I’m excited to share an interactive tool I’ve been working on that helps you discover, visualize, and reflect on your own social biases so you can be more resilient to misinformation. I’m also putting together a guide to digital tools for fact-checking. Both will be dropping on my newsletter soon!
Happy birthday good boy 🥹
Psychologist @cecilietraberg.bsky.social describes the power of storytelling in science communication and education. If you want people to remember scientific ideas or boost their media literacy, you can’t just present data, you need to make them feel the story behind it.
Declan says Awooooooo! (Translation: Hooray! Or Squirrel! Maybe both. Still unclear.)
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
Monday morning grump post.
Before you criticize, shame, and gatekeep, maybe watch the live streams of @MaxVelocityWX and @ryanhallyall first.
Whether we like it or not, this is the future of meteorology, science communication, and IDSS.
Snow is now too deep for zoomies but here are some hops for your timeline ❄️😂 #beaglesofbluesky
When clout is established before trust, those who have built their career by establishing trust first... and subsequently spend so much time fighting misinformation generated by clout... well, they're naturally going to be skeptical. It hurts to watch them get shamed for those experiences.
Some snow zoomies to cleanse the timeline
Alysa Liu jumps in joy on the podium after receiving her women's figure skating gold medal at the Winter Olympics, while silver medalist Kaori Sakamoto and bronze medalist Ami Nakai clap and cheer
This photo by the AFP's Wang Zhao is everything right about figure skating
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
If you were at #AMS2026 and were present for the emergency town hall regarding NCAR, remember the words “pain is coming” to NCAR?
The transition of the Cheyenne Supercomputer Center to a third party is such a devastating blow.

"Surviving", to me, was the word of the week at AMS.
The most common answer whenever you asked how someone was doing.
Sadly my good view at the front wasn’t great for attendance photos. It was a well-attended session I promise! And will defs let you know if I’m ever in your area 💙👀

Always learning something new from my girl @katharinehayhoe.com 💙#AMS2026
A few quotes from the Mental Wellbeing in the Atmospheric Sciences panel:
“People will ask ‘what do I do next?’ Do something even if it’s wrong”
“Life is a juggling act. Some balls are rubber and some are glass. You have to decide which ones you can let go right now and maybe pick back up later.”
No context post for #AMS2026 @nws.noaa.gov @ametsoc.org
Disembodied @jjrennie.bsky.social has become a staple of my #AMS2026 experience so far
I’d like to personally thank @shelwinkleywx.bsky.social for kicking off the climate comm social media panel with (this specific) Spongebob reference 🙌
Quoting @wxdam.com here but
"Sorry to hear you'll have heat when it's 5°F?
Sorry you can cook your family a hot meal?
Sorry you've got running water?
Sorry a tree didn't fall through your bedroom?"
