With a commitment to lifelong learning, Dr. Lane has embarked on a multifaceted career path, serving as executive director of Ignis Studios Inc. since 2021 and holding positions as associate professor and state specialist at Washington State University. He has also been deeply involved in academia, holding roles as assistant professor and county director at Washington State University. Dr. Lane’s professional journey is marked by innovation and creativity, which is evident in his founding roles with the Backwoods Music and Camping Festival and Outlaw Entertainment Group. Additionally, his military service as a mechanic and Seabee in the U.S. Navy from 1991 to 1999 reflects his commitment to service and duty.
I started experimenting with social media a few years ago. Several of my hypotheses around the various forms of media are being backed by science and medical journals. Some of these hypotheses had a positive impact. Some have been negative.
Regardless of any sentiment, I have found that short stories have a huge impact on the day to day lives of others and long-term effect on their life path. One message I have been able to share far and wide on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and other channels are centered on the importance of certificates and microcredntials, which can create stackable learning pathways to subject matter expertise.
Do you have relationships with elected officials or public servants? You can help them!
Take a look at my article on how to use a basic evaluation as a tool to achieve policy development in partnership with elected officials at a local, county, state, or federal basis.
Through a novel approach with citizen-science to energy use and local food system development, we have discovered a way using action research to repurpose, recycle, and re-use heat from digital assets. #thinkingcap #poic
With the science behind low thermal heat induction, we are growing food in the middle of winter with free energy. Typically, this greenhouse technology is very expensive and with paying for energy once we are able to use the energy multiple times with earth batteries/banks and other technologies.
The workforce and industry has evolved. Colleges and universities much adapt and overcome this rapidly evolving environment impacted by technology, politics, and demographics. To learn about the LER, you can learn more here:

As access to fresh produce and local food gains more traction, greenhouse development in microclimate environments is an important, if not critical, aspect of the food system and entrepreneurial activity. Alongside the growing importance of fresh food and produce are the aspects of energy complicated by many aspects. In this case, there are opportunities to repurpose energy for two or three revolutions through low level thermal energy and heat induction.
Specifically, is it possible to exchange added value energy from heat into multiple verticals that include food, hydrology, or geospatial distribution? To test this novel theory, we have developed the Sensible Heat Utilizing Recovery Technique (SHURT) model.
We will be testing and evaluating different layers of the SHURT model in a small greenhouse (14×30) to propagate, grow, and harvest test crops (like tomatoes, lettuce, etc.) for local consumption using a variety of heat exchanges from data centers and other digital assets to water, earth, and greenhouse infrastructure.
The loss of small farms and decreased access to local foods is causing tribes and rural communities to rethink their approaches to balance. The rules or regulations impacting farms and ranches has far reaching implications as we deal with rural decay and urban sprawl.
Food knows no boundaries. When people are hungry, politics are irrelevant.
The importance of healthy nutritious local food and produce is important to personal and social health. Healthy people make healthy communities making good decisions. With challenges in the supply chain, we make recommendations for policy to help communities innovate and pivot.

Land use, traffic, and all of the rules or regulations that impact farms has far reaching implications as we deal with rural decay and urban sprawl. The loss of small farms and decreased access to local foods is causing communities to rethink their approaches to balance.
