Hi, I’m an engineer passionate about climate change and the clean energy transition. I love and work on geothermal energy technology.
I’ve also been a transportation nerd (trains, buses, planes, cable cars, you name it) for as long as I can remember.

@Sheril

Add in Rosalind Franklin who isolated and showed the structure of DNA through crystallography and Emmy Noether who put the maths behind the harder parts of Einsteins work, both to little acclaim and you see the iceberg tip of what women have given to Science despite the challenges put in front of them. https://whythisuniverse.buzzsprout.com/1162613/8615000-28-how-emmy-noether-changed-physics-forever

@Sheril ,Lise Meitner who was the first to explain nuclear fission and did not get the credit for it is another sad example (as many others) of a woman scientist not getting recognition for breakthrough discoveries. https://theconversation.com/lise-meitner-the-forgotten-woman-of-nuclear-physics-who-deserved-a-nobel-prize-106220
Lise Meitner – the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize

Left off publications due to Nazi prejudice, this Jewish woman lost her rightful place in the scientific pantheon as the discoverer of nuclear fission.

@Ouij @vallery totally agree. The separate school bus system also starves other transit. If kids took regular scheduled buses to school there would be a much wider support in society for frequent, reliable and safe bus networks. The school bus system is such a negative force acting against a strong transit system.

Sie schlummert in der Tiefe, ist ganzjährig verlässlich vorhanden – bislang aber nur unzureichend erschlossen: Erdwärme oder im Fachjargon Geothermie. Deshalb haben wir einen Konsultationsprozess gestartet, mit dem Ziel, das große Potenzial der Erdwärme für eine klimaneutrale und zuverlässige Wärmeversorgung in Deutschland umfassend zu nutzen. Viele Kommunen, wie die Gemeinde in Gräfelfing, stehen in den Startlöchern, um die Wärmeversorgung umzustellen. Mehr Infos hier ➡️ https://www.bmwk.de/Redaktion/DE/Pressemitteilungen/2022/11/20221111-geothermie-fuer-die-waermewende.html

@rhiggitt There is a post from @Gargron from 2018 where he explains that in his opinion a quoting feature adds toxicity by speaking to one's audience instead of engaging with the author by replying. I can see his point about how it often is used on twitter in a negative way.
