"I learned not to take initial rejections as being permanent obstacles to moving ahead." When Elinor Ostrom applied for a PhD in economics she was turned away. Undefeated she took on a different doctorate and in 2009 was the first woman to receive the prize in economic sciences.

When it comes to communication, we often focus on the ability to convey a message clearly. This is important but not sufficient. Communication also requires humility and empathy - the ability to listen to someone, understand their view, and know what they most need to hear.

This is my son's (6 y.o.) perspective on my job

So much research goes unnoticed because its story gets lost. I started Convey to help researchers tell the story of their science through quality scientific graphics. Check out our page! #conveyyourscience #scicomm #sciencegraphics #storytelling

Happy graduation with my lovely hydro friends @jorgeesanjuan Dimitrios Fytanidis Leila Hernandez Rodriguez Meredith Richardson Martin Susana Roque-Malo, PhD AndresPrada CEE at Illinois V.T.Chow Hydrosystems Lab 🎓🎉

I am lookin for an immediate postdoc with interest & background in ML/AI pertaining to causal inference, reinforcement learning, contextual bandits etc with application in decision science wrt climate hazards & agricultural critical zone. Pls send interest to [email protected].

Watch the waves from the M7.6 earthquake near the coast of Michoacán, Mexico roll across seismic stations in North America. (THREAD 🧵)

When we have a tall eddy covariance tower measuring fluxes from a mosaic of agricultural fields - an organized heterogeneity - how do we discern which crop contributes how much ? Answers in excellent work of Leila Hernandez Rodriguez in collab w/ Allison Goodwell frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

I’m a huge fan of Judea Pearl’s “The Book of Why,” esp his 3-level causal reasoning model. But it got me wondering… Could there be even higher levels of causal reasoning? So I asked GPT-4, and it produced a speculative take w/ 6 additional levels. Here they are, from 1–9 🧵

#AGU2023 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS! Submit to "H033. Causal Inference in Hydrology" session. Join us to advance the field of causality in hydrology! Deadline: Aug 2, 2023. Abstracts: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli… 🌎🌍🌏💧 #hydrology

Have you wondered how we may define "critical interface" and what role they play in the context of hydrology/landscape/critical zone processes? We hope the following paper provides insights to build on: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Can we identify patterns of causal interactions in turbulence using high frequency observations? Do they impact functional system response? See two related works by Leila Hernandez Rodriguez pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/articl…
