NSF cuts jeopardize US leadership in science in general! This focuses on computing but it is not good for any area of science

Happy love day to folks in the #meteorologist #meteorology community who sweated through years of fluid dynamics, horrific color maps, and people mad you don’t have a crystal ball, then took an underpaying job, just to find out you’re part of the “parasite class”

Congratulations to all the diseases out there. Y'alll worked hard, waited patiently, and took a lot of L's to make this happen. Hard work and patience pay off.

One of the biggest areas of AI hype right now is the notion that it will hyperaccelerate scientific progress. I understand why people think this — AI is already accelerating scientific _production_. 🧵

This is not on the most important 10,000 issues of the day but how is search on Apple Mail so bad? In 2025?

It’s very gratifying that the public and media is looking for answers to the questions in climate risk assessment that I think are important It’s unbelievably disappointing that there is so little interest in looking for the ✨right ✨ answer. A bad answer is not necessarily better than no answer

I sure love to see a paper I reviewed, and tried really hard to give constructive criticism to in spite of MAJOR problems, end up basically unchanged at another journal. Just more proof that our publishing system is awesome!

Even in warm climates like Texas and Florida, cold waves are “colder” (relative to comfortable indoor temp) than hot waves are hot. As shown in this work led by Yash Amonkar www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I’d like to imagine and build a world where we team up with China to tackle global issues instead of turning everything into an existential battle. Global issues are easier to address cooperatively. But even if we accept the zero-sum premise, playing to lose is madness.

Please please please tell your friends and neighbors that a lifted truck with summer tires is the WORST possible vehicle to drive in the snow

Also applies to PhD applicants! “Weird” can just mean “have very specific skills or interests that you have clearly pursued”

Teaching Faculty hiring Student recruiting Peer review Mentoring Don't think I appreciated the extent to which my job is "reviewing other peoples' ideas and (much less well) ability"

The 'Quad-Demic' is here (FLU, COVID, RSV, Norovirus). We want hospitals with clean air! Thank you for speaking out @evonnetcurran.bsky.social and @cvcev.bsky.social "Safe healthcare should be a basic expectation." inews.co.uk/news/health/...

US-based #water folks -- are you excited for 2025?

Re upping this conversation w @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social due to timeline interest, but the bottom line is you should check other sources of info, including your federal state and local government flood management maps

Grades are in, my regular reminder that I hate grading and have never worked out a decent pedagogical take on what the purpose of grading should be. Thoughts welcome!
