Who do I know at #AGU25? Hit me up in New Orleans!

He's *still* on this?
HE'S
DONE
IT
AGAIN
This is absolutely wonderful to see! Brings a tear to my eye and makes me wish I were still doing astro...
That counts!
YET ANOTHER medical organisation comes to the conclusion that The Cass Scandal is total junk
Zack this is so unfair, I'm so sorry
Um
Did you have to send it twice
Not super thrilled about this, though Ken's emails were at least more polite than others I got
If you wish to make a post from scratch you must first invent the Universe
Yes you should use my Python DSL for climate modeling, it is simple and easy and fun and the memory management is not an eldritch horror only the bold and foolish venture to glimpse
Happy new year! May the sysadmins overlook all the jobs you run on head nodes in 2025!
If nothing else, tagging gamer gate in a post attacking a trans woman is a pretty big indicator of his thoughts
He may not have started out with the intention of helping get trans folks (especially trans women) out of public life but his actions absolutely paint that picture
Singal has a history of aggressive and bad-faith interactions with trans women going back a while. Julia Serrano wrote about some of it in 2017 and updated it in 2021, and Singal's only gotten worse since

If you have experience with Python development and are interested in working on weather and climate models come work with me! We're pushing the state of the art and could use all the help we can get! Feel free to dm for more information

I am going to say again, the popular aesthetic of cyberpunk as it is now, is hauntological, a lost future that looks cooler than the one we got; the practical material concerns of it, however, are something that we are living through to some degree or another, and getting worse.
*I'm, whoops
Picture of a guitar case leaning against a convention center wall, presumably containing a poster detailing groundbreaking scientific advances
Obviously I'm proud of my team and the work I'm presenting at #AGU24 but I'n also proud of my very serious, definitely intentional poster case
My #AGU poster is up! Come by board 1905 and say hi!
A request for cis allies:
Report and block Jesse Singal. In addition to his highly problematic history in journalism, he's now actively calling on his Twitter followers to harass trans women he disagrees with on Bluesky.
This is a great way to think about it and something that should be front-of-mind for anyone giving a conference talk (or any presentation)
I think everyone at #agu24 is finding lunch places off of the same Eater article...
Anyone at #AGU24 thinking about using GPUs for their science, come talk to me! We're using Python to achieve true model portability between CPU and GPU supercomputers, unlocking higher resolutions, increased ensemble sizes, and AI/ML model development
Lmao apparently I still can't walk stopping in a huge convention hall without thinking of fencing
I'm at AGU this week! Happy to say hi or get coffee with any folks here, just say hi!
Finally, a left-wing answer to Joe Rogan
Mike this is a much more graceful response than I could muster
