Sunrise isn't always my favorite time to get up and get to work, but it does have its perks during the field season.

Today's US EO orders the Attorney General to identify + take expeditious action to stop enforcement of "all State & local laws... purporting to address “climate change” or involving “environmental, social, and governance” initiatives, “environmental justice,” carbon or “greenhouse gas” emissions."
This executive order confirms that. They are attacking all "state laws" that address climate change, ESG, environmental justice and/or greenhouse gases.

Dems need to fight EVERYWHERE, esp. locally. San Antonio is the nation's 7th largest city, and its mayoral election is coming up. If Gina Ortiz Jones wins, it'll send a powerful signal. She's a vet, former Air Force Under Secretary, an all-around badass, and a good friend. Please chip in.
I just gave to Gina Ortiz Jones!

Right now teaching feels so important. My students are engaged, often staying after class to talk with me or to talk with guest speakers. More students are coming to class and doing the readings. If they shut us down I will teach in the park or the library. The only way forward is through together.

When you have field work but also have to teach an online class, so you ask your buddy to give a guest seminar on radiative transfer models while you fly your drones.

This is a letter I did not want to write.

There is a WWII-era saying: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”

If you voted for #Trump, you are a #Nazi.

Today we flew our new drone with a laser on it. That was a first for me. Do your drones have lasers, too?

There's a new trend going on in Spain that no one really talks about but it's happening everywhere - food served in sculpture dishes, like this artichoke heart with jamón served on a peacock tail.

I heard that #cats were trending. Miu says meow, TGIF. She's definitely not impressed with my plans to teach my students @biologiaub.bsky.social how to take apart, put back together, and pulot a UAV today.

I've only done one post, but today was a big day! My youngest was ill but agreed to take a nap during my presentation to the PANGEOS COST Action MC of 37 countries. So excited for her to get better and to launch our plans for meetings, workshops, and training schools planned for the next year! TGIF!
