"...after returning home, she received notice that she’d been banned from the forthcoming field season on the basis of anxiety and other mental health conditions with which she had never been diagnosed. “It felt retaliatory,” she said." eenews.net/articles/how-n…

Extremely grateful to all the folks I've spoken with who have trusted me with their stories and experiences so far. If you've had experiences with the PQ system you'd like to share (confidentially or otherwise), please do reach out -- secure emails listed in my bio.

Thank you @IceSheetMike for being so candid and open in sharing your story about the polar PQ (physical qualification) process with all of us here on twitter and at AGU. And thank you to all the senior scientists that signed onto this open letter to NSF eenews.net/articles/how-n…

Being removed from a cruise because of discriminatory medical clearance process made me feel broken and excluded from the polar community. It is validating to know that I am not alone in this experience but horrifying to read the my colleagues' stories. eenews.net/articles/how-n…

This. And as @BassisJeremy mentions at the end, we need to train students in this multidisciplinary space. A lot of hard problems that we don’t have the workforce for…yet.

This is a great new workshop to introduce prospective students to the somewhat daunting graduate school process. Please circulate to UG students in your dept!

The desertification of Kansas is a terrifying prospect. Farms. Jobs. Families. Too many will be displaced if we don’t work together to address it. This is what #KSleg should have been focusing on this legislative session. Instead, they focused on bathroom and book bans.

Check out this exciting postdoc position of ice-sheet modeling with Laura Stevens @goodnesglaciers and Ian Hewitt (deadline on sep 25). A great opportunity to collaborate with observationalists and modelers as part of a larger collaboration with Leigh Stearns and myself!

❄️We are excited to announce the soft-launch of Virtual Ice Community Engagement (VICE) Squads this month! ❄️ These squads will enable cryosphere scholars that cross geographic, career stage, and disciplinary boundaries to form communities of engagement.

A really cool paper by Ken Hughes! I believe this last sentence sums up his paper well, "But we have taken the first steps to predicting flows induced by iceberg melt that could be applied to fjords across Greenland" 👀 tc.copernicus.org/articles/18/13…
