Even though it only just became public, selections were made back in November so Stan did find out at that point.

Folks on this platform will readily think of many other examples. This type of research gives us information we need for smart, informed planning. We can have good-faith policy arguments about what to *do*, but choosing to be uninformed by not collecting data … is just failure.

There has been way too much groundbreaking research from CSL to mention it all here. A couple examples that often come up in my work:

The #standupforscience2025 rallies will be held in DC and around the U.S. NEXT FRIDAY.

Please sign up to attend at standupforscience2025.org

To effectively push back the attacks on science happening now, it is so critical to show mass support for science by gathering together in the streets!

Do you want a big overview of NSF, explaining things like the fact that 24% of all federally funded academic fundamental research comes from NSF? And that 94% of its budget goes out the door in grants/awards? Here you go. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/Factsh...

🤮 No respect for anyone using genAI to write reviews. If you don't have time to write an actual review, just decline the invitation! Sorry you're dealing with that nonsense

A great collaboration with @chemdelphine.bsky.social, @chemj.bsky.social, @timothybertram.bsky.social, @profdesai.bsky.social, and others not on bluesky.

@mvermeuel.bsky.social has moved on and is now Ass’t Prof at Purdue, watch for cool research from his new group!

5) Curiously, current atmospheric models already tend to overpredict atmospheric ozone. So if they are also overestimating ozone deposition, this means there must be other, larger (partly offsetting!) problems with our ozone models. More research is needed 🤓
