@kennethfield Yes!

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven.

Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can’t wait to celebrate with him.

Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger.

Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it’s just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find encouragement in this picture, what it represented to the man who collected it, and find joy this year. #heaven #hope #joy #grief

Our paper is out! Great to see the surf research continue.

New study out today!

"Co-occurrence of surf breaks and carbon-dense ecosystems suggests opportunities for coastal conservation"

@DylanMoriarty Hope I can join you next time!

@sarahbellmaps So many great examples out there, but the first time I held my own copy of the Disneyland map as a kid I couldn't stop looking at it. And after our visit, I'd pore over it to daydream about a future trip.

Let the games begin!

Athletes from across the world are gathering today to kick off the 2024 #Olympics – pushing boundaries and inspiring generations. If you were an Olympic athlete, which sport would you play?

Still one of the best nights on the National Mall.

[National Air and Space Museum @airandspace]

Five years ago tonight, after being projected on the Washington Monument for three nights, our #GoForTheMoon Saturn V launched for the first time.

It was quite a spectacular sight. Watch the full show again: https://t.co/GwF4G9DOCn

My favorite part of the job has always been the people I work with, and while that's changed a lot (I'm now the 2nd-longest in my division), it still holds. A close second is the travel, and I hope that continues, too.

Still deciding how to celebrate, suggestions welcome!

20 years ago today, I started at Conservation International with a 6 month contract to work on a series of maps. How time flies! This photo is from that first year-- note the monitors and tower.

[Kellee Koenig @KelleeKoenig]

It's been wild to reflect on what's changed in the field since 2004-- for example, Google Maps didn't exist, and you had to purchase and process Landsat imagery a single scene at a time. It's been great to have a front row seat for all this, and I'm excited to see what's next.

@capitalweather some good- sized hail during a short-lived burst in south Arlington.

@capitalweather Yes!

This morning the Tidal Basin was chilly, breezy, and mostly overcast. But the sun peeked out for a moment, and the people watching was classic. I especially enjoyed seeing the outpouring of love for "Stumpy" before it gets chopped down. @capitalweather

@MtVernonFriends Looks great!

Good news story for heart health month from The OC Register.

Besides watching sitcoms, here are the general steps for CPR:
-Check your safety and for their breathing (not pulse).
-Call 911 and immediately provide your location.
-Ensure they're on a hard, flat surface)

[Kellee Koenig @KelleeKoenig]

For giving CPR to adults, they now recommend hands only (i.e. no rescue breaths) with 100-120 beats per minute--conveniently the tempo of the Bee Gees hit "Stayin' Alive."

[Kellee Koenig @KelleeKoenig]

The science behind CPR continues to improve, and CPR is slightly different for adults, children, and infants. These videos provide greater detail for helping each age group:Adult: https://t.co/PKMuk0dn0O
