Museums are beloved. Where else can you get industry, academia, government, and the general public to come together on common ground to think out loud about the world we want?
Kudos to the Museum of Science, Boston, for working with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Justice and Equity to host forums to engage public conversations about emerging technologies—including on harnessing hydrogen and community benefits plans. Thanks to DOE for the summary. https://lnkd.in/eygeVhZm

What can you do to help prevent light pollution? Light pollution is when human activities such as the lighting of buildings impact natural outdoor light levels, leading to negative effects on wildlife, human health, and our view of the night sky. You can help prevent light pollution by changing your habits to include responsible lighting practices and advocating for legislation to protect dark skies! Contact your representatives and senators to help ensure we can preserve our dark skies in Massachusetts by filling out this form: https://bit.ly/4bCWX9z
