From MIT President Sally Kornbluth's letter to the US Department of Education, regarding their proposed “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education"

@ametsoc.org thank you for responding and checking on this!

Berkeley's Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management is seeking an assistant professor in physical climate science:

@garmin.com knows this but does spends much more time promoting its plans and devices to you, with never a mention I saw of this issue

@davidho.bsky.social I think depends on the country. Here is India guidance. I was told by a contact when this happened to me they were detaining about 80 travelers per week for this at Bangalore.

Some people end up with weeks-long legal cases in India

Yes @davidho.bsky.social also be aware if you travel internationally at all. I will never again own one of these Garmin devices that use satellite connectivity -- going entirely with phone options like the iphone sat texting from now on.

Indeed, @ecoclimatelab.bsky.social is very serious. These are illegal in India, Thailand, China, and more. Great devices, but I accidentally left one in my backpack while traveling to India, got taken out of airport to police station for hours, missed flight, thousands of dollars cost.

Also see Yi's page where you can browse the forecasts for a few regions: yzhang-aos.github.io/forecast/ Wet bulb temperature is a combined measure of heat and humidity. It's literally the lowest temperature you can cool something to by evaporating liquid water (like sweat).

I've come up against the fact recently that "service", which overlaps some with public outreach, is expected in some amount but is really not rewarded in the research university promotion & pay raise (at least where I am). I could cut my service work in half and still have same raise/promo result.

This is less advice to you, as I know you've thought about all this >> me, and more brainstorming for how I might try to work. The Berkeley Journalism school happens to be right next door to my building and I've really not engaged.

One way I could imagine a university giving hard salary support for this is if it was coupled to teaching, e.g. you teamed up with a journalism or education school, taught students how to do outreach, and delegated some of that work, analogous to how TT faculty work with research.

It is so incredibly useful to be able to access the historical images going back years on your site. I routinely use windy.com too but quickly jump to nullschool for any past events.

I'm remembering when an astro dept at a certain university reached out to deGrasse Tyson about the possibility of him giving a colloquium on science education, and the response was that his fee was somewhere in the numerous thousands, which included him letting you take him to dinner.
