It's been such a privilege to work with this amazing team and community. I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished together.
I'm looking forward to taking some time for rest, reflection, and reconnection with family, friends, and nature before charting my next course.

@BenLong1967 well, at least you were doing something? I think @CraigAWelch had a whole thread about ridiculous injuries you get while sleeping. I may have contributed :)

@thatsMohrlikeit there’s always a temptation to look for a new shiny tech solution to an enviro problem… so we often underinvest in the people component.
Improved detection/actionable real-time fire info is important, but isn’t a magic fix.

Hild by @nicolaz was a stunningly rich, immersive experience in book form - I am so looking forward to diving into the sequel Menewood!

[Dr. Amanda Stanley @astanley.bsky.social @AmandaConsSci]

@nicolaz @PhinneyBooks Yay! I have never been so excited to pre-order a book. Can't wait.

A few months ago, I read a study that showed schizophrenia can be the most deadly preexisting condition during a heat wave.

I was puzzled: Why would a mental illness make you more vulnerable to heat?

That question led me to a young man named Stephan Goodwin. This is his story🧵

Reading these. Deep breaths. Remembering sending and receiving messages like this almost a year ago during a shooting at my kid's school. wondering how many others are reliving that feeling too. And how many never got a reply.

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

@AIRNow @ThePurpleAir @forestservice Thanks! I'm curious about the correction to crowd-sourced sensors. I saw this: https://t.co/3tKkavxZUO but it didn't link to a technical report describing the methods. is the correction is unidirectional, and if so why @thepurpleair sensors consistently overestimate PM 2.5?

[Dr. Amanda Stanley @astanley.bsky.social @AmandaConsSci]

Can anyone at @AIRNow @ThePurpleAir explain the discrepancy?

[Dr. Amanda Stanley @astanley.bsky.social @AmandaConsSci]

Can any #wildfire #smoke #airquality folks tell me why https://t.co/Z11Gl1zhZa is giving consistently lower AQI than https://t.co/sgiHP3Gekp? e.g. Right now AirNow puts Seattle's AQI at 70, but PurpleAir shows most sensors >100
