So it’s been about four years in the making, but #GOTHAAM is finally happening. We’re two weeks in with a phenomenal team - and some impressive datasets! Three Farmers flew today and we had a blast taking transects of urban pollution plumes and then studying stratification over the ocean!

Finally, because all the faculty on here need something to keep us up at night, the funding profile (my read is they expect funding rates to drop by a factor of 4)

So I finally get to contribute to #SuperSeabirdSunday - a rare treat for someone in a land-locked state, but you can guess where my winter vacation took me kayaking!!

Your last saved #meme is apparently your moral philosophy.

If this counts, they’re not wrong…

“Navigating academia with grace of a hippo on a balance beam” is an uncannily accurate summary of my life. Thanks blueskyroast.com!

I shall have to aspire for more avian admiration…

Love this! Mine is a little more mixed…

One last one? It wouldn’t be Colorado without some mountain goats checking you out! Okay, you can go back to your regularly-scheduled doom-scrolling now…

Male widowbirds do a ridiculous jumping dance to try to get the female’s attention. (You know what she’d find sexier? You voting to keep her rights)

Next, how about this lion cub who can’t stop chewing his tail… (like all of us biting our nails tonight. But cuter.)

Need some distractions? So do I! Here are a few photos I took over the last year… first up: hyenas get a bad rap, but they are just like us with one sibling who always messes the family photo…

Photos from my grad school officemates upon visiting the Cohen group this spring, which sparked the idea… we wondered if one could just re-hang the posters at AGU 20-ish years later, and Vintage Chemistry was born…

The CSU corpse flower started blooming so my group started getting VOC measurements…
