@bikemonterey@sfba.socialDavid Schmalz's report, currently the cover story of Monterey County Weekly, got us thinking about our first real awareness of some #Battery Storage challenges. It was former U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu who raised our awareness, in 2009.
BTW, in contrast to current Cabinet appointments:
"Chu's nomination to be Secretary of #Energy was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate….Chu is the first person appointed to the U.S. Cabinet after having won a #NobelPrize.”
"On February 1, 2013….in his resignation announcement, he warned of the risks of #ClimateChange from continued reliance on #FossilFuels, and wrote, 'the Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones; we transitioned to better solutions.’”

The Kyiv IndependentThis is an interesting article, you can sign up to read it for free. We hear a lot about RFK Jr. communication about the measles #vaccine but there is more: vaccine grants at the National Institute of Health and National Cancer Institute are being rescinded, vaccine advisory boards are in limbo, researchers are asked to remove references to #mRNA vaccine, the #nobelprize winning technology used for COVID vaccines which could be applied to treat and maybe cure #cancer.

"So the closest thing we have to an economic spokesman for this administration is Elon Musk, who sees dead people collecting Social Security. And here’s the thing: while there’s still a dwindling Musk/Tesla cult, to a first approximation everyone else hates Elon."

substack.comToday in History, March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein was born. In addition to being one of the most significant physicists of all time, he was also a pacifist. Yet his letter to President Roosevelt warning of the Nazi progress on atomic weapons research was arguably key to the U.S. implementation of the Manhatton Project, a decision he later lamented. In 1955, well after the Cold War and nuclear arms race had begun, he and ten other intellectuals and scientists, including other Nobel Prize laureates, like Bertrand Russell and Linus Pauling, wrote a manifesto warning of the dangers of nuclear weapons. Einstein also participated in the U.S. Civil Rights movement, calling racism America’s “worst disease.” Later in his life he began to support socialism, and he criticized the Bolsheviks for their barbarism. Einstein was also a Zionist, and supported Jews’ right to return to Palestine. However, he did not support a Jewish state, or an Arab state, to replace Mandatory Palestine. Rather, he wanted a free, bi-national Palestine in which Jews and Arabs shared sovereignty, living peacefully and equally with each other.

#KnowledgeBit: Why are the kernels in corncobs different colours?
The explanation lies in how different genes are expressed. Barbara McClintock studied genetics and "jumping #Genes" (Transposable element). She showed that parts of the corn's genetic code can shift from one place to another within its chromosomes.
This discovery earned her a #NobelPrize in 1983.
On this day in 1991: Ragnar Granit died, won 1967 #NobelPrize for showing electrical changes in eye when exposed to light #ThisDayInBiotech
