Hereβs my #introduction.
I am a climate scientist who studies the ocean carbon cycle. I also work on verifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (#CDR).
Iβm a professor at University of HawaiΚ»i at MΔnoa, and Iβm 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.

Today my babies are 17. ππ
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 didnβt 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€οΈβ€οΈβπ©Ή
Happy Birthday boys! I love you
What a sky this morning. It was just one of those mornings that was so very special. Taken on Glastonbury Tor about 15 minutes before sunrise.

I don't know if this belongs here or not - it was my cheat project. When we bought our current house we needed a buffet for this niche in the dining room, but couldn't find anything we liked and fit and could afford. So I cheated. 3 custom kitchen cabinets screwed together, and I built the top and base out of a matching maple. I thought it would do until we found something. That was 20 years ago.

Hereβs the media story.
β’10 killed in Monterrey Park
β’10+ injured
β’Male suspect fled & is still at large
All these folks were doing was celebrating the new year. And they suffered terrorism and death. This is what GOP considers βfreedom.β Smh horrific.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
