Could someone explain to me how marine "carbon capture" by CaCO3 precipitation (in this example, via coprecipitation with brucite) isn't a net negative impact because of how much alkalinity it consumes? advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A Compact Hollow Fiber Electrode Assembly Architecture for Continuous Electrochemical Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

A coaxial, membrane-integrated hollow fiber electrode assembly (HFEA) is developed for continuous marine carbon mineralization. By utilizing a sub-millimeter inter-electrode gap, the HFEA minimizes O...

Dear lord, what are they trying to AVOID discovery of? Cancelling grants solely because the state where the grantee happens to be located did not vote for Trump is the less damaging thing they will admit in writing?

It's part of a major federal court case over those cancelations. Here's what the government admitted as part of a process meant to avoid discovery (and perhaps spare it from sharing more damaging records):

I feel like I've been hanging out at the intersection between passion and profession (which is itself a total privilege), but my @simonsfoundation.org Pivot Fellowship year is trying to seek the center

The Japanese concept of #ikigai boils down the search for meaning in life into four questions. 1) What do you love? 2) What are you good at? 3) What does the world need from you? 4) What can you get paid for?

The #AspenAcresFire, still burning quite actively along southern Colorado Front Range & having destroyed ~200 structures thus far, has become an exceptionally complex & challenging event from a firefighting perspective due to a confluence of climate, weather, & geography. [Thread]

"Program managers would normally rush to inform potential and current grantees about such dramatic changes. But the memo tells program managers to keep their mouths shut. 'This information is highly confidential...Please do not communicate anything to PIs.'” www.science.org/content/arti...

This is a really good point for those of you writing comments to OMB on the harm of the proposed funding rules changes. Make it specific, make it count! Avoid form letters, which can be batched.

OMB must answer substantive comments. It can batch and dismiss form letters. So make yours impossible to average away: "[200.340] I'm in year 3 of a 5-year PhD funded by an R01. This rule means my advisor's grant can end before I defend." One section. One fact. One consequence.
