My university affiliations give me access to almost all published academic papers, which is essential to knowledge and learning. There is *zero* legitimate reason that this should not be extended to everyone. Access to knowledge should not be a privilege but a right.

What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? A thread… A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

My co-authors in Uganda have to ask me for access to an article they led on!! Because they do not have access via their institutions. The whole system is broken. Can journals at least give access to the authors of an article they have written? ⚖️

To avert climate catastrophe, the main emitters must drastically cut emissions starting this year. This means accelerating the end of our fossil fuel addiction, and speeding the deployment of clean renewable energy. Every second counts. It's time for urgent #ClimateAction.

People often ask why this conflict is so intractable. And I think there are two reasons, one “simple” and one more complicated. The simple one—simple only in that it’s easy to describe and agree on—is that this is not a traditional “border dispute,” like most international
