This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Now THAT is behavioural science in action! Most people do want to be more environmentally friendly. We need to understand the barriers to action, not just the drivers (hint: it's not always just about money).
Interesting program launched by MCE in the Bay Area that incentivizes contractors to give homeowners who need a new water heater a temp "loaner" heater before later converting them to heat pump water heaters. Takes the pressure off without saddling customers w/ new ~20yr gas investment
I published a story today, Emily, about a clever new program in the SF Bay Area that gives homeowners time to opt for a heat pump water heater in cases like the one you described: www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/taking-the-e...
