There are two possible outcomes: If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. Enrico Fermi, physicist and Nobel laureate (1901-1954) This understanding stems from Aristotle. It is fundamental to the methods of research in the natural sciences and engineering since Galileo (1564-1642).

California is considering using its empty highway land for solar panels, batteries, and power lines to meet clean energy targets. A bill awaits the governor's signature to evaluate the land's suitability for renewable energy development, supporting clean energy jobs and generating revenue. Other states have successfully implemented similar projects, offering a template for California to follow. The potential for gigawatts of solar power and high-voltage transmission on highway rights of way could aid the energy transition and decarbonization efforts.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires in Ontario and Quebec caused hazy conditions on the East Coast of the USA. Joe Duggan reached out to climate scientists in 2014 to ask them how climate change made them feel. This led to the creation of a website where scientists shared their handwritten responses. Duggan has recently asked them to write again, to see if their feelings have changed. The first 10 letters reveal emotions of despair, hope, fear, and determination in the face of the climate crisis.

There are few scientists, wildlife experts who recognize and work on “feral” ecologies. The disasters which are occuring because of our past and current practices. Ecologies that have been encouraged by human-built infrastructures, but which have developed and spread beyond human control. Way beyond imagination sometimes. For example the co-evolution of humans and domestic dogs has now reached a critical …
