    Instead of complaining in these difficult times about what the pandemic prevents us from doing, let us do something for someone who has less: not the umpteenth gift for ourselves and our friends, but for a person in need whom no-one thinks of!

    This is a super complicated topic, and I am grateful to the many scientists who took the time to walk me through it all. Please read the story for full details. 6/6 feat.

    Well said. Implementing responsibility does actually require looking closer ...

    Corn 's contribution to security is often overstated. We convert 1/3 of the we grow in the 🇺🇸 to , but that offsets just 1/15 of our gasoline use. We could offset just as much gasoline by increasing our average fuel economy by 2 mpg (22 to 24)! 🌽⛽️

    -based solutions => "new" options for getting where we all want to go...

    Particles formed in the atmosphere through gas-to-particle conversion at ~1 nm in size are found to grow to climate relevant sizes where they affect visibility and human health. In Megacities, these particles grow enough to participate in what is found to be a huge environmental nightmare , 'haze'. The smallest particles in Beijing are formed from gaseous sulfuric acid and ammonia/ amines which are ubiquitous, and grow via condensation of organics and nitrate which are equally available throughout the country. Therefore, in order to alleviate the air pollution problem, a.k.a. haze, we suggest in this paper to start with controlling the new particle formation and growth process in an attempt to decrease the overall mass formation.
    Is reducing new particle formation a plausible solution to mitigate particulate air pollution in Beijing and other Chinese megacities? Read more

    Asking a question, designing a study, deciding what to measure/how/what scale is also setting an agenda by framing problem and/or solution. Agenda setting is power.

    Parachute science is not a solution 🔽 “Local capacity cannot be built if locals are not trained or engage in the process of analyzing data and developing technical reports.”

    This too!  “You have to embody skills in your own self. Science is not a transaction, you have to collaborate. But unless you actually embody it in yourself you cannot execute it,”

    The best thing for me: “Whenever someone pitches an idea, we don’t give 20 reasons why it’s not going to work. Rather, we add to it by saying, it’s an interesting idea and here are the things you need to consider”.
