Brazil went from being a dictatorship in the 80s that saw trees as worthless, to reducing deforestation x5 in the Amazon from 2004 to 2012 Here's my candid conversation with @gcamara, previous director for INPE on the story behind this Watch: youtu.be/Al732MeH128

spacenews.com/jpl-to-lay-off… Not to be a doomer but it really looks like we don't have our priorities right as a people. These are the people advancing science which is supposed to mitigate the kind of 'rare' natural disasters that have affected California twice in two years.

JPL to lay off 8% of workforce

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Feb. 6 it will lay off 530 employees, about 8% of its staff, citing uncertainty about its budget for 2024.

DEI programs didn't cause Boeing's failure, just like 'wokeness' didn't cause Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last year. The answer you're looking for is the thousands of corporate lobbyists teeming through Congress every day to help deregulate safety standards on behalf of ultra-rich shareholders.

I'm really happy that it's taking off like this. It's still running for some time, if it's continuing like this, it'll be really great in the end.

SatCamp was amazing Hanging out with a bunch of people working on the future of mapping, Earth observations and tech was insightful and energising Taking the time to talk and listen to a lot of people I knew only online so far -and new ones- all while in the mountains was great. We work in very technical, online stuff, but behind every keyboard are people. This was a good reminder I’m more excited than ever to be working in this field
