@calebscoville Regardless of what field it is, if things are that bad, make a change. "Better" is always out there and there's no need to work in a toxic business, and a business or institution in any field can be toxic. Academics seem to feel more stuck though.

@calebscoville Perhaps, but at least on X, things seem to skew that way. Although it's not limited to X.

@MiaMouse86 @CoryCopelandH2O A lot of private sector scientists feel similar! Everything favors engineers.

70,000 people trapped in a desert by extreme rain, running out of food, with rumors of disease spreading, and porta-johns overflowing - but determined to keep the party going, is such a great metaphor for our civilization right now.

CSV is old school.

Forget it.

There are better options to store your data.

Let's check the details.

@PHDcomics It's frustrating, but it's also a great opportunity to learn and grow, especially at the Masters level where most of us still had a lot to learn 😂

@markgrossi imo, anyone installing solar should size it up substantially, especially if they might even consider electric vehicles in the future. Also, one might use the AC a little more. Being able to cover home and EV use via solar is a huge benefit.

@markgrossi It was fun learning what Boston does with it's human sewage from it's Deer Island waste water treatment plant a couple weeks ago.

“Residents are asking, ‘Why are you putting a human s--t farm in our neighborhood?’” Good question.

NO, California isn’t ready! Public health agencies’ #CaScientists juggled covid assistance & their real job for yrs & Scientists still have the worst #PayGap compared to mgmt, >57-142%‼️Not found in other CaState jobs! CALeaders IGNORE CaLaw #GC19826a & critical work.

[CaEnvSci @CaEnvSci]

Hey @CaliforniaDTSC can you look into why polluters get a huge discount when a toxic cleanup is led by #CaScientists vs engineers doing the same project mgmt work? The state ignores CaLaw #GC19826a ➡️ HELPS polluters & DESTROYS agencies. #PayEquity

In one word: no.

In more than one word: for nitrogen, to some extent perhaps, particularly with increased use of legumes in rotation.

For most other nutrients, there may be a large soil buffer that can be more efficiently exploited, but microbes won’t bring new P etc. in…

Soil hydraulic conductivity, or the ability of a #soil to transmit #water, impacts almost every soil application. Its measurement is critical to understanding the complete water balance.

I use #rstats to do #GIS every day because it is such a powerful connector of different tools and resources.
