It has been an honor to help bring Missouri's first Guidelines for Conservation Siting of Energy Infrastructure to the public. The guidelines help policymakers and energy developers make informed decisions about where to put wind and solar projects - without impacting Missouri's wildlife and priority conservation landscapes.

A host of people and organizations poured knowledge and energy (pun intended) into this project, while I stepped in at the very end to offer some copy editing, design, production, and simple website design. Print copies will be available soon, but an interactive digital edition can already be found here: https://moguidelines.net/

Here are some ways the dynamics of retail and services may be impacted near term and in the years to come by the aftereffects of the coronavirus pandemic.

A new center of excellence for Rapid DNA has opened, combining DNA analysis technology with hands-on DNA training.
