it's wise to distrust the adjectives, but the link is legit :)
I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
Sad to read about your decision to leave.
Maybe come to London?
People are rude, but in a passive-aggressive, veiled discourteous and faintly disparaging way.

- Develop frameworks and scholarship around highest possible ambition
- Analyse mitigation pathways and quantitative evidence
- Support legal decision-making
- Publish and shape a growing research agenda
The position focuses on how scientific evidence can inform and strengthen legal frameworks for climate mitigation ambition.
For example, looking at concepts such as “highest possible ambition” and best-effort obligations.

Lovely memory!
Growing up in Belgium, carding was not a thing, and neither were there particularly high barriers to acquiring alcohol. Although consumption focussed overwhelmingly on the lighter side of brews.
We're all in the same boat! :)
That's correct! There are neither age nor time-after-PhD restrictions for these positions.
It’s a pitfall I often fall into, including the continued habit of describing myself as young - an assessment that, judging by the reactions of those around me, does not pass entirely uncontested.

Today, @joerirogelj.bsky.social, member of @esabcc.bsky.social, spoke at the
@europarl.europa.eu's conference ‘From Promise to Action – 10 Years of the Paris Agreement’. He highlighted the role of science in climate policymaking, the impact of disinformation, and the outlook for the future.
New discussion paper just dropped that’s taken shall we say a little work to get this far … essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... please be kind. Not on an at all sensitive topic in the slightest.
A commentary in @nature.com argues the 1.5°C temperature limit has “outlived its usefulness” because we’re headed towards overshoot and should be replaced by a “clean-energy shift” metric. That’s the wrong diagnosis. Here is why.

Today, ESM2025 officially comes to an end!
Since 2021, our European consortium has been building a new generation of Earth System Models to support mitigation & adaptation strategies aligned with the Paris Agreement. Watch these clips of our final video to see how far we've come!

Professor @joerirogelj.bsky.social said:
"COP30 leaves us between a rock and a hard place […] These NDCs have come in hesitantly, inadequately and unambitiously. They move the needle, but insufficiently to confidently avoid 1.5°C or even 2°C of global warming.”
There's lot to be worried and concerned about.
It is good to see that some things are gradually (but so incredibly slowly) moving in the right direction. /end
