Well… the dilemma of publicly highlighting important work vs raising scrutiny from federal agencies is not something I was even anticipating to navigate.

Supporting my colleagues now seemingly means keeping quiet about their amazing work. Oof.

... and a rescaled version where you can see just how large that flood really was!

Celebrating 75 years of continuous discharge at my favorite USGS gauge: Lookout Creek near Blue River, OR (14161500), at the outlet of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest #LTER.

*live music, which we love. So I guess that “love music” isn’t the worst typo I’ve ever made… 🤦

Harry Potter screening with love symphony? Don’t mind if we do! Thanks, Hult Center, for such a fun way to introduce kiddos to symphonies!!

About 20 years ago - our first Thanksgiving together - we started the tradition of using this cow creamer thing for gravy. It is every bit as disgusting today as it was back then.

Perfect night for a football game in Corvallis! #GoBeavs

Sometimes Department Head means lots of paperwork, policies, budgets, and so on. But sometimes it means you get to explore campus with a new friend so their parent can focus on class when their plans go sideways. Today was the later sort of sometimes.

Perfect summer evening watching the Corvallis Knights. ⚾️

River day with these goofballs!

Advertisement for our AGU session with a large title "Working with wundergrads?" followed by the session title (H134 Undergraduate Research on Water Quality and Resources). The description says "Join us for an exciting and supportive session for projects form undergraduate students. The topics of water quality and resources will be considered very broadly - all are welcome!" The image has a blue background and water drop icon.

Are you lucky enough to work with wundergrads? Do you want them to have a positive, welcoming experience at #AGU24?

Guess who just racked the 45-lb’ers to squat?!? Almost exactly a year post-accident and things are trending in the right direction!

Polar plunge to ring in the new year. Friends are the ones you freeze with, I guess? ❄️🥶

Finished my first 5k (and longest run) since knee surgery last March. I jogged about 2/3 and walked the rest. Thrilled to be recovering!

Surveying in Oak Creek

Final push before break with Jasmine, finishing a survey of about 500-m of Oak Creek. Lots of hours into this, but the science she’s working on is going to be awesome!!

Listening to some deeper cuts with the kiddos tonight - Tupac’s California Love includes “…now it’s ‘95…”. Feeling my years, but apparently all the words are still stored deep in my brain.

28 years ago!?! Not possible, Tupac.
