Have been on this bus an hour since leaving Manchester airport. It's still in Manchester. It's supposed to be an *express* bus to Leeds. According to the timetable it's faster (and certainly cheaper) than the train.

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #antarctica, in spite of increased […]

Jeg har i denne uge fået at vide, at en af vores sekretærer* i forskningsafdelingen er blevet ramt af den fyringsrunde i staten, som også har berørt DMI.

Hun er på udkig efter andre stillinger, så hvis du leder efter en effektiv, venlig og erfaren administrativ medarbejder, så giv mig et kald […]

I learnt this week that one of our research department secretaries* has been caught up in the round of redundancies in the state that has also affected DMI.

She's looking for other positions, so if you're looking for an efficient, friendly and experienced administrative helper, give me a shout […]

What the photos don't show are the other 11 months a year of grinding toil, converting data sets, finding storage, swearing at the hpc, answering billions of emails, organising transport of hazardous +/or fragile materials long distances and all the other things that I actually spend my time on...
