The podcast I write for, Chris Morgan's The Wild, won a silver in the Signal Awards! It was in the sustainability and environment category for our 'Buffalo Boys' episode. We were also the listener's choice in that genre. Kudos to the team!

Stoked to share the first episode of the new season. Working with the team is one of the joys of my professional life. #NowListening There's a bear in my swimming pool! from The Wild with Chris Morgan on @CastBox_FM castbox.fm/x/3Nb4t
It is being described as "a week of apoplexy over AI safety." I'm an ethicist who has looked at a string of emerging technologies. Here are a few thoughts. #artificialintelligence, #ethics, #technology, #autonomousvehicles, #AI, #robotics

Really proud of how this latest episode of The Wild came out. Terrific production by Lucy Soucek, tender narration by Chris Morgan, gallons of humor from the Buffalo Boys. Please listen and share widely. Really grateful to be a scriptwriter for this show.

Pointing clearly towards the need for DACC.

But as I wrote recently in @NoemaMag, DACC needs to work on its trust problem.
Tune in tomorrow night (Wednesday) to PBS's Human Footprint: The Vanishing Act, and you'll see me in a cameo talking about extinction....and deextinction. 9 pm EST.

Permanent, durable, believable…this was a good article on Industrial carbon capture is a climate strategy environmentalists love to hate.
Those committed to its development are trying to win back allies they sorely need. | @SyntheticAge in @NoemaMag noemamag.com/climate-delusio… noemamag.com/climate-delusio…
This story absorbed an enormous amount of my energy and attention as it came together. Making carbon capture persuasive is, in the end, an ethics problem. I sketch the ethical issues here.
“The atmospheric math is unequivocal. Carbon must be pulled from the sky to stop the Earth from warming dangerously.”
So why are so many environmentalists vehemently opposed to carbon capture?
@SyntheticAge investigates.

Good science. Hyped-up headline.
Scientists claim they have resurrected the dire wolf
There are several things that need to align if you're going to bring the dire wolf back: first, the genetics in the nucleus; second, the genetics outside the nucleus; and third, the environment...-@SyntheticAge
