I'll be giving a talk at Utrecht University on the flower industry and how it has hidden costs globally. I'll be connecting the biggest flower market in the world in the Netherlands to Columbia's growing fields, critically examining these Global commodity chains.

Can we just say this out loud? The muted and almost light tone of coverage of this guy breaking into an airport and managing to board a plane with a LOADED SHOTGUN would be wildly different if he wasn't white.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

Having trouble managing the flood of messages from biologist pals chortling that Trump's anti-trans executive order legally defines every American as female, because defines people by their gender at conception, and all embryos are phenotypically female (they differentiate after 6-7 weeks).

Apropos of nothing at all, a demonstration of how Japan has kept fire from an extremely fire-prone thatch-roof village for more than 2 centuries--by using both ingenious infrastructure and turning fire preparedness into civic festivals that tourists pay to attend.

It’s bizarre how the US ruling class take holidays in European cities where they can enjoy nice public spaces, public transit, pedestrianised streets, mixed-use neighbourhoods, public healthcare and nice architecture, and then go home and deny these things to their citizens.
