We lost a hero today. Thank you for showing us what courage is. Rest in power, sir. #goodtrouble
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble
Very, very sorry to hear. Kirk literally changed how people think about health risk transitions, air quality, development, and so much more. A phenomenal scholar, mentor, person.
Kirk Smith ... to an amazing friend and mentor who opened the fields of energy, health, and climate to me.
