The stratosphere is my favorite. I teach stats & math at Fitchburg State University. Arospec, she/her. Methodist. Texan/Oklahoman in the Northeast. Many sports, dance, books, roller coasters.

USA got all five curling teams in to the 2026 Games: mixed doubles, mens, womens, wheelchair, wheelchair mixed doubles
Only other countries to do that: Italy (host), Great Britain
(China still has a chance)

I was nodding off and feeling bad about probably not making it through the 10th end, but turns out I don't need to 😎

#MathsToday: Finished up Stat Analysis with some Bayes! I thought I gave this more time this semester than last, but it didn't feel like quite enough time for it to land well.
And that's it for classes this semester! Finals week to come.

Did the IOC ask everyone to consiser becoming World (Sport Name), or is everyone getting the same branding advice somewhere? Because FIG becoming World Gymnastics and the IFSC becoming World Climbing a day or two apart is very weird.

#MathsToday: cryptography in ProbStat I (testing an activity for a POGIL colleague!) and the math of survival analysis in Advanced Stats. Only final presentations next week left in those two courses!

Canadian Olympic Trials for curling are at the same arena that 2024 Skate Canada #GPFigure was, but they appear to have covered the moose head 😥

Then maybe adequately funding universities and supporting students would be a good idea.
Burrage: Oklahoma’s public college and university graduates stay here, fill critical jobs
While our focus as a higher education system is on student success – and rightly so – degrees lift up more than the individuals who earn them.

It is an absolute shame to see one of the most respected atmospheric science programs in the U.S. get eliminated in the UNL budget cuts. The proposed "savings" by gutting the program won't match the damage of the brain drain of knowledge for NE. The faculty and students deserve better than this.
They are really planning to go through with these cuts at Nebraska, despite recommendations not to. Unbelievable.
If you want to hire highly qualified, very successful earth and atmospheric sciences faculty in teaching and research, quite a few are probably looking for jobs for next year.

I have now watched Ruben Padilla's gold-medal-winning DMT pass about a dozen times, and it's so incredible to me that sometimes he lands the hardest passes in the world, and sometimes he does something a little easier and just... drops into it like it's nothing. Beautiful.
saw the men's tumbling and very sad for Kaden, haven't watched men's DMT yet
