From the first #EarthDay: Students in St. Louis marched wearing masks to protest smog and air pollution.
The inaugural 1970 protests drew millions, and led to the creation of the EPA and clean air standards.
With science under greater attack than ever, we need more of this activism today!

New UX models have friction.
The Mach E has a push button door: push the button first, pop the door. It works once "you've read the manual" Two problems:
1. As I approached the car at Avis it was dark, I couldn't see the button at all so couldn't get it, I had to ask someone to let me in.
2. When I picked up my son at the airport, he had no idea how to open the passenger door so I had to open it from the inside.
Ford may keep this, but it's going to be a painful road. #ux

Given the White House wants U.S. women to have more babies, my talk “Rethinking Population” from 2014 seems particularly relevant.
The key theme is that all around the world, women with an education, the ability to enter the workforce & access to healthcare & medicine choose to have fewer children.
