The Great Heat Death

Featured on the RWJF Social Work Health Futures Lab.

I had intended to write about heat. Heat death. Fascinating and terrible that extreme heat events – consistently the climate-related disaster with the highest rates of mortality – have, until recently, not captured the attention of media and minds. What is it about heat that wants to remain unseen? Or, what is it about ourselves that would prefer not to see it?

Tragedy of the comments

I started a Substack to practice the art of “not letting perfect get in the way of doing.” It’s a creative experiment and not to be taken too seriously by anyone - especially me. It’s mostly bad and I’m fine with that.

eclipse 2024

One of my sisters and I are working on a pitch for our hometown in anticipation of the total solar eclipse of 2024. Our hometown is right in the path of totality and we’re hoping to help the little city plan and market a series of educational events for the community. It helps that my sister is an incredible scientist and educator.

Fingers crossed we’ll have more to share soon.
