Fusion and Climate - Panel Discussion with Dr Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez (Research Scientist @MIT@twitter.com's Plasma Science and Fusion Center #PSFC), Kayla Miller (Director of Education, @energy_common@twitter.com) and Dr Arturo Dominguez (Head of the @PPPLsSciEd@twitter.com) with Jane Hotchkiss.

We had a really interesting conversation with Tom Boothe, director of the film Food Coop. A couple of the things that stood out for me: Erin Dale Mclellan's comments on "somatic democracy"; Tom Boothe's summary of Charles Gide's four stages in the growth of a cooperative movement; and Elizabeth Jesdale's lament that in her food co-op they are still making rich people richer (the capitalist producers of so much of the food sold even in food co-ops).

Just watched the film Food Coop, about the Park Slope Food Co-op, which I used to be a member of. Really well done view of the co-op from the standpoint of its members, emphasizing the economic and cultural impact of the member workshifts (my favorite aspect). It's not a puff piece, but not very critical, so I am really looking forward to the panel discussion moderated by @lauriewayne

This is a big test of the PSFC. I can't quite grasp how it is that a co-op with thousands of members who have a work requirement living in a densely populated city can't organize pick-up and delivery when in my sparsely populated town with no food co-op there are probably dozens of groups with little or no money organizing pick ups and delivery....???
