It's unbelievable that even when they're parked, motor vehicles are so dangerous to people on bicycles.
One of the best cyclists in the world, Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, was on a training ride and got doored by a parked van, and suffered fractures to his rib, shoulder blade, and hand.
This is excellent news for the future of @projectjupyter.bsky.social which is many people's (and my) first choice for interactive computing, data exploration and more. www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-...

Open day at Deutscher Wetterdienst's headquarters, complete with radiosonde ascents, an experimental drone, a Metop model and a satellite simulator, aka thermal infrared camera: Explaining what we do and how we work to do our part in the weather prediction enterprise was fun and worthwhile.

In Paris hat sich der Radverkehr innerhalb eines Jahres mehr als verdoppelt. Das passiert, wenn man konsequent Radwege baut. www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeur...

Team Tiefausläufer was running the rainy skyline today in Frankfurt. We braved the weather and crossed the finish line together after each running their share of the 42 km.

They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

A productive meeting concluded today. We discussed current and future land surface data assimilation for NWP and beyond. Lots of progress is happening on scientific and technical levels. Find the presentations at confluence.ecmwf.int/display/~pad...
