Someday my grandchildren will learn the history of the war in Ukraine. They will ask "Why did they give weapons for so long, because so many lives could have been saved?" The answer will be one "They hesitated and were afraid"

Here’s my #introduction.
I am a climate scientist who studies the ocean carbon cycle. I also work on verifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (#CDR).
I’m a professor at University of HawaiΚ»i at Mānoa, and I’m also an adjunct at Columbia University and Ecole normale supΓ©rieure in Paris.
In addition to academia, I advise companies on carbon offsets and CDR.
According to the New York Times, here are my interests.

A final thought: Mastodon is what you make it. And, whether you intended it that way or not, the post that got my response on here came across condescending and patronizing. You're oh-so-earnest-and-better because you want to address Serious Issues, and the rest of us are just farting around with cat photos. Not a tone many will respond to with gracious welcomes.

I never had a Twitter account - I don't want to be spoon fed the things an algorithm thinks I might want to see, and I've been fighting my entire life, I'm old, and I only have so much energy for the fights that are most critical to me. Feel free to browse through the people I follow, there's some deep politics in there. But there's also light stuff that's just for fun, because something I need a fucking break.

When you see a post that's along the lines of something which interests you, click on the poster's profile. Follow them if they're discussing things you want to see. Click on the list of accounts they follow, and follow them, too. If the page comes up empty, that means it's on another server, but you get a link to follow to see it.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. πŸš€ πŸ™

Teenage angst has nothing on an adult's fully developed existential dread.

Are you following people who are having those discussions? Or just following people who post cat photos?

Today my babies are 17. πŸ’™πŸ’™

They are thriving, healthy, happy, silly, loving, caring, and brilliant thinkers.
I was so afraid when they were born 6 weeks early. Heartbroken when they had to stay in the NICU as I went home alone. Exhausted solely nursing them for a year. Worried when they didn’t make milestones for growth.

Every minute of struggle was worth it to get here. They are greatly loved. Especially by their older sister and that is my greatest gift. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Happy Birthday boys! I love you
