I try to teach #soilculture @montanastateuniversity, including tips for sorting if you're being #greenhousegaslit. Fueled by soilninjas.
thx for alerting me to this! excellent quotes cited including a 2007 one attributed to Dan Welch "Offsets are an imaginary commodity created by deducting what you hope happens from what you guess would have happened" (inside footnote #7). Richly footnoted would be an understatement. Worth the skim

This bugged me. So I dug. She deleted the tweet I must have seen in December 2021 because otherwise I would have just grabbed your Feb. 2021 tweet as the 'source'--sorry

Outdoor CO2 concentrations were higher than 420ppm as of yesterday but will **decrease** as North America leafs out, a seasonal trend Dave Keeling 1st measured in the 1950s. And check out this week's #climateweek offerings @montanastate.bsky.social #keelingcurve #becausephysics #perfecttiming

Love your flowchart. Worked up a not-too-useful mnemonic for myself: UMMM? Is X underway, management-relevant, measurable, meaningful? If YYYY, let’s explore pilots. If not, let’s move on ideas are cheap

Normally West Yellowstone to SLC is 321 miles; not today! Today with the detour ~500 miles. Thanks snow+blowing wind. Unclear why MT and ID 511 couldn’t have alerted us ahead of time 🤷♀️ #roadtripping

One of my soilninja teams made me sit up straighter with their "banana peel to the bioremediation-of-motor-oil rescue" barley bioassay project. Bravo. Max heights for control, insulted, and insulted+fixed pots were 24.0, 27.1, and 29.5 cm, respectively. Musa-mediation, anyone?

love this. demo'd "how to use chatgpt" a couple wks back; embarassed now. redoing my next lecture to remind students there are shittier LLMs (eg chatgpt 'openness score' 0.5/14) and less shitty LLMs (eg olmo 12.5/14). screencaps of 43 LLM graded across 14 criteria opening-up-chatgpt.github.io
