Promoting inclusivity and a sense of community and belonging is what Pride Month is all about. The month also serves as a chance to actively combat and diminish the prevailing stigmas, bullying, and discrimination that persist in educational institutions, workplaces, and society at large. #pride

Last week, I had the opportunity to present some of my Master’s research “Hydrodynamic Modeling for Oyster Farm Site Selection”, at the NC Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) Conference

If you’re interested, I will be presenting my findings at the EWRI Congress in May. Hope to see you there!

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.

There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

🚨 #NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety.

AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it.

Our economy, environment, and safety depend on it.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

No more work on “barrier” islands for me I guess
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

First time participating in the NCSU Krispy Kreme Challenge! 5 miles and 12 donuts (I could only get through 9) later, and I never want to see another donut again. Hopefully I’ll make the dozen next year.

Last fieldwork day of the year. 50ish+ soil erosivity tests in 2024 focusing on stream bank erosion, and many more to come in 2025. Excited to share some of the results early next year!

Effective Nutrient Management of Surface Waters in the United States Requires Expanded Water Quality Monitoring in Agriculturally Intensive Areas
The U.S. Clean Water Act is believed to have driven widespread decreases in pollutants from point sources and developed areas, but has not substantially affected nutrient pollution from agriculture. T...
