Calibrations without raw data—A response to “Seasonal calibration of the end-cretaceous Chicxulub impact event”
A recent article by DePalma et al. reported that the season of the End-Cretaceous mass extinction was confined to spring/summer on the basis of stable isotope analyses and supplementary observations. ...

Super stoked to see this paper out today! We've made a model for global C, O and P cycles over Earth history and it does a fair job of matching combined proxies. The key driver for oxygen rise is the build up of crustal carbon.

This resonates a lot with me atm. I have always been dedicated to science, worked at and with universities, geological surveys, and industry. Made a point of combining academic research with applied. But has my scientific career been meaningful?
Nature published a Letter to the Editor from me! I respond to their news feature on how to make scientific career meaningful, which focused too much on impact. Very glad to be heard with my plug for three #philsci themes: understanding, social role of expertise, duties of scientists to each other.
