@ametsoc.org I'm leading a career-development course for 150 undergrads at UC Berkeley and would love to be able to refer them to the AMS Career Center ... but the internship listings are for last summer, with application due dates in early 2025. Is your career site broken?

And I'm moving my infrequent social media presence here, since X will soon be owned by and feeding all its information directly to the head of a new federal agency. Regardless of my feelings for billionaire social media CEOs, at least they hadn't been able to arrest me. #DeepState #BigBrotherMusk
