The 100-Hour Weather & Climate Livestream, Part 6 YouTube video by The Weather & Climate Livestream

I recently joined many other climate scientists to present in the 100-hour Weather & Climate Livestream. My talk about methane and the collapse of the USSR is linked below. Big shout-out to all the organizers (@wclivestream.bsky.social, @smheflin.bsky.social, ...)!

The new NIH guidance *claims* that they can deviate from the negotiated rate for both future and current grants and cites 45 CFR Appendix III to Part 75, Β§ C.7.a as justification. However, code for federal regulation they cite seems to state the opposite.

I named my group's HPC system "Hermes" after the Greek god. Apparently, some folks thought I named it after the French luxury store "Hermès."

To clarify: our HPC system runs on grants, not Birkin bags. I added some flavor text to help clear things up.

Some UW ATMOS grad students performed songs about life as an atmospheric chemist yesterday.

-Its Fine Its Cool by Chappell Roan about assuming atmospheric OH is constant

Several will be at #AGU if you want their autographs

Today I learned that: a) I have a Bluesky account and b) I have friends on aforementioned Bluesky account.

I have zero recollection of making this, but thanks for this revelation @reobrien.bsky.social!
