@pokateo_maps There are no punctuation marks in these column headings. Everything is great!

Say you were kidnapped, but allowed to keep posting to pretend things are fine...What's a phrase that screams 'you're not alright' to people that know GIS but your kidnappers don't know you're asking for help. I'll go first: "ArcMap hasn't crashed all day!" #gischat

@ras_nancy @museumofscience @ScienceCenters @SciStarter Thanks Nancy! How are you?

@dsfeld @museumofscience @ScienceCenters @SciStarter Congratulations ❤️ Well Deserved

Warming up to receive my 25 year anniversary award @museumofscience for #MuseumSelfieDay! (I remember my head having more hair last time I tried this). @ScienceCenters @SciStarter

@pokateo_maps Red exclamation points, broken path.

Happy geoween, #GISchat! Write a geospatial horror story in 5 words.

I'm very honored to be part of this group led by @lifeandscience that will work with 30 US communities to help identify vulnerabilities to #extremeheat. Applications open on 11/1! Many thanks to @HeatGov @NOAA for supporting!

📣 Applications to work with the NIHHIS Center for Collaborative Heat Monitoring open on November 1st! The center supports communities in collecting #heat distribution data through community-led campaigns. Save the date, and visit collaborativeheatmonitoring.org for more information.

The incubation period for Marburg virus disease is about a week, which means this outbreak has been going on for a few weeks to have this many cases already- and likely a lot of contacts may already be missed. Rwanda has strong public health infrastructure. But this outbreak will take effort & international collaboration.

@KathieDello So horrible.

Heat is taking a toll on students' learning, especially for low-income families without access to adequate cooling. @VKellyTurner discusses how the heat crisis deepens educational disparities. Read more in @LAist buff.ly/4e7UUM9 @Erstone7 @UCLA @uclaluskin

@jer_science @holaculturadc This is a great opportunity #gischat!

My friends at @holaculturadc are looking for a GIS specialist for a limited-time project analyzing tree canopy gain/loss in Washington, DC. They're a fantastic organization that has been translating environmental issues into community-relevant messages and need some #GIS help!

HEY! WANNA BE A MARINE ECOLOGIST AT @UMassBoston!? We've just posted an Assistant Professor Position at employmentopportunities.umb.edu/boston/en-us/j…

@pokateo_maps I just keep erasing stuff :)

your birth month is the only GIS tool you can use at work today. how's your day looking? #gischat

@hapyresearchers Same, but with _v3_revisions before the .docx

Final.....🤣

@NoelleSelin @MITGlobalChange Well-deserved, congrats Noelle!

I'm excited to be taking on the leadership of this new center, incorporating and succeeding @MITGlobalChange and the Center for Global Change Science at MIT! Looking forward to future collaborations -- and #sustainability #climate action.

@m_cawley_ @lifeandscience @museumofscience @azsciencecenter @OMSI @USUAggies @NCSCO @CAPAstrategies Excited to collaborate and learn with this great group, thanks for your leadership Max!

the Center for Collaborative Heat Monitoring inaugural meeting was this week in Portland, OR. Much work to be done over the next few years, but couldn’t possibly have asked for a more ambitious, dedicated, and thoughtful team to take on this endeavor.

@jer_science @ClimateCentral Can confirm that what you are saying here is consistent with what we saw in our #wickedhotboston @museumofscience

Actually! Urban cores *cool the air* through structural shading at the warmest time of the day, something we've seen consistently in several cities. So, the @ClimateCentral model-based estimation of Richmond's heat island intensity disagrees with observation-based estimations.

@safe_climate @AustynGaffney Thanks for sharing this! We @museumofscience are excited to be part of this team led by @lifeandscience that will work with 30 communities around the US to help identify #heat disparities and plan for resilience: heat.gov/pages/center-f…

‘More Heat, More Often’: Temperature Records Keep Breaking The burning of fossil fuels has created more frequent and more intense heat waves. Experts warn these heat waves are “the new normal.”“Heat is like the silent storm,” @dsfeld @AustynGaffney nytimes.com/2024/07/11/cli…

@pokateo_maps Ha!
