Retired Biochemist, Climate Activist, Science Geek. I'm working with others to get biochemists (researchers, educators) and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) to address climate change and its mitigation.
To help biochemists/educators incorporate climate change into their courses and for their students, I've written Chapter 32: Biochemistry and Climate Change, part of Fundamentals of Biochemistry, a LibreText book.

Empowering Students to Understand Climate Change and Recognize Disinformation
Climate change caused predominately by carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use is a critical issue for our future. It is incumbent on science educators to learn about it and teach it in ways that il...

We must advocate for our professional organizations and colleagues to address climate change in their courses and research. Students seek relevance. Climate change could not be more relevant. Here is one paper we wrote. Another to follow.

Introducing climate change into the biochemistry and molecular biology curriculum
Our climate is changing due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases from the production and use of fossil fuels. Present atmospheric levels of CO2 were last seen 3 million years ago, when plan...

I started in astronomy, saw the light, switched to physics, felt the existential quantum angst and escaped into chemistry and became a biochemist. Finally, late in my career, I felt the heat and became a climate activist.
