Today marks 6 months since I left scientific research for climate philanthropy (and a bit of impact investing). I absolutely love it but it’s a whole new world. What I’ve learned so far and how it’s helpful for my scientist and scicomm friends, a 🧵 (1/ ).

A new article just came out about our ongoing work developing a near real-time microplastics sensor for drinking water. The sensor aims to be faster, cheaper, and more efficient than our current sampling methods! @AppliedOceanSci .

My brother and sister-in-law evacuated the fires and got to my house around 9:20 yesterday. My sister-in-law was on a work zoom at 10. I just feel like we’re doing it all wrong. All of it.

I 100% agree with @Brownkyl1. Growing up in the pressure cooker of the Silicon Valley, these families were everywhere and they were rarely the kids that thrived in the long run. Or some in the short run.
Growing up, I saw lots of kids raised exactly like Vivek recommends. It typically didn’t pay off at all. (1/12)

My mom and uncle were talking about having mumps this weekend. This is all so recent. Please don’t let us go back.
I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

I phone banked in Nevada and they just texted me to call these voters tomorrow. This is a real problem. Volunteer with Nevada Dems to help!.
Apparently, they are calling these young voters to get them to cure their ballots, and they’re not answering their phones. Try texting!.

Almost nothing about plastic surprises me anymore but this one threw me for a loop.
Black plastic products—such as spatulas, sushi trays, and children’s toys—are regularly made from recycled electronic waste. Many of these products contain concerning levels of flame retardants—and they are leaching into our food, @ZoeSchlanger reports:

This is absolutely the weirdest and best part of Halloween.
"Mundane Halloween" returns!. It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!.
