Finally solved.

Anyone know an editor at “discover sustainability” a nature journal? They have signed me up to do a review that I did not agree to and they refuse to do anything but send me reminders every day. I have emailed them three times at the official address. Help!

Sunrise was brief, but beautiful this morning #okwx

Fiery orange sky sunrise

Sunrise was on fire this morning and then if you turned around, you had a sunrise rainbow! #okwx

This was nice, someone not hating science and instead singing to it.

That is my goal! Been actively looking at foundations online but appreciate any recommendations too. We have a spreadsheet of places to apply to but I suspect there are a lot more out there.

White House cuts to science funding threaten AI weather forecasting institute The Trump administration has proposed a 55% budget cut for the National Science Foundation, but Congress has yet to pass a budget.

More news on AI2ES. Please help save science funding in general but also help save AI for weather!

Thank you!

Thank you! And yes, he is but he doesn't control independent agencies, just helps set budgets. Unfortunately, NSF is implementing much of the PBR in advance

Thank you! It is devastating news but we are searching for a way to move forward and still do amazing work.

You would think that would help but federal cuts are brutal right now.

This is AI2ES, my AI institute. No way around it other than to say this is really awful. We are doing so many amazing things! We want to keep doing amazing things but without this level of funding, we will not be able to do so.

This is the definition of a failed social media platform.

24 hour rainfall for Oklahoma showing nothing in central ok

Central Oklahoma needs rain too! Sigh. #okwx

Sunset behind trees

Sunset was 🔥 tonight #okwx

Vulture in a tree

This vulture followed us on our hike this morning … waiting for one of us to not make it back?? We disappointed if and all got back!

No, they are miniature schnauzers. If they were giant schnauzers, that would be a really big lawnmower!

Giant robot lawnmower with two schnauzers looking at it

This was the other fun surprise on the south oval last night, apparently OU has a new robot lawnmower! We didn’t get to see it in action, but it’s quite large! Schnauzers for scale!

Lol Merlin informed me I have seen it before! But I did fix it :) and I have definitely learned the difference now, thank you all!!

I’ll go re-submit as a yellow crowned night heron! And get a lifer :)

I actively avoid other dogs so if you had yours, probably why! I never know who is friendly…

We usually start at sarkeys and loop through the north oval and south oval. That heron was just south of the library

Google image search says yellow crowned night heron and Merlin says yellow or black crowned (despite it offering me blue when I searched before). I agree with you that the second stripe seems to match the yellow crown much better. I don’t see much yellow crown though

I thought it was a blue heron, but I’m not a knowledgeable birder! Merlin offered both when I asked it.

I don’t think so, the AQI is 60 right now. I think it was just clouds and the right angle with sunrise.

Morning, red sky behind some trees

That almost looks like fire, but it’s just sunrise through the trees #okwx

If you don’t understand Oklahoma, you can’t understand America A Black man like me is not supposed to love Oklahoma. But in studying my home state’s history of violence, theft and wild ambitions, I learned to reckon with its legacy

"Oklahoma is a map of America’s legacies. It doesn’t pretend to be a blank slate. Instead, its history offers a truer, unvarnished portrait of America, with its ambitions, its erasures, its stubborn beauty and its almost devotional violence."
