Betul’s work is fascinating, and her story as a scientist is inspirational.
From studying enzymes in zebrafish to leading efforts to resurrect ancient proteins, Betül Kaçar has taken a truly unique career path.
Hear the story of this pioneer in molecular paleobiology in Ep. 3 of “The Leap,” with @hypothesisfund.bsky.social.

Very nice recognition of my postdoc, Catherine!

Today is #NationalAgDay!
We're big supporters of Wisconsin's growers and ag community.
This spring, we'll be launching a new web app for our farmers and growers that will give them new tools to make decisions to support their crops and livestock!
Here's a preview.

Our Agriculture Tools dashboard will have weather forecasts from NWS; the Drought Monitor supported by NOAA and the USDA; and other data produced by NOAA and NWS offices.
These data expand upon our measurement capabilities to help our farmers and growers make better decisions.

If my weather legacy is that I lead the development of one statewide mesonet and inspired another state to develop one, well that’s a pretty good legacy.

Besides the important uses discussed here, if you need data students can use to, e.g. see how soil moisture and temperature interact in soils in Driftless Area loess vs. the Central Sands, Wisconet is a great place to look.

there has emerged a counter-world in which facts & procedures long-established in our world of education/science/"law" (like public health measures involving vaccines, pasteurization) are rejected for purely political reasons; as if these are whimsical matters in which you can "believe" or not.
since I'm from a rural background we tend to respect the cornucopia of illnesses, infections, & plain bad luck that pervades rural life like a malevolent aura. dairy cows are frequently infected with bacteria that can do serious damage to human beings. this isn't politics, it's common sense!
If you don’t like milk you won’t like it, but raw milk is legitimately delicious in a way pasteurized is not.
