I would spend some serious quatloos to have the Metrons step in now.

Sir, this is The Onion.

Yeah me too!! It's pretty awesome

I wasn't, but I came down afterwards for a fun @developmentseed.org Saturday hackathon!

From mid-December 2024 at the LilGayPub on P and 11th. And then I walked to and rode the Metro at night! And I survived!

We interviewed 11 laid-off Hispanic transgender federal employee Trump voters. Here's why most of them don't regret their vote.

oh great! If you're coming to visit ETEC, you can watch storms fall apart from our 5th floor observation deck!

I didn't realize you had moved to Albany.

Never before have the perils of a live demo been expressed so poetically. Great job Angus @2i2c.org and Franklin @curvenote.com! #Scipy2025

Icechunk 1.0: Production-Grade Cloud-Native Array Storage Is Here - Earthmover A year ago, we made an important internal decision which set Earthmover on a new course—we decided to refactor and open source our core technology for storing array-based data in the cloud. This took ...

Today at SciPy 2025 we released Icechunk 1.0, an open source package and specification that enables database-style transactions against petabyte-scale array datasets using only cloud object storage as infrastructure. Read about it on our blog earthmover.io/blog/icechun..., or visit earthmover.io

🔥Lightning Talks are always a highlight at #SciPy2025 ⚡️

Thanks to everyone who took the stage and let us spice things up with props!🦞🤲

Precipitable water ranking for the June 2025. Wet, from the standpoint of water (vapor). Record values in parts of the Northeast. [Note: precipitable water is the total column water vapor if it were squeezed into a liquid state.]

Consider what a modern miracle public environmental data access is.

Consider what might happen if it ever went away.

A fully-funded postdoctoral scientist position is available in the research group of Distinguished Prof. Mathias Vuille. The position is open to scientists with interest & experience in: (1) South American (paleo-)climate, (2) Andean glacier-climate interactions, or 3) regional climate modeling.

Yet another Great Opportunity ...

Today, students in my @ualbanydaes.bsky.social data viz class present their final projects, which wouldn't be possible without the folks at @unidata.bsky.social. The consequences of this administration's attacks on science and education just keep on hitting closer and closer to home.

Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research.

Or 932 years.

[And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

Incredibly, 160 years ago "Radical Republican" was a good thing.

Cabinet secretaries engaged in a grim game of “how many people can I kill” one-upsmanship

Now I'll have Gav's "Sarek of Vulcan" going through my head the rest of the day. #HowDoYOUVote

Broadcast meteorologists use these tools EVERY DAY to provide cool stats in your local market.

Yea we have the data at NCEI and can build tools, but why reinvent the wheel?

Is Northeast RCC what provides Xmacis?

He’s just antivaxx. And like most antivaxxers, he is fully vaccinated so he is only gambling with other people’s lives.

Archiving daily #climate data while it's still accessible with #python ...

I'm not allowed to share these kinds of scholarships though my university email anymore so am doing so here. Scholarships for members of the LGBTQ+ STEM community.

”white supremacist book purge” is exactly right. it goes along with the segregationist purge of the service academies.

If you benefited from the severe thunderstorm & tornado watches & warnings yesterday, call your Congressional reps and tell them to keep the NWS funded & staffed. Last week, NWS were informed that up to 25% of their staff may be let go - this after they were already chronically 10% *under*staffed.
