I read this 4 times trying to figure out how submarines cause landslides.
Did someone say World Glacier Day? I still love this shot of our boat from field work in Prince William Sound, Alaska last summer. We were up there up there studying submarine landslides and will hopefully be back this summer. 🧪⚒️

Hi Adam, I take your point that the quadratic formula can be presented in a way that does not inspire understanding or affection. And it sounds like that's how it was taught to you. So let me try to make a better case for it. Here's how I discussed it in my book The Joy of x. (1/9)

When they can't collect payment, they raise prices to make up that loss.

Plus they need to have all the administration of a mortgage loan servicer to try to collect those amounts. Which of course also puts people who can't afford the cost, in medical debt, which often leads to bankruptcy

I thought it might be worth introducing myself here as most people might not know me and what I do.

My name is Niall and I am on a mission to save street dogs around the world.

This is me with Tina. A very special dog. This is my story…. (1/8) 🧵

Hi! So happy to be here! Thanks Sayed!
Please give a warm Blue Sky welcome to my friend and real world colleague @jentensivist.bsky.social who just joined here!

If you’ve ever read my stories and seen “the intensivist” mentioned, 9 times out of 10 it’s referring to her.

She inspires me to be better. 🙏🏼
