Happy to announce the publication of an open-access article discussing alternatives to the planetary boundaries framework that can better enhance science-policy linkages for chemicals governance co-authored with @noelleselin.bsky.social

This is a HUGE win…and one that happened because we ~collectively~ said “NO!”
But AAAS coming in and saying on record to the NYT “Science is doing ok. Things are not bad at all…” is baffling.
If things are hard for you as a scientist, please share in the comments.

📣 Job alert! 📣 Harvard Kennedy School is running 2 open-rank faculty searches in technology & public policy. One position is specifically for scholars using data science to address public problems. Please help us spread the word! academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/15561
Big up to @rdzombak.bsky.social for bringing eyes to this story. 🧪
So many people beyond my little cohort of fellows are impacted by slowdowns at NOAA. America is rapidly losing footing as a leader in climate science and we all are paying the cost.
Highlighting work on #airquality and #climate in the latest CS3 newsletter!
This is likely not 100-level, but a former postdoc in my group put together a tutorial on linear vs ML climate emulation, including risk of overfitting, which might be useful. nbviewer.org/github/blutj... (based, in part, on work that led to this preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2408.05288)
And another one even closer… tpp.mit.edu
Full Statement of Robert Schlögl on academic freedom in the USA.
We stand united with US academia in defence of science!
The Humboldt Foundation is deeply concerned about the growing threats to #AcademicFreedom in the USA.
📜 Our president Robert Schlögl calls for global solidarity to protect the science systems:
While @mitofficial.bsky.social (to my great disappointment) is not on Bluesky, the video about its resesarch and importance to the nation (which was posted on X/Instagram late yesterday), and dedication to continuing it, is worth sharing here. youtu.be/r7R8ewU1Wqc?...
thanks!
Hi, I'd like to be added to the geoscience feed, here's my institutional web page (Prof in EAPS at MIT): eaps.mit.edu/people/facul...
What can we do to enhance human well-being in current & future generations? This year’s Global Change Forum, hosted by MIT CS3, explored emerging research in the field of sustainability #science and how decision-makers might translate that knowledge into action that advances #sustainability goals.
In 1957, Strom Thurmond held the Senate for 24 hours and 18 minutes to block the passage of a Civil Rights bill.
In 2025, Cory Booker held the Senate for 24 hours and >19+ minutes to defend freedom & democracy.

Three days left for US researchers and practitioners to respond to the call for experts for the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report!

Today and every day: Let’s commit to empowering women, ensuring that their voices are heard and their work is valued – in science and society.
Together, we can create a more equitable future for women all around the world!

Congrats!
Added bonus: Because of my time at TUM and my international collaborations between Boston University and TUM, TUM President Thomas Hofmann gave me the title "TUM Ambassador" during a wonderful ceremony last December! @bupardeeschool.bsky.social @bostonu.bsky.social @bu-igs.bsky.social
I'm honored to be the recipient of this award from @humboldt-foundation.de and very excited to be visiting @tumuenchen.bsky.social soon!
While the annual average for #GlobalWarming may bob above and below #1.5°C in the coming years, it will eventually stay above the threshold, likely by the mid-2030s, says MIT CS3 Deputy Director C. Adam Schlosser. How concerned should we be, and what kind of response is warranted? bit.ly/3DTBTzv
The upcoming 2024 #AGU Fall Meeting includes 29 MIT CS3-affiliated co-authors of presentations, and conveners of conference sessions. Their 39 presentations and sessions span multiple research topics, including #Earth and societal system #modeling, air quality/ #health, and #climate. bit.ly/4hSTCH1
And I'm happy to announce that @mit-cs3.bsky.social is now on BlueSky! Please follow us for updates on our integrated sustainability research aimed at informing decision makers and addressing global change. More content coming soon....
Congrats! Be sure to come visit us at MIT when you are back in the US.
Thanks for including me -- just followed the whole list!
Greetings, bluesky! I'm still figuring out where everything is over here, but meanwhile, you can find out what I and colleagues are up to at the Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy (CS3) at MIT here cs3.mit.edu
