I haven’t a clue what I am doing. The following list is partial, I’m sure I’ll think of more when I relax over this social site migration…
I love nature, animals (dogs, cats, donkeys, owls, squirrels, axolotls [etc], comedy, skill, music, ceramics—wheel & slab.

“Name a book you hate” can go to hell.

Name the shit you love. Name the writers you love. Name the books you can’t put down, the ones you re-read every year. Name the best film you’ve ever seen.

This rage bait bullshit feeding off negativity is a dark beast and I have no time for it.

Unfortunately, federally funded climate adaptation science and services are being cut well ahead of the FY26 budget.

We've been doing our best to speak up for what would be lost if the Climate Adaptation Science Centers are eliminated.
The White House is proposing to eliminate funding for climate adaptation science in the next federal budget.

Researchers explain the federally-funded work they’ve been doing to help reduce the harm climate change is causing to lives and livelihoods. buff.ly/Pr7lEVG 🌎 #climatesky

Science will be deeply impacted by this for years to come. The US will no longer be a leader in so many fields. I am so sad and incredibly angry.
A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.
