Teaching assistant professor @climasuiuc.bsky.social. I run our online graduate programs, teach Python/weather, and research 🌪️. Partner to @chumesog.bsky.social. Aficionado of mountains, dancing, and lattes. Opinions mine.
This was a fun, collaborative survey project focusing on what topics atmospheric dynamics instructors teach, how they teach them - and more! 🤓
We'd love to start highlighting the hard work of our board's working groups! First up: check out this interesting evaluation of the current atmospheric dynamics curriculum in the US! journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:
Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.
It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.

Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.
And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.
Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.
