It's a joy to write when I get to center and cite my colleagues' work & explain why it's so important. I'm especially delighted that the citations in this piece are 1000 words longer than the text itself.

I proposed a project on water supply and wildfires after the 2017 Tubbs Fire - first time I’d seen wildfire directly impact urban water infrastructure. There was little information out there so I partnered with @gregspierce.bsky.social to hold a multidisciplinary + multi-sectoral expert workshop.

One of the main issues wee outlined in our fire/water report was about water availability during fires. Despite article focus on this being an LA problem, it’s a widespread problem. Many recommendations here for addressing (hint: during a fire is too late) innovation.luskin.ucla.edu/wp-content/u...
