Congrats to Zeeshan on the publication of this paper in JoT! 🌀 Zeeshan showed that the physical thickness of a portion of the turbulent/non-turbulent interface is well described by a combination of the Kolmogorov and Taylor scales.

On the physical dimension of the turbulent sublayer at the turbulent/non-turbulent interface
The turbulent/non-turbulent interface (TNTI) is a thin fluid layer that separates rotational and irrotational flows, playing a critical role in the multi-scale process of entrainment. This work exa...

nearly 11% of the NSF workforce was fired today.
this WILL slow scientific progress.
this is hurting families.

we need to educate folks about all the GOOD that the gov't can do! To help @500womensci.bsky.social has made social media cards for what #NSF funds in each state: bit.ly/NSF_bystate

New paper alert! ⚠️ This was some very fun work done with my colleague Dr. Longhuan Zhu at UNH. We explored how plant motion affects light exposure in seagrass meadows. Now published in #aslo_lo! @aslo.org doi.org/10.1002/lno....
Wave‐driven plant reconfiguration modifies light availability in seagrass meadows
Seagrasses are considered foundation species in marine and estuarine ecosystems by contributing biomass, providing habitat, and damping waves and currents. Globally, seagrass health and primary produ....

Petition to replace the technical definition of "void fraction" with a definition relating to the fraction of Void a cat's fur is. Exhibit A: foster cat Eclair, who is about 0.89 void (0.11 white mittens, neckerchief, and mustache).
