I had to send a poll and let them vote on how they wanted it changed to add to 100 😂. They’re grad student- they should be smart enough to see which way helps their grade.

Whelp, just realized my grading scheme for one class this semester adds up to 110%

Great! That’s new since fall!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And the woodruff park one is behind construction fencing right now.

What does more proactive stormwater management look like? An urban hydrologist walks through five fixes, from permeable pavers to mandatory standards

I accidentally stumbled on the replacement today! It’s still in beta, so not in the main documentation. Haven’t tried it out yet. doi-usgs.github.io/dataRetrieva...

There’s no replacement in dataRetrieval. It’s supposed to by in hyswap is my understanding, but that’s python. For now, the old dataRetrieval function still works. But this is impacting my classes and homework assignments.

Another meeting tomorrow at 6 pm at the Georgia Neighborhood Hill Center.

I applied to a bunch of REUs for the summer after junior year and didn’t get accepted to any.

The world continues to burn and I’m sitting here reviewing 131 amazing applications to our REU program. Every single student has a strong application. So remember, if you don’t get a REU offer, it is not a reflection on you!

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Greenland is rich in natural resources – a geologist explains why Greenland’s rare earth element deposits may be among the world’s largest by volume.

I appreciate this from @us.theconversation.com by Jonathan Paul.

However, I think it’s making a mistake I commonly hear geologists make with regards to current events.

Congrats- so well deserved!

It’s recommending withdrawn talks/posters to me.

DM or email to engage -

Alas, onedrive is working so I can work on my talk for a conference in week. Until I need to access any other websites.

Our LMS is down because of this. Might as well go home.
