So honored to receive this award from Department of Energy Office of Vehicle Technologies. Some of the work that is mentioned I did thirty years ago! It took some time for recognition, but here it finally is.

Hey #LCA people, does anyone do work on #PlanetaryBoundaries? I've only recently encountered this subject and need to do some homework to learn more. Do you find it useful for contextualizing your environmental impact results? Any recommendations for papers to read?

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

Freedom only survives if we protect it. We must speak the truth. The election was not stolen. America has not failed.

This is leadership. This is integrity. This is Liz Cheney. And I’m damn proud to support her.
“Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” says GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, defiant on the eve of a vote that may determine her political future. “I will not sit back and watch in silence while others...join the former President’s campaign to undermine our democracy."
