I recently joined many other climate scientists to present in the 100-hour Weather & Climate Livestream. My talk about methane and the collapse of the USSR is linked below. Big shout-out to all the organizers (@wclivestream.bsky.social, @smheflin.bsky.social, ...)!

NASA is currently in the process of selecting the next Earth Science satellites. Carbon-I is one of the final mission concepts! Christian Frankenberg and Anna Michalak are hosting a webinar about the mission on March 13, 2025 at 9:00am PST. Signup link:

The new NIH guidance *claims* that they can deviate from the negotiated rate for both future and current grants and cites 45 CFR Appendix III to Part 75, § C.7.a as justification. However, code for federal regulation they cite seems to state the opposite.

I named my group's HPC system "Hermes" after the Greek god. Apparently, some folks thought I named it after the French luxury store "Hermès."

To clarify: our HPC system runs on grants, not Birkin bags. I added some flavor text to help clear things up.

This one is my favorite.

Some UW ATMOS grad students performed songs about life as an atmospheric chemist yesterday.

-Nosedive by Post Malone about working with analytical instrumentation
-Its Fine Its Cool by Chappell Roan about assuming atmospheric OH is constant

Excited to see folks at #AGU24 this week! Some presentations from my group members. Lots of stuff on Friday this year.

Today I learned that: a) I have a Bluesky account and b) I have friends on aforementioned Bluesky account.

I have zero recollection of making this, but thanks for this revelation @reobrien.bsky.social!
