Hello #AcademicTwitter! I am looking for any helpful tips/advice on the grad school process such as things I should know since I have taken a gap year, GRE help, application tips, how to approach professors, COVID19 things... anything is welcome as I find myself nervous!!!
Going to put this out as plainly as possible. *IF* morning rain/clouds can move out, *IF* the cap isn't too strong, there could be a significant severe weather event in eastern North Texas, Northeast Texas, and East Texas Wednesday afternoon/evening - including tornadoes. #txwx
No major changes to the forecast, with widespread rain and some snow still expected tomorrow morning. Roads will be wet, so give yourself extra time for the morning commute! #dfwwx#ctxwx
I wrote to my representative @RepVeasey about my concerns towards the lack of climate change action and his response was refreshing. We need leaders to not only recognize the consequences of climate change but to do something about it. #ClimateChangeIsReal#ClimateActionNow
When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.

Thank you to all of the NWS meteorologists who can’t be with their families today because they’re serving the public so you can serve your turkey knowing that someone is keeping a watchful eye on the weather.

Started noticing a lot of the now former record lows for Nov 12 were from the year 1911. Yeah, we had weather maps back then. And they're pretty cool. Check it out!
MYSTERY SOLVED!
Did you see 60 small lights drift across the Brazos Valley sky tonight?

Oops!! It’s super cold out but we did not expect to see this scene. Iced-over plants, sidewalks, and even a slushy driveway...all thanks to a gardening sprinkler running all night in Lewisville. #ice#txwx#cold#fail
Climate change is threatening life as we know it. We must continue to forge ahead, supporting those who lead by example. In the US, subnational actors and individuals have taken the mantle of leadership, and will continue to implement Paris, even if US federal leadership falters.
