Sunrise isn't always my favorite time to get up and get to work, but it does have its perks during the field season.

I just gave to Gina Ortiz Jones! Show your support with a contribution.

Dems need to fight EVERYWHERE, esp. locally. San Antonio is the nation's 7th largest city, and its mayoral election is coming up. If Gina Ortiz Jones wins, it'll send a powerful signal. She's a vet, former Air Force Under Secretary, an all-around badass, and a good friend. Please chip in.

Right now teaching feels so important. My students are engaged, often staying after class to talk with me or to talk with guest speakers. More students are coming to class and doing the readings. If they shut us down I will teach in the park or the library. The only way forward is through together.

When you have field work but also have to teach an online class, so you ask your buddy to give a guest seminar on radiative transfer models while you fly your drones.

I recently organized a scientific workshop with the aim of being the dumbest person in the room and its success was glorious. We're putting together plans for another such event in Oxford this summer.

There is a WWII-era saying: β€œIf there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”

If you voted for #Trump, you are a #Nazi.
