Planetary seismologist in Pasadena. Project Scientist for InSight (sigh) and PI for Farside Seismic Suite. Somewhat nerdy. Opinions are, of course, my own. he/him
And now scrubbed. When I used to live in Florida, I would occasionally try to watch launches and this was certainly not a rare occurrence.

One of my grad school colleagues programmed a finite difference model of a complicated diagenesis geochem model in Excel. Damn worksheet took like half an hour to even open.

I’m a little younger so the 80’s albums are most known to me through my eponymous cassette tape, so I’m biased towards the singles from this era. So Orange Crush has been stuck in my head for decades.

I haven’t read any Dan Simmons in years, although I loved Hyperion and some of his old horror novels. Didn’t realize he’d published and anti-Obama book and gone all right wing. Just seemed anti-authoritarian in his old books with a complicated relationship with religion.

It’s the whole diversity of LA where I’m at (Hope Pl and Grand), and everyone is pumped up!

Right at the base of the formerly tallest building in LA (and still really the tallest without relying on a stupid “structural mast”).

If Toronto would have won, I would almost not be sad. No, that’s a lie, but this series made me really love their team.

Started within a second of the final out. LA is always ready for this stuff.
