Is there an alternative World Series audio feed where I can turn off the commentary and turn up the organ music?

I just had a guest lecture on the history of fusion, and it occurred to me that it’s kind of wild that we’ve only known for 100 years what the stars are made of and the process that powers them thanks to trailblazers like Claudia Payne-Gaposchkin.

I am in the process of getting a heat pump through the IRA HEAR program and can attest it would be a huge time (and probably money) saver if you can virtually estimate a home’s heating/cooling load instead of sending folks out for a calculation. Could be equivalent to Google Sunroof for solar.

Being in both the climate and academic spheres, I can’t start my emails to colleagues with the standard “Hope you are doing well” when clearly that is not the case right now 😭

I would open a museum that would be physical representations of Mitch Hedberg jokes. Like it would have a vending machine that dispenses vending machines, a forklift lifting a crate of forks, an escalator that is temporarily stairs, a Chair Lunch Dinner next to the Bed & Breakfast, etc.

Happy “Find Out” day, everybody! Or maybe it’s more like the start of “Find Out” season?

Wow this skeet made it into this article from The Conversation: theconversation.com/how-to-find-...

So, EJScreen was scrubbed today from the EPA website. And I found out right in the middle of a class I was teaching today about free online tools for energy and environmental policy. 🧵 #energysky

I wonder how much energy academia has collectively wasted by always including a decaf option (that maybe 1-2 drink max) in a catering order with coffee. That’d be a good LCA homework assignment.

My daughter’s class made custom notepads for each parent, and mine drew a bunch of computers because I’m on my computer a lot for work. The only thing that would make it more perfect would be if it was made into a T-shirt and the computer screen said “Learn Respect.” #itysl

Never thought this would happen, but two of my favorite subjects (climate change and ITYSL) are together at last. grist.org/culture/tim-...

“Want me to zinc your sniffer?” Every time I apply sunscreen to myself or my kids.

I didn’t appreciate until this talk that using high temp. solid oxide electrolysis instead of PEM is more efficient, needs less electricity, and doesn’t need rare materials for catalysts like Pt. Just need a cheap source of heat (CSP, industrial waste heat, etc.) energy.wisc.edu/events/high-...

Well, I don’t have any posts on here yet, and I don’t have a ton of original ideas to share (that are interesting, anyway), so I thought I’d use this platform to share quick insights gained from the events and guest speakers that I host on a regular basis.
