The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming | David Wallace-Wells

Happy Friday, Littens! This week I added a bunch of new words to my manuscript. I'd love to finish this draft by the end of the month 🤞🤞🤞.

I've slowly been reading this book. It's emotionally exhausting & heartbreaking but necessary. I'm learning a lot but struggling to find hope. There is so much work to be done, on such a large scale, & it feels so impossible but it doesn't mean we should just give up. Anyway, this is #requiredreading

readordierachel Good luck with your manuscript! 5y

Suet624 Best wishes on getting this words out. 5y

JennyM Keep getting those words out....can‘t wait to read them😊 5y

valeriegeary @JennyM @readordierachel @Suet624 thank you! You all are so nice! ❤️❤️ 5y

Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots | John Markoff

Avoiding my other schoolwork responsibilities by reading this book for class.... 🤷‍♀️ I‘m still technically doing homework right?

wanderinglynn That‘s a lot of tabs! 😂 what is the class you‘re reading it for? 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn It‘s a current issues in science, technology and environmental policy course. I have a to write a summary on my thoughts of it at the end of each book. I have a tendency of highlighting a lot in the scientific articles I read but I just can‘t do that with books so I tab them lol 6y

wanderinglynn Ah, I understand. I have problems marking up books too. But the class sounds interesting. I‘m an environmental attorney, so dealing with environmental policy is a part of my job. And of course, there are huge overlaps with science & tech. 👍🏻 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn that‘s so interesting!!! Is there a specific focus you have??? I‘m currently working on research on equity and affordability concerns for access to drinking water. 6y

wanderinglynn I work for the US government (currently the Dept of the Navy). So my focus has been mostly on water and one hot topic is PFAS, which among other things is found in firefighting foam. It‘s not currently a listed toxin with the EPA, but many states are looking into it. 6y

wanderinglynn The PFAS chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body—meaning they don‘t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. So the Navy is trying to get ahead of state regulation & develop policy on the use & potential cleanup of PFAS. 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn so are you guys focused primarily on just looking into potential levels in regulations or are you guys also looking into alternative sources that can be used for the foam? 6y

wanderinglynn Both. 6y

The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win | Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, George Spafford

pan

This was not for me. The characters were poorly developed. It was like an after school special for the business world. I‘d have rather read the companion business book. There was an excerpt at the end and that was the most interesting part. #RequiredReading #20of65

Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future | Gretchen Bakke Ph D

so-so

3.25⭐️

I think this is a really good book for anyone who is interested in a basic foundation on the energy industry and the struggles we will be facing with striving to gain large percentages of their energy from renewables. There are some concerns from my friends in the energy sector about some of the information not completely describing things accurately but overall felt it was a good foundation to build off of.

The Gene: An Intimate History | Siddhartha Mukherjee

I can definitely say that I never expected myself to put off reading a fantasy novel to keep pick up a required book on the history of genes. Wow, I can‘t get enough of this and the audiobook that I‘m listening too simultaneously is superb!
