Meteorologist by training, physics prof by day, soccer player by night. Mom also by day (and night).
Just threw up my hands in disbelief that the dataset I’m using has latitude North to South instead of South to North like the rest of my data.
It’s comforting how, even as the world falls apart, some things stay the same.

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy

The details in the article are even worse than the headline. This would be DEVASTATING for so many reasons.
BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.
Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Yesterday I spoke at the Stand Up For Science rally in Buffalo, NY about the impacts of the cuts to NOAA and the NWS on all of us. I was loud. Let’s all be loud. #saveNOAA

Trump's budget plan may cut NASA science funding by up to 50%, alarming scientists who call it an "extinction-level event" for space science. This threatens ongoing missions and would cede future space exploration to China. Also, about 30% of NASA's science budget is for Earth and climate science.

My favorite part of prepping for a new semester is dream big phase:
group project with rubrics! Short videos to supplement lectures!
I spend the day learning and exploring how to implement these ideas. How long can I stay in this place?? (classes start 1/22)
