crazy things i learned about hops while working on this shoot for @ekonoke_ and @brutamerica : (1) it's seriously threatened by climate change. (2) something like 80% of the world's hops comes from 2 states in the US. (3) no one had successfully harvested it indoors before!
It’s official: Climate change could seriously impact beer production.
But this organization, @ekonoke_, is growing hops that would remain climate-resistant year round.
With @100_accelerator.
my amazing colleague @leohamelin and the documentary team at @brutamerica could win a Webby award! or two! vote for them with the links below. and watch the docs, they are courageous.

my colleague @RemyBuisine was physically harassed by the police multiple times while covering the protests in Paris. there's another clip from his live where an officer picks him up and drags him by the collar by an officer. this is why some French journalists wear helmets.
Rémy Buisine, agressé par la police en plein travail lors d'une manif contre la réforme des retraites à Paris, brandit sa carte de presse (Images: @LeMediaTV). C'est le schéma du maintien de l'ordre @NunezLaurent @prefpolice? (cc @SNJ_national)
another officer grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against a car:

groups like @NRDC have been pushing to have toxic PFAS chemicals regulated for years. now regulations are finally on the way. to learn more, watch the video we made with NRDC and @KarishmaPorwal3 for @brutamerica last year -- still relevant! up on IG now.

BREAKING: This SWAT team in Atlanta today killed a land defender trying to stop construction of a misguided "police academy" funded by corporations such as @Amazon and @HomeDepot. Must be investigated.
Self-defense or targeted killing? @defendATLforest

the technology featured in this video I worked on is astounding -- hope it can be used to increase mobility for people in many different situations. thank you to Sam Schmidt @arrowglobal @arrowmclarensp and @fosgoodwood for the inspiration. story for @brutamerica.
He was paralyzed in an accident on the race track 20 years ago. Now he's racing again, thanks to a technology he developed with @ArrowGlobal. This is Sam Schmidt's story ...
