-Its Fine Its Cool by Chappell Roan about assuming atmospheric OH is constant

Several will be at #AGU if you want their autographs

Excited to see folks at #AGU24 this week! Some presentations from my group members. Lots of stuff on Friday this year.

Today I learned that: a) I have a Bluesky account and b) I have friends on aforementioned Bluesky account.
