This Monday in @sciencepolitics.bsky.social Brandon Hunter-Pazzara asks: "The question is not whether international development’s effectiveness should be studied, but whether American society is open-minded enough to accept what that research might reveal."

A great piece in Science Politics by Liz Klein on how to engage on climate change work in the current moment. Now is not the time to stop saying the words “climate change.” Instead, double down on science and communicate the benefits of climate solutions.
