If you're not showing your whimsy every chance you get, how can you become the eccentric academic?
And finally: the Easter egg. We do have a tradition of unpronounceable acronyms in science, so I had to slip this into the paper. Please click on the acronym in the abstract of our paper. 🧵🛑

Scientific results should be reproducible, but if a ‘reproducible’ work is never reproduced, is it reproducible? A thread on the scientific method, problems, solutions, my new opinion paper, unpronounceable acronym: MRDTACS and an easteregg! 🧵👇

I asked Sam to come up with the syllables such that many different climate related poems could be constructed. Wednesday morning (night?) 5:30 am, good friend @caitlynahall.bsky.social and I put on our high viz vests, got our yardsticks out and started taping. By 7 am we had a hopping poem!

Republicans’ proposed tax cuts — predominantly benefiting the rich — will now cost $5.5 trillion over the decade according to new CBO estimates.
Previous estimates were were tagged at $4.6T, but Republicans added in even more tax cuts.
They really can't help themselves.

@noaa.gov was slated to go dark at midnight.
Apparently this has been averted, for now. It's only a matter of time before it is shut down.
Anyone have a mirror or repository of federal US data?
