Prof of Medicine @hughmontgomery.bsky.social says climate is biggest risk to health.
“I am scared” he says.
Web of impacts of climate lead to wars and societal collapse.
Plant-based diets and cuts to new oil and gas are among the tools Gov needs to promote.

The NSF social sciences program has funded some of the best research I’ve seen, especially at the PhD level. There really isn’t another country in the world with the equivalent funding capacity to fill this gap, and the damage from this choice will be felt for a long time.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

Talking about this with @resiliencesci.bsky.social this morning while in class break. China is an example of rapid transformations and large scale ecological experimentation we can learn from
A quiet EV upside the FT highlights: less noise.
Cities like Beijing and Shanghai are already seeing calmer, quieter streets—and better sleep—as EV adoption rises.
EVs are notably quieter at low speeds, though tyre noise dominates above ~50 km/h.
