If I was at the meeting this year, this is TOTALLY where I would be for as long as there were puppies available to play with.

[AGU (American Geophysical Union) @theAGU]

Did someone say puppies? Relax and recharge at #AGU23 with a visit to AGU Central, where you can check out the Puppy Play Zone, get a massage or play a few games.

Stop by 🪧 AGU Central in the Exhibit Hall (Moscone North). 📷 See more details at: https://t.co/xSbUFcNBev
