Hear from me every month!
This newsletter is where I think out loud about climate science, ocean systems, geoengineering, and what it takes to write fiction that grapples with complexity rather than collapsing into either techno-optimism or doom.
Newsletter topics include geoengineering, behind-the-scenes novel writing, science in fiction, real world science that affects you, and easy to understand climate explainers.
