It's #COP30 (this week and next), and world leaders have another opportunity to negotiate agreements to address, among other things, “thirsty” and “gassy” A.I. use.

Thirsty and Gassy
A.I. has serious energy–water–climate implications. But without a uniform way to quantify A.I. energy-water use, it's hard to distinguish breakthroughs from greenwashing.

Y’know, I really had a goddamn delightful time at #SciWri25. I learned some great stuff from other speakers, we had soooo many laughs at our panel & I saw friends I haven’t seen in ages.
PLUS I talked to some younger folks in the industry who challenged my thinking.

Still processing all I took in at #SciWri25, but I know one thing: Science writers are crazy inspiring and determined people who will never stop seeking and sharing the facts. So grateful to learn from them, thanks to the huge efforts of @sciencewriters.org and @sciencewriting.bsky.social.

Next #SciWri25 session is all about those data centers. Will learn if they are good, bad, ugly or all 3.
I would love it if public discourse on data centers could be just a skosh more sophisticated than "data centers good vs. data centers bad."
