I'm so sorry Zack. You know where we are if I can help at all.. 😞

The reasons I was given:
-> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.
More soon. It will be okay.

I have used CERES data myself in polar regions. It's good stuff. But it also has its quirks! But if it was a simple answer, we'd probably have solved it by now. Aerosol effects on radiative forcing are *really* complicated.

One of my all time favourite headlines (Generalises pretty well to all countries I should think).

This is a real problem for AMOC science communication. Public, journalists etc. absolutely have the engrained idea of the Gulf Stream being responsible for Europe's mild climate. It goes into a feedback loop when you explain the AMOC.. 'ah it sounds like you're talking about the Gulf Stream'!

Well yes. But given he now effectively has his hands on the control levers of the US government budget, I wonder if it really makes him nervous?

For us small countries, the objective and the primary mission of even having defense forces is not to _win_ wars.
It is to avoid having to fight in the first place.
That primary mission is now at a serious risk.
But undoubtedly we will make arrangements of our own, if Europe dithers once again.

Me neither! That's a *terrible* side effect! 🤯
I wonder if it's possible to test if I still have immunity to measles 🤔

De har intet lært af den katastrofale kandidatreform og folkeskolereformen. Sidste år skrev jeg dette sammen med tre forskere, der alle kæmpede i folkeskolen men blomstrede senere. Dem vil de hellere presse over i EPX i stedet for at styrke både praktiske og boglige fag.
