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.

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.

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

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.

It's Sunday, our day off from the show. Brad and I are at Covent Garden, at the spot where Eliza Doolittle bought her flowers to sell. Now there's a Shake Shack there.

Embrace change, or else you'll go nuts.

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.

This is a wooden yarn box I made for my wife in 2017.
She knits & crochets a lot and the box keeps the balls of wool out of reach of the cats πŸ˜‰
It's made from three different woods, Utile, Idigbo and Walnut.

History in pics: Testing prototype Roomba's in 1982. It would take two decades until they could be made small enough to clean under a couch.

I'm mean, I'm not exactly renown for my sartorial elegance, but isn't there something, like, fundamentally wrong with this? Or is it just me?

The first time I broke up with a boy was over the phone. I was 11. He asked me β€œwhy?? why?” in the most earnest, pleading kind of voice, so I panicked and told him we were moving to Africa.

Here’s 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 β€œfreedom.” Smh horrific.
