Glad to be wrapping up the academic year by sharing out my work w/ 2 very different audiences: eco restorationists in CA and design researchers in Europe, hoping to show that these activities are related and should be in conversation 📝

"No care without proximity" - an idea author & designer Ezio Manzini uses to inspire design scenarios as shared at @cmudesign this week. Nice to spend some time in proximity with my fellow PhDs and our visitor Ezio!

Wonderful 3 days camping & restoring oaks🌳with @KanyonLlc, @suddenoaklife and the Ecocamp Coyote community using #firemimicry -- just as the buzz from the weekend wears off, the poison oak sets in, a lingering reminder of the fun 💚

Bye Pittsburgh! A solid dose of academic chats, pierogis, fall foliage and PA midterm energy. Plus, met some great people in person for the first time. See you next time 🌉🥟🍁📓

Jokes from a @JohnFetterman canvassing effort today with @PADems : *volunteer gestures to a giant bag of PA apples* "An apple a day keeps Dr. Oz away" 🍎🍏 @tikicarlson and I sure do hope so! ✌️🗳

Went to Pittsburgh last week! Lovely to spend some time getting re-acquainted with the people and places of my PhD program @cmudesign and this fine city. Year 3, here we go🤓

Yesterday, I spent the morning doing #restoration work in the Caldor Fire 🔥 burn area near Meyers, CA. This work is about creation (of new trails) and destruction (of old trail infrastructure rendered dangerous by fires). Plus, found a mystery 🌻

I am LIVID. @interior is barreling towards approving @conocophillips’s massive arctic drilling project (Willow). This is insanity when our planet is burning and we have a President who pledged to be a climate leader. We have to stop this. eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-…
