A vintage book exhibition is available. We remain at the festival until late, enjoying sangria, sampling tapas, and dancing, and I feel a profound bond with the city and its inhabitants, who are friendly, hospitable, and brimming with energy.

Manufacturing encompasses more than just the items we create; it also reflects the integrity and standing of our organization.

September: "I'll 100% have the full draft completed by October"

October: "I'm hoping to have most of it written by November"

November: "I'm praying to at least have an introduction by Christmas"

December: "2024 is my year, trust me"

Trying to weave all my projects into a coherent research narrative

One of my favorite things: when people leave free books in the department kitchen. I certainly hit the jackpot today, especially with Vallis and the PO data analysis book!

Maybe I should go to campus more often…

@ThatAnnaMarie Any chance there will be a virtual option for attending?

Our paper (led by @MackinMocean) on internal variability of extreme weather is out now in its final form.

[UConn Marine Sciences @UConnMarineSci]

Tonight at Beer'd Brewery in the Velvet Mill (22 Bayview Ave, Stonington, CT), our senior undergraduate students will hold poster presentations of their research on the causes of water quality impairment in local coves as part of MARN 4001.

Join us beginning at 6:30 pm!

And we’re off! Super excited to be a part of the @NASA_SMODE field campaign aboard the RV Bold Horizon for the next month. Looking forward to doing some cool science on ocean fronts and filaments 😁

Had an amazing experience during my internship with @climateai this summer exploring climate projection uncertainties in extreme temp and precip using large ensembles. Got my first first-author paper out of it - check out this thread for the details!! 🥳

[Stephan Rasp @raspstephan]

Climate change will primarily be felt through changes in extreme weather. In a new paper led by @MackinMocean during an internship @cliamteai we explore how uncertain projections of those changes are and why.

Had a blast at @mysticaquarium Women in Science Day event! Got to teach the kiddos some core concepts of physical oceanography like density and waves through interactive activities. Start them while they’re young! Can’t wait for next year 😁🌊
