Scientist watching the world burn from Tahoe. PhD in neuro stuff. Retired, I guess. Time currently mostly spent on writing, art, reading, volunteering, and staring at large bodies of water. Wx obsessed.

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

in a world with a rising fascist tide this is the only way forward until we can figure out how to turn it around it can be done things don’t have to be as bad as possible

Sigh. If you type "suggestive bird names" for a joke Google AI suggests things like titmouse, goatsucker, and... the southern fuckbird... which definitely is not a thing.

Biden passed the most aggressive climate package in US history and probably ever again and I feel like the environmental beat is the only place we’re covering it

And fwiw, on domestic policy, legislative achievement and macro-economic stewardship the former is an argument I have made on our show many many many times.

The shark doctor is in! Ask me anything. Have questions about sharks? Marine biology? Ocean conservation? Me? Anything at all? Ask me anything! Ask away, my flight is in two hours and I’m bored. Tag friends who might have questions, and please share! 🧪🦑🌎

Haven't found much of a Bluesky Wx community yet so here's my tip for fellow climate watchers on finding current info on storms: The Yale Climate Connection site runs a blog called 'Eye on the Storm' and the comments section ignites during hurricane season. Lot of old Weather Underground peeps there

Early signs of potentially major heatwave around 4th of July centered on Northern CA, and this event could bring hot temperatures all the way to the coast (uncommon for early Jul). Early hints at potential for some record-breaking heat & very high grass/brush fire risk. #CAwx

My favorite shot from our recent workshop. Christmas light fireflies (Photuris tremulans) in the trees, and the big dipper fireflies (Photinus pyralis) in the open meadows, with a few plane trails reminding us of the imposition of light pollution on our nighttime landscapes.

One thing I miss about Twitter, which benefited me tremendously, is it was a place for early career scientists to celebrate good news (a publication, a grant, an award) and get their name out there. Early career scientists of Bluesky, share some good professional news! I’ll re-post! 🧪🌎🦑

Due to avian influenza concerns, there's a non-negligible chance we're going to have agricultural surveillance discourse here, so let's have a smol 🧵

The univ. lab needs those farmers' cooperation for other things & doesn't want to anger them: “[The farms] are aware of what a nonnegative test would do to their business,” said Brandon Dominguez…at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic laboratory… “They asked that we do not run the test.”
