A poster being held by my friend because I forgot to ask someone to take my photo while it was actually hung up
I crunched the numbers, and Glasgow was almost 1% oceanographers this week. Happy to have given my first ever poster at #OSM2026! ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

Just try using this water fountain without getting Chappell Roan stuck in your head
Come see my poster about marine heatwave-low chorophyll extreme events at #OSM2026. Iβll be presenting it tomorrow at 16:00-18:00 at board 846!

Got to Glasgow for #OSM2026 and found out Black Honey was performing tonight! A very good day π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ
This story makes me really glad that #OSM2026 is out of the US this year. Much less risky for all involved
Nope! New Jersey Transit delays are a special kind of hell - I once spent 2.5 hours stuck between stations because the train in front of mine broke down, and of course thereβs no incentive to pay more to maintain the trains
Thatβs a fun one! It was such a culture shock moving to the UK at 18 and realising that there are more English accents than posh and cockney
Which accent is that? Donβt say Scouse
Hopefully this galvanises some of the people who thought there were βpoliticalβ and βapoliticalβ disciplines

Dachshund puppy with very sad eyes
Happy new year! My first healthy decision of the year was to not look at the news and instead look at the adorable puppy my friend dog sat last night
The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous.
It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe.
We urge that this plan be abandoned.

No kings protest NYC
I like America the way I like my Americanos: no ICE #nokings
A chat transcript with ChatGPT where I tell it about ICE and Alligator Alcatraz and it tells me that it's misinformation
I had to try this for myself and wow, thank you ChatGPT. Maybe we all get to wake up after our gas leak season soon?
Franceβs National Assembly votes in favour of legalising assisted dying. I have a solution: wolves.
True. I suppose they know that climate scientists wonβt change their tune based on this cherry-picked and misleading analysis, but the letters PhD after the authorsβ names will impress a lot of non-scientists.
I stand corrected
No guns, no fentanyl, and the Victoria line runs every 100 seconds? This London really sounds like a hellscape
Confirmation from the NYC board of elections that my ballot was received
My fellow New Yorkers, go vote! I mailed my ballot from Paris - no excuses.

Armstrong Hall at Columbia University is not anymore housing the Goddard Institute for Space Studies. 160 or so of us gathered outside for the last picture. But we are still standing as a group, strong and determined, doing the same work and more great things into the future. Keep your eyes on us!
π§ͺ It's been a privilege to work at the historic NASA GISS for even the first few months of my PhD. I (and many colleagues) gave quotes in this article about getting evicted; hopefully it changes at least one heart/mind.

I started work at LOCEAN at Sorbonne today, and Notre Dame is on my walk to work! PhD life has its perks.
Joke's on whoever moves in and finds out that we're testing the range of human habitability, not just with our models, but also with the HVAC system.
π§ͺ My amazing and brilliant partner @jaredjeya.bsky.social wrote this paper! Any quantum physicists: please explain this to me. I'd love to understand what he does!
