@grantdmckenzie Anyway, onward to the “Reviewer 2 Awards”!!

@grantdmckenzie I show the back-and-forth in my classes every year for about 30 minutes. I think students are pretty surprised how much unrecognized effort there is in science!

Along with the "best reviewer" awards that some journals give out, we need to present awards for "worst reviewer" (similar to the #razzies). We need more accountability... especially when it comes to reviewing student-led research papers.

Well, tomorrow is the last day for my potential China Scholarship Council student to receive his study permit. He's been waiting for more than a year! It's a real embarrassment for me at @mcgillu. Perhaps @CitImmCanada can help!

@BiplovBhandari @giswqs @EarthOutreach @TheGeoICT @UAH_LAS @SERVIRGlobal I felt famous just standing next to you guys!

With the creator of the geemap @giswqs . It was nice to be connected in person and help out with his Python session at #G4G23 @EarthOutreach

🚨 RED ALERT: Republicans in the Wisconsin State Legislature are threatening to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz—before she’s even heard a single case. A desperate, unconstitutional, and obscene threat to democracy… and 2024. Here’s what’s happening & how to fight back:🧵

@africa_science @SpringerNature @mcgillu Check out this very impressive work from @NRSMcGill PhD student/superstar Africa Flores-Anderson (@africa_science). It quantifies the time to wait for an image (@NASA_Landsat with @CopernicusData) across the entire Tropics. Key for prioritizing SAR analysis for timelier updates!

Would you like to know where and when there are satellite data gaps due to cloud coverage and what are the implications for forest monitoring? Check our new paper and data created @SpringerNature #ScientificData, just off the press! @mcgillu earthenvironmentcommunity.nature.com/posts/where-an…

@TC_Chakraborty 24 hrs is plenty! One thing that liberated me was when I realized that everyone else I talked to was as unprepared-feeling as me, but that I somehow couldn’t notice it in their talk. Good luck!

New paper! Highly accurate ice breakup stats/maps for lakes across sizes of five orders of magnitude! The simple, reproducible OPEN-ICE model from Xavier Giroux-Bougard @xgirouxb is applied over all freshwater pixels of Canada for 2013-2021. Amazing work! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@WantSomeFries2 Also- finding a hatchet in a kid’s garage and having one kid climb a young tree in the woods while the other kid chopped it down. Jumping off swings into pine trees to see if you could do it without getting hurt. Jumping off swings for distance!

@WantSomeFries2 Playing in the creek looking for crayfish. Three-person football in the backyard. Trying to break an old door with karate chops. Playing unlimited Putt-Putt from noon to 4 on Tuesdays. Sitting by the radio with my tape recorder. Biking up to the theater to see Star Wars again!

People 30+ what use to keep y’all entertained since y’all didn’t have social media back in the days ?

@bielleogy I was very proud to get the first reference to be “Guthrie 1944.” After some hesitation the editors went all in and included a full-page pic of Woody Guthrie! With his “This Machine Kills Fascists” guitar! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.189…

Congratulations to Dr. Mike Wulder @mikewulder for your election to the #OrderOfCanada! Scientifically creative and generous, rigorous and encouraging, it’s a privilege to work with you. Congrats!

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 43 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect. A THREAD 1/38

Our favorite superstar/mom/wife/daughter/aunt Dr. @ElenaBennett signs the big book and becomes a new member of the National Academy of Sciences! I’m sure she’d like to thank everyone along the way, including past and present mentors, students, parents, and family. Woo hoo!

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one. Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce. I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting. But this time, alone.
