Somewhat delayed because of Covid, I'm finally going to give my "inaugural lecture", which is a short, hopefully accessible, public talk: in my case "Some things I've learned about software"! All are welcome!

For perspective: a recent study suggested that economic savings from just a *single* well-predicted hurricane, thanks to NOAA research advancements, are on order of *$5 billion.* That exceeds NOAA's *entire proposed annual operating budget.* So much for government efficiency.

Happy that our (@iccscambridge.bsky.social) JOSS paper on FTorch has been accepted and is now out. This is a really neat library, smoothly enabling coupling of ML models developed in PyTorch into Fortran code, now being used in various climate models (+ other scientific domains too). Well done team!
