I study turbulence in stars and other things at CU-Boulder but really I’m just here for some funny posts. NSF AAPF fellow on the job market
Suddenly thinking this old proposal idea might have a chance

What the things actually look like. First image is a volume rendering of the vertical velocity, which gets twisted about by the helical flow

Submitted! See abstract in first image and highlighted text in second image

Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection exhibits a rich variety of flow morphologies (e.g., cells, plumes, QG turbulence) depending on rotation rate and heating. Inspired by this, CU PhD student Whitney Powers explored rotating moist convection to seek similar regimes and found very different ones!

Anyway here's what it looks like when a thermohaline-unstable layer driven by fixed flux from above (approximating active accretion) propagates down into a stable layer

Some interesting communication from the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) on how NSF’s freeze may violate federal regulation

Boulder fucking rules, I can’t get over the fact that I can go on awesome bike rides and trail runs right from my apartment almost any day I want

This shit is gold. This is the only reason I still open that app. This is incredible content

Hell yeah NSF give us nothing

Ran my first 10k can I get a heck yea

Don’t be fooled by these lil guys, they’re just small current loops encased in shiny rocks
