No matter where people fall on the political spectrum, Arizonans can agree that we all love nature here.
Our top concerns for our forests are wildfire and recreation opportunities. The recent policy changes in the Forest Service hit these pain points, hard.

I remember when I told Yuk I wanted to be an astrobiologist. He said I was in luck: “Astrobiology is like marijuana. Fifteen years ago, it was unthinkable to do, but today it is totally acceptable.”
I hope I don’t lose too many friends over this but…I wrote an essay about why Pluto isn’t a planet—and why it matters.
#OverheardAtCarnegie: "If god created life, are we the best that god could do?"
This is a neat piece my @miquai.bsky.social for @sequencermag.bsky.social: What do Pluto and whales have in common? For starters, they can be easily misunderstood if we only judge them based on their looks. Their past makes them much more complex.
A new solution that doubles as a climate solution and a way to accelerate forest treatment against wildfires?
Arizona: "Sign me up!"
Finally, a feel-good story I wrote for @azcentral.com in this age of climate change and smokey summers:
#OverheardAtCarnegie: “You learn something new every day! Of course, when you get to my age, you also forget something new every day!”

I'm currently visiting @caltech.edu, where @plutokiller.com works, so I thought this would be a good time to remind you all why I don't think Pluto is a planet.

As Arizona heads into a potentially fiery summer, the U.S. Forest Service is dealing with budget cuts and new fire policies.
