Ah. Solved the sore thumb mystery.

What's happening with AoT? What's the future? What have we learned? Join us for a virtual symposium hosted by Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation and Discovery Partners Institute featuring @cec, Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Brenna Berman, @until_arch, @mpapka, and others. eventbrite.com/e/chicagos-arr…

Our 1/20/22 virtual symposium marking 10 years since AoT conception is available now with transcript. Thanks to Discovery Partners Institute and Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation for hosting! uchicagogroup.zoom.us/rec/play/mj-86…

Did anybody else unexpectedly get an awesome Array of Things token in the mail? Such a cool design -- but I would expect nothing less from Charlie Catlett and team

Nice article on our @discoverDPI science team w/ @rporetsky, Aaron Packman, Anuj Tiwari, Laura Clements, @marinemicrobiom, Alaina Harkness at Current, Sarah Owens at Argonne National Lab, and others helping public health departments track/forecast COVID-19 trends. discovermagazine.com/health/scienti…

Cancelled my Karma account after eight years. Two experiences where they demonstrated that their company name is just a gimmick. No integrity.

Excellent quick summary of increasing powerful computational capabilities for climate modeling!

If you paid a fortune at the pump this weekend, we recently voted to crack down on gas price gouging and every single republican voted no.

Congrats to Ian Foster on receiving (well earned!) the 2022 Ken Kennedy Award! (hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/i…)

#ExascaleDay is tomorrow! Follow along all week to learn how DOE Office of Science's #exascale supercomputers will supercharge a new era of scientific discoveries. At Argonne National Lab, we're collaborating with Intel HPC and HPE HPC to launch the upcoming Aurora system ▶️ alcf.anl.gov/aurora

Was great to join Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Senator Dick Durbin, @RepBobbyRush & WH officials at @Argonne to highlight funding for our national labs featured in the #InflationReductionAct. These investments will accelerate scientific discovery to help us build a cleaner, stronger economy!

Very sad to lose Jeff Beck - one of the greatest guitar players and a musical pioneer.

A new article from Chicago magazine details the efforts to build Argonne National Lab's Aurora #exascale supercomputer and how it will help drive advances in science and technology. chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi…

Fun to watch NASCAR from above (my first). Though they keep wiping out taking a left off Columbus onto Balbo and I have to say I’ve taken that turn countless times without any issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We announced the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC, see tpc.dev) today - more than 500 people from more than 60 organizations around the world. anl.gov/article/new-in…
