To work on this problem check out https://workonclimate.org/ Founded by two ex-Google employees.

From their About: “Work on Climate quickly built the world’s largest and most successful community of its sort – with tens of thousands of members around the globe, thousands of whom have found climate jobs and started companies”.

Not affiliated but I ran into this initiative recently.

I'm working on AppQuery, a Ruby gem that makes raw SQL for Rails more intuitive https://rubygems.org/gems/appquery.

You put queries in a file `app/queries/foo.sql.erb`. Casting works and can be customised. There's ERB-support for parameterisation, with helpers like order_by and paginate.

The gem can parse and rewrite CTEs which allows for 1) rewriting the query such that basic queries (first, take, count etc.) are performant (Rails does `resultset.count`). And 2) given your query contains CTEs, it allows to write tests per CTE.

There’s one currently on the frontpage.

Summary via tldw.tube: The video explores concerns about the integrity and trustworthiness of scientific research, particularly in the field of physics. The speaker shares a confidential email received years prior, wherein a colleague expresses worries about the impact of critical publications on the community, suggesting that some researchers prioritize personal gain over public accountability.

Also keep an eye on https://www.gotheborg.se/en/about-gotheborg/ in case they decide to go on another expedition. Highly recommended.
