One day I'll tell the whole story of everything. The media circus and political hubub taught me a lot. @DermotMCole wrote the initial story with compassion and is a true gentleman of a journalist

Ten years ago my family went through hell: they were informed by the Troopers that I was dead. I'm not though, I promise! It was a crazy experience for my parents, brothers, extended family. Traumatic doesn't begin to describe what they experienced adn.com/anchorage/arti…

Folks - anyone doing boat work for research and teaching had any experience in provision of access to boats/fieldwork for disabled colleagues/students?

@walton_bronwyn @Climatologist49 I completely understand! Too much sun is a lot. For me, I love both the periods of rain and sun. Lately, walking my daughter to daycare in a t shirt has been our happy place. Soon, our happy place will involve puddles too though

@JustinTPriest @Climatologist49 I'm just not a fan of a warmer, drier rainforest. Doesn't bode well. 🤷‍♀️Plus, I have reverse SAD (honest!) and all this sun is actually depressing me.

@fishpeopleplace Hi! I oversee about 20 technicians and half dozen biologists and sit on hiring often. Coming out of a masters, we'd like: strong field skills (boat driving?), R & git coding, leadership/supervisory exp, basic stock assess, kindness/ability to work in a team.

@Souldotna I don't know her but reading that makes me feel like I did. And I've known many Alaskans with a similar heart. What a wonderful obituary

@mattbuxton I think that he'll let it pass without signing. The threat to veto is likely posturing to coerce schools into further budget cuts without him actually cutting it. He gets some cuts & lets leg allies look like they're solving crisis

@datamanAK I agree but I do feel like a not insubstantial number of (urban) state legislators would see that as a reason to defund ed. Not trying to discredit the idea because I've wondered about this often

@datamanAK Wouldn't that exacerbate the rural-urban achievement gap?

@PDXinAK So tiny and precious. We have a 5 month old daughter. I'm sure that you are doing great, hope that you can give yourself some grace during the first week. It can be tough! All the best

@eagleeye049 @jsamdrolet I can't comment specifically for DOT but in other state agencies, that's a massive problem. Loss of institutional knowledge has huge economic impacts!

@jsamdrolet It makes one wonder if Tier 3 retirements, and lack of competitive pay and retirement for Tier IV employees is making attracting and retaining good candidates for state positions difficult. It seems like staffing issues and wheels coming off are systemic across most of the SOA.

Dermot Cole links to the actual rundown of deficiencies in the STIP, and yeah, this is really egregious stuff. So much so that I'm kind of baffled at how DOT&PF could have fucked this up so bad. dermotcole.com/reportingfroma…

@KMfishbiologist What a tragedy. Lots of agencies have a "Get the data no matter what" mentality. How can we empower our staff to be OK saying no?
