| Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Wednesday, 01 May 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. Today is Canopy Lab Lunch. Every Wednesday at noon, I meet with the small cadre of students who are working or volunteering in my lab on projects related to forest canopy work. Because the Evergreen State College is a small, undergraduate-centered institution, I don't have many graduate students. So I try to cultivate the ... |

| Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Tuesday, 30 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My boiled egg this morning was a bit on the soft side. I caught a look of concern from my nine-year old daughter, Erika, but I reassured her that it was okay. After breakfast, I spent much of the morning plugging away on a quest for funding for a project that started five years ago, to build a forest canopy walkway on o ... |

My day starts as most do: calling upstairs for my two children to rouse themselves for the beginning of the day. I then put on an egg to boil, a slice of toast to brown. I've been eating the same breakfast for the last three years, and even though the items of food are the same, I have come to learn that each day's breakfast ... |

Leadership 101
The key is learning to learn |
Donella H. Meadows |
13 Nov 2000 |
Global Citizen |
| During the weekend before Election Day, as midgets battled furiously on warped playing fields, two giants fell, both yielding their lives peacefully, knowingly, with dignity, to cancer. The better-known one was David Brower, the great outdoorsman and thunderer for the environment. Even in his 70s and 80s he was still shaking up the Sierra Club, inspiring Friends of the Earth, galvanizing college students with his pa ... |

Soapbox |
| What more is there to say about a man who wrote three autobiographies, has been profiled in virtually every magazine (from the New Yorker on down), and was interviewed on every television and radio show worth its salt? David Brower, 1912-2000. Photo: Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund. I speak of David Brower, my friend and idol for a lifetime, who died Sunday in Berkeley, Calif., at the age of 88. D ... |

| Ten days into the year 2000, as the media were abuzz with the merger of America Online and Time Warner, the Internet wafted to me the Dalai Lama's millennium address. It's a strange global info-world that brings those two pieces of information to one's attention on the same day. The Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama remarked that there is nothing special about a new millennium. The ticking over of zeroes doesn't change anything. "If we really wan ... |

| O, environmental writers. The religious scribes of our day. I love them but I fear them too, because of the way self-righteousness can rear up like some suddenly animated pond scum in a Stephen King movie and cover the picnic, the teenagers, everything that was ever fun and alive and moving around. Wait, it's not that bad. It's just that I find my environmental angst a lot easier to take when it's served ... |
