going to #AGU25 next week? come watch me realize in real time that I've been studying Snowball Earth for four years and still can't reliably pronounce "glaciation" out loud
Screenshot of conference program with text: PP13C-0896 Repeated Snowball-hothouse cycles within the Neoproterozoic Sturtian Glaciation. Monday, 15 December 2025. 14:15-17:45. Hall EFG (Poster Hall) (NOLA CC) Rolled-up poster with words "hothouse" and "Glaciation" visible in the title. Most of the poster isn't visible but a couple edges of line plots are exposed and a few words ("Temperature (K)", "rapid freezing", "cycle imbalance forces", and "hot, ice-free climates").

spotted an extremely Cambridge, MA box of free books (not pictured: stacks of 70s Star Trek novels)
Picture of three books stacked on top of a cardboard box labeled "free." Books are Machine Translation by Thierry Poibeau, Positive Nihilism: My Confrontation with Heidegger by Hartmut Lange, and Types and Programming Languages

slowly finding more ways to sneak aperiodic monotiles into my apartment

officially passed the first year of my PhD ✅

got complimented on my dinosaur pants by adorable children coming out of the natural history museum next to my department ✅
A picture from a distance of me presenting a slide with the words "Modeling initiation of Snowball Earth events through silicate weathering of Large Igneous Provinces" projected on a large screen in a lecture hall A mirror selfie of me, a white personality with brown hair, putting my knee on the bathroom counter to show that I've replaced part of the fabric of my pants with a dinosaur print. There are also dinosaur patches on the other side of my pants. I'm wearing a black KN95 mask and black sweater over a button-down.
