One of her first edited books\, Motherhood the Elephant in the Laboratory: Women Scientists Speak Out gave voice to women scientists at all stages in their career facing the problems of working in traditional scientific institutions as parents and their creative and unique solutions for maintaining a meaningful life in science. A series of books that explored the evolution of life’s chemical defense responses followed. From Evolution in a Toxic World to Unnatural Selection and Natural Defense her books focus on how the chemicals we use to manage many pests and pathogens are instead pushing many of them to evolve and how we might reduce these selective pressures. Her most recent book\, Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic has been called sobering\, unsettling and “a short\, crisp introduction to the possibility of being devoured by fungi.” She is a fan of HBO’s Last of Us\, though does not live in fear of becoming a fungal zombie.

SUMMARY:Climate Salon: Tough Tech Meets Climate
DESCRIPTION:​It’s hard to build a company. It’s difficult when you’re building a physical product or hardware. And it’s really tough to scale. We hear time and again that for startups at the intersection of climate and other sectors\, internal factors like getting the tech to work seem challenging\, but its external factors — like regulations\, supply chain\, or stakeholder pushback — that are make or break. \n​For this Climate Salon\, we’re teaming up with The Engine to discuss what it takes to enable more hardware startups to scale\, faster. We’ll look at topics that cut across climate and other sectors: \n​Advancing biotech & human health \n​Decarbonizing heavy industry \n​Manufacturing alternative fuels  \n​Building critical infrastructure \n​Designing efficient compute \n​Thank you to MassMutual Ventures’ Climate Tech Fund and MassCEC for their generous sponsorship! \n​About our sponsors: \n​MassMutual Ventures (MMV) is a multistage global venture capital firm managing over $1 billion of investment capital with teams based in Boston\, Singapore\, and London.

SUMMARY:Transitioning from Heating Oil to Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar to learn how heat pumps compare to oil heat\, and about the Mass Save incentives available to help you switch to clean heating and create a more energy-efficient and comfortable residence. \nWhether you’re a renter\, landlord\, or a single-family homeowner\, it’s worth considering if a super-efficient electric heat pump might be a good alternative compared to buying a new heating oil burner (or an oil tank). Heat pumps come in a variety of styles and configurations\, and Mass Save offers big incentives to upgrade from oil to heat pumps.
