Did we just buy a new drone for our coastal research group? Yes. Did we just name that new drone Rogue One to signify how it’s going to change how we study coastal systems? Perhaps.

It might be getting lost in all that’s going on but it’s personally uplifting to see the captain of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team is Mexican-American & the son of an immigrant from Mexico. For good measure, they’re also one of the top hockey players in the world. www.espn.com/olympics/hoc...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Proud of my hometown for showing up today but also disheartened by the ongoing assault it’s been experiencing from ICE since June. We’re L.A. and we’ll push through this.

40th anniversary of the Challenger tragedy. I recall seeing this in 7th grade. This was a diverse shuttle crew with Christa McAullife, Ronald McNair & Ellison Onizuka. There’s a scholarship named after McNair & tributes to Onizuka in Little Tokyo, L.A. as the first Japanese American in space.

Summer courses at Friday Harbor Labs have launched many scientific careers. Including mine. I was more reluctant to leave at the end of the course than other students.
I promise you will have fun and learn more than you can imagine.

While analyzing drone images from one of our offshore surveys in Monterey, our team came across a couple of humpback whales swimming through our study area. Always fun having these unexpected finds in our images.

Another year done. I saw my hometown Dodgers repeat as champions & saw people in my hometown push back against forces trying to disrupt what makes my hometown great. I traveled & found ways to keep STEM programs for underrepresented people running. Looking forward to the new year & better days.
