Dr. Blank's four years serving in my administration was just one part of her extraordinary life. Whether in government or academia, she devoted her career to reducing inequality and increasing opportunities for others, and made everyone around her better.  jsonline.com/story/news/edu…

🎉It’s official: the NSF/NCAR C-130 is back! After 2 years away and a few upgrades, we are so excited to have the C-130 return to our Research Aviation Facility! 🛬 Stay tuned for more about the exciting updates to the C-130 and where it’s headed next!

This isn’t a prediction. It isn’t a hint. It’s just a note. And my note is, this election was a release valve for twelve years of Democratic rage in Wisconsin about Republicans rigging our state and smashing our democracy—and then using that power to rip away our rights.

Congrats to College of Wooster alumni Kevin Wokosin and Emma Shell on this award! They wrote an #AtmosChem review with me that just kept going... We finally ended at 54 journal pages, 485 references, and 23 figures. I'm not exaggerating when I say their work was comprehensive!

Atmospheric chemists, if you want a molecular perspective on near surface reactions, take a look here. It features my good friend N2O5.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

I am looking forward to all the great things that Prof. Vermeuel will do at Purdue EAPS. Congrats!

Big new paper out today in Science! We find that Biden admin's approach to identifying and prioritizing EJ communities is unlikely to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in PM2.5 exposure. If you want to address racial disparities, can't ignore race! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Do you study biosphere-atmosphere interactions? We would love to see your work at the Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions of Reactive Carbon, Oxidants, and Aerosols #AGU23 session. Consider submitting an abstract! Convened by Joshua Shutter, Kelley Wells, Mj Riches | chemj.bsky.social, Delaney Kilgour, myself

Last year Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences published it's first diversity statement. This year, we show our receipts and the work still to be done: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

This is a fantastic opportunity with a great team.

Sorta bummed that I never got to sail on this unique piece of history.

Wow! Can't wait to see the midwest.
