Gold standard science, everyone

Cats are and always have been cyberpunks

Over the weekend, the Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed numerous structures along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

This three-day satellite animation shows the evolution of this fire and one other, burning in northern Arizona.

We’re at the “fuck” stage right now.

BREAKING: Federal agencies paid a private cloud seeding company to spray Texas skies—just 2 days before deadly floods killed 60+. No public comment. No oversight. No accountability. Call it weather modification. Call it a conspiracy. But it’s happening.

jfc, I got an email from a fact checker about whether cloud seeding could have caused the Texas floods.

The answer: cloud seeding is (almost always) a scam. For many many many reasons, it is not responsible for the flooding.

Journal plagued with problematic papers, likely from paper mills, pauses submissions The halt will let Taylor & Francis focus on checking Bioengineered’s papers for fraudulent works and paid authorships

Exclusive: A major scientific publisher, Taylor & Francis, said it has paused submissions to its journal Bioengineered so editors there can investigate some 1000 of its papers that bear signs they contain manipulated results or came from paper mills. scim.ag/4kjR4la

I don't think ever in my life have I seen a dragonfly turn its head, let alone look straight at me while I had a camera pointed at it!

A two-panel meme featuring Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the top panel, Geordi is shown with his hand raised in a dismissive gesture, wearing his characteristic golden uniform and metallic visor, with a disapproving expression. The text reads "Using trees to offset fossil fuel CO₂ emissions." In the bottom panel, Geordi is shown with an approving gesture, pointing forward with his finger and a pleased expression. The text reads "Planting trees for shade and just because."

Let's see if this is clear…

Meteorology Job Alert: who wants to write a forbidden romance story?

I can see it now…

Stormy Weather, the sordid tale of a National Hurricane Center forecaster and a meteorological developer who specializes in programming for the NAM.

“One wonders whether this hooked rug is a vivid portrayal of a beloved, smiling pet or just a fond tribute to the canine species in general. It embodies the droll adage, "Let sleeping dogs lie."”

Sorry about the reflections but I thought you should see this dog. It’s a hooked rug from the late 19th century, seen last year in the “Pets and the City” exhibit at the New-York Historical Society.

An indoor air quality standard seems like a no brainer in class rooms / offices / public places? Nowadays we monitor/control everything it seems but air quality? Measuring is not that hard. It allows informed decisions.

Why is it that developing research questions is so hard for students?

What are we NOT teaching that makes it so difficult for them to craft a well-designed research question?

I see this with both qualitative and quantitative research questions.

Quick. Somebody tell Trump that the best way to own Elon is to restore all research grants and double NSF funding.

Dark humor is what keeps us sane

Did another interview where I was asked how I study disasters and stay "optimistic".

This is very confusing for me because I am not optimistic. I am extremely pessimistic.

I think people mistake my making jokes for being optimistic. The memes are a coping mechanism, guys. It's all very bad.

A large conference held in a modern, well-lit venue with floor-to-ceiling windows. The room is filled with round tables surrounded by attendees engaged in listening to a speaker on a stage at the front. The backdrop on the stage reads “Carbon to Sea Initiative – Annual Convening.” The audience is diverse in terms of gender and age, mostly dressed in business casual attire. In the center foreground, one attendee is prominently visible from the back, wearing a black T-shirt with bold, yellow pixel-style text that reads “CARS RUIN CITIES.” On each side of the stage, large projector screens display an illustration of a woman holding a sign that says “Carbon to Sea Initiative – Annual Convening.” There are coffee mugs, notepads, laptops, and plates with pastries on the tables. A camera operator stands on a platform in the back left corner of the room, capturing the event. The venue is decorated with plants and modern lighting.

Find me in a crowd.

Thousands Evacuate in Canada as Multiple Wildfires Rage

Massive fires in Manitoba displacing thousands and sending thick clouds of smoke to the east.

Eastern Canadians and Americans underestimate how severe fire risk is becoming beyond the usual western wildfire areas — and how ubiquitous smoke impacts are becoming.

My desire to be well-informed is at odds with my desire to remain sane

This is what a Cold Air Front looks like from Space

I think there are valid criticisms of science but I prefer it to the alternative of "just making stuff up"
