Climate scientist decoding chaos with code. I work at the intersection of AI, big data, and climate change—tracking extremes, predicting rain, and championing open science.

I learned to run climate simulations at NCAR as a student. It’s where many foundations of atmospheric science were built and where global climate research still comes together. And it does much more.

How do they know it’s because Batman is unexpected and not because he’s seen as a moral authority (albeit fictional)? What happens if you send in the Riddler? 🧪
The Batman Effect, just published in NATURE:
When an experimenter dressed as Batman boarded a train, passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seats to another “pregnant” experimenter than if Batman wasn’t present (67.21% vs. 37.66%) #SciComm 1/2

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.
