I’m happy to announce our next regular HPAC meeting this Thursday 3/23 at 5 PM EDT. Note that this is 30 minutes later than our usual starting time.

Climate scientist  Zeke Hausfather will be in conversation with us. 

Zeke was described by the New York Times as “ a seemingly timeless chronicler, charter, and commentator on all things Climate.”

He is Climate Research Lead at Stripe and Breakthrough Senior Fellow.  

Stripe is a global technology company recently valued at $50 billion that builds economic infrastructure for the Internet. 

As their climate research lead, he helps “to scale permanent carbon removal to meet the challenges of dealing with hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy and drawing down atmospheric CO2 later in the century.”

“He is a climate scientist and energy systems analyst whose research focuses on observational temperature records, climate models, and mitigation technologies. He spent 10 years working as a data scientist and entrepreneur in the cleantech sector, where he was the lead data scientist at Essess, the chief scientist at C3.ai, and the cofounder and chief scientist of Efficiency 2.0. He also worked as a research scientist with Berkeley Earth, was the senior climate analyst at Project Drawdown, and the US analyst for Carbon Brief. 

He has masters degrees in environmental science from Yale University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a PhD in climate science from the University of California, Berkeley.”
