Atoms4Climate

The people have spoken and the @iaeaorg is listening! First up, "Why do we need nuclear energy if renewables are an option?". Because they can't do the job alone. #JustAsk #Atoms4Climate

This network holds the 🌍's largest and most comprehensive collection of isotope data on water from our atmosphere. Scientists and policymakers use its data to help them understand and protect the world's vital water resources. https://t.co/6yQdYpUPJZ

The energy transition requires greater investment in nuclear if we are to achieve net-zero. Nuclear has the capacity to support renewables, when need be, while emitting minimal CO2. How minimal? Between 5.1-6.4 g/kWh(e) over a plant's lifetime. That's >100 times lower than coal!

thanks mom for having me #44 and sissy #46

@boburnham really thought i wouldn't spiral as bad this time considering i am on the otherside of the world for this one... i was wrong

shout out to @boburnham for providing an excellent album to jam out to while getting the existential dread zoomies out before bed #Election2024 #inside

Life update: Today was my first day as Associate Climate Change Advocacy and Outreach Officer for the International Atomic Energy Agency. I am so excited to start this new career journey in Vienna. Wish me luck!

Today's low: 57 degrees Today's high: the Republican Party in complete disarray

it was too easy - just joined🧵

In short, it seems to be a systematic breakdown of power for an employer to decide the legal opportunity for their employees to unionize, where they can work after moving on, and what volunteer activities they can do outside of work. Odd way to suppress workers' rights.

Both Senators have plausible deniability for their bills being retaliation against staffers' efforts to unionize. However, it is hard to deny that, at least for SB-573, its submission doesn't have a slight tone of malice towards capitol staffers.

SB-251's author (Sen. Josh Newman) voted in favor of AB-1577 last legislative session, and SB-573's author (Sen. Aisha Wahab) was only first elected in 2022.

What I don't understand is why the Senate is now using it to target their own staffers? Is it a response to staffers' renewed efforts to pass legislation allowing them to unionize? AB-1577 passed the Senate last year but failed in the Assembly.

Here is this fun pamphlet I found about the prop from 1974! 🤓 https://t.co/igYLLqHCCh

Both are amendments to the Political Reform Act of 1974. A voter-passed ballot initiative (Prop 9) that fortified campaign finance reform in California. Since 1974, PRA has been strengthened numerous times both by voters and the legislature.

That bill was watered down considerably & now only committee consultants are restricted from holding lobbying jobs for 1 year after leaving.
