There are two ways to make clouds: 1. introduce a source of vapor, or 2. introduce cooling to condense gases that are already present. Last night, we saw the second type when the rocket reached a sudden temperature drop at the top of the troposphere, and the water in the exhaust suddenly condensed.

My class rearranged the solar system as part of an ice breaker. Each person got to make one change. It was as pleasantly chaotic as I thought it would be.

It's important to find joy in small, everyday things. Like a home team win, and a free, new, tiny friend.

Vega, the Bald Eagle at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore was rescued the times before being deemed unreleasable. She has a neurological condition that makes it hard for her to fly, even though he wings are fine. I love her so much.

Richard Cartwright did such a good build-up and reveal of the Uranian moon spectra on his last slide that I wanted to clap right then. 😂 #showmanship #AGU24

I found a very cool water bottle that looks like it must belong to an #AGU24 attendee. If you've lost yours, please find it at the lost and found!

Did I just commit myself to carrying around a roll of paper nearly half my height for the next 9 hours? Yes. Is it worth it for a free geological map poster of The Keystone State? Absolutely. #AGU24

I've only lived in Baltimore for 4 months, and already, I'm so tired of people telling me it's dangerous. There are dangers, but not from the people.

Does anyone at #AGU24 study light pollution or its impacts on health?

Great talk by Bianca Corpuz on the health impact of extreme heat events in Baltimore. I'll add another reason why we should care about extreme heat in Baltimore: it's the third-largest majority Black city in the US - extreme heat events in Baltimore are a climate/social justice issue! #AGU24

Serious #AGU24 science from Bill McKinnon that also kind of funny - Saturn's moon Mimas might be a little bit hollow. Imagine: a sailor on the Mimas ocean would gaze up at a celestial sphere of ice.

Jay Inslee tells #AGU24: “scientists have a lot more power than they think.” He recommends scientists should connect with their elected officials to help make a difference to address climate change and the clean energy transition. I couldn’t agree more!

TIL that ravens used to be common across all of North America, but had mostly disappeared from the east coast by 1900. But recently, they've been expanding their range east again.
