Happy Earth day! 🌎 We all have a role to play in helping protect our planet for generations to come. Actions big and small will make a difference! I’m using my scientific background to help develop policy solutions as a S&TPolicyFellowships Fellow. What will you do?

Energy-efficient housing not only benefits the climate, but has economic, health, and social benefits as well. Fun to staff an in person hearing as part of my S&TPolicyFellowships!

Climate action in 3 steps: 1. Reduce everything we can, as much as we can, first. 2. Offset the rest (which is impossible to do if we don't reduce everything we can first). 3. Build resilience to the impacts we can no longer avoid. Why? Because the only other choice is suffering.

Proud to be working with such a brilliant UMN Climate Adaptation Partnership team to ensure that Minnesota communities are resilient now and in the future. Collaborative efforts are how we will solve this climate crisis!

This is devastating news, for our planet, America, and the world. But we can’t let this stop us from tackling the climate crisis.

Good policy brief by former colleagues CaSP_UWMadison highlighting how we can source the metals needed for the clean energy transition from secondary sources!

Holy shit. Stunned, but in a good way. $370B for climate and energy and 40% emissions reduction by 2030. BFD. cnn.com/2022/07/27/pol…

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will help move the US toward cleaner energy sources, enhance American competitiveness, and tackle inflation. What’s in the bill? Tina Smith breaks it down on the @climatepod. Take a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sen…

Like I said before — this is a BIG deal. Senate Democrats got climate, health care, deficit reduction and tax fairness done – without the help of a single Republican.

I just witnessed history in the US Senate chamber. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have worked with so many talented colleagues as a S&TPolicyFellowships Fellow to pass strong climate legislation! It’s been a wild ride…

This law was written with the American people in mind. It’s to lower energy costs for working families. It’s for our children and grandchildren to live in the Minnesota we love without fear of the climate crisis. startribune.com/tina-smith-why…

When I started in the Senate last year, I couldn’t have imagined the adventure that would follow! I am grateful for the opportunity to have served my home state and learn first hand about policymaking. Thank you Tina Smith, AGU Science Policy, and S&TPolicyFellowships for this experience!

Carbon dioxide is giving Earth a jolt! Did you know there’s about 400 parts per million (ppm) of caffeine in coffee? There's over 400 ppm of CO₂ in our atmosphere today. If you've felt the surge of caffeine hitting your system, you've experienced the effects of just 400 ppm.

I am always inspired when I have the opportunity to speak with the next generation of #STEM leaders — including the 50th class of AAAS Fellows. Over the years, AAAS fellows have been the innovators & researchers who move our country forward. I'm excited to see what's to come.

The climate crisis is a water crisis. The NASA #SWOT satellite will map Earth’s surface #water in unprecedented detail — a game changer for advancing USAID’s vision of a #WaterSecureWorld and work to build community climate resilience. Read on👇🏼 globalwaters.org/resources/asse…

Happy to be in Kenya for #USAIDWASH week to hear from Ambassador Whitman and help launch their high priority country water development plan and over $100 million in new WASH investments.
