Vietnamese and other peoples of Southeast Asia have naming conventions very much different from those in the Anglosphere. For us, writing our names overseas is a big headache. Let me first explain Vietnamese names, then I'll touch on names in other cultures.
A student of mine asked our group to summarize #AGU25 in one word. For me it's HUGS. This year was tough for us scientists, and for some of us it was extremely tough. So it felt good to meet old friends and hugged it out.

Tube carriers, gather!
The Tube Carriers
Every winter
The tube carriers
Gather
Hustle through airports
To stand in front of a board
And talk about what they love.

Crowd sourcing from the Bluesky hive mind: what are these patches with what look like ducts inside that I'm seeing on silver maple? They don't occur in every ring, rather sporadically. @yellowbuckeye.bsky.social @l-tulipifera.bsky.social #dendro

I am teaching a course on ancient trees and tree rings at the NY Botanical Garden on Sunday, October 26th and Sunday, November 2nd.
We will learn about past environments, the amazing lives of trees, and what old trees tend to look like.

Put my #rstats skills to good use today: I helped my student fix their code that took 3 minutes to process 1 month of data but now only takes 110 milliseconds to process 1 year of data. I'm happy with little things like that :)

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n
