Congrats. It is weird. The word "tenure" comes up a lot for us, but it still makes me smile sometimes because a non-academic acquaintance thought it meant 10-year.

It's been so convenient to never have to fill one of those for the last 25+ years!

Me neither! The tank is not close to the grill, but it will be strange to have the propane line routed into the house, not use any of it inside, and have it come back out for just the grill. There are electric grills…

This is me too, except it’s the water heater and outdoor grill. Eventually having the latter as the only thing connected to their 500 gal tank is gonna be really weird.

I do wish articles like this would include how much logging companies make from old growth logging, because I get the feeling it's a shockingly low amount of money, especially when compared to the irrevocable damage it does.

And we're also not doing any weird STEM superiority complexes, either. I've seen some "why is earth & atmospheric science getting lumped in with textiles & fashion" and that's not cool.

Nebraskans deserve the fullest range of educational opportunities & community expertise, not just in science.

I've used this approach of using reducing windows before and here's an example from 2014 that also suggests acceleration (this is unpublished but derived from work that in a GRL article).

Good reminder -- main point is that the observations show faster recent warming, albeit over small windows.

12 FTE positions in the subject will be eliminated, and the students and communities of Nebraska will be worse off for losing these amazing experts.

If your institution is looking to hire faculty at any career stage, you could benefit from the terrible decision that UNL administration has made.

Your garage thanks you

Apparently there's an org dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing Democratic scientists to public office - they've been quite successful ("In 2024, we helped elect 248 Democratic scientists into offices across the country"), and they're here: @314action.bsky.social

Cancerous figures like RFK Jr running the nation’s health infrastructure into the dirt of the early nineteenth century, enacting policies we know will kill infants, and what we get out of it is column inches from and about repulsive parasitic narcissists like Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza.
