Hey X! It's been a while; I've been busy! For the past 8 months, I've been making the transition into teaching. I'm now an Adjunct Professor of Earth Science at Harold Washington College & an Adjunct Professor of Environmental Science at National Louis University. Enjoying both!

I was not optimistic…but #Texas stepped up when it mattered most, against OU! Hopefully we can keep this momentum the rest of the season! #HookEm

LOVE IT! Been a long time since Davis Wade has been this loud. Much needed win and morale booster! #HailState

Reminder! Our academic & community partners from the Defusing Disasters Project want to know which ideas you want to prioritize to help keep Chicagoans safe from extreme heat. Survey closes on 9/1/2025. 🔹 English: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cU… 🔹 Español: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eD…

@mattlanza @JoeMartWx @accuweather Highest temperature in El Paso, TX this summer has been 109, so yeah, 103 is definitely wrong…haha!

@JoeMartWx @accuweather @MattHoliner That's a big ole nope. Probably meant 113 or something.

Has your state hit 100º yet this year? 🥵☀️

12am last night in Fairbanks, #Alaska and the sun still had not set…😮 Land of the Midnight Sun indeed!

@krogthedirector That’s a good one! Have only been to two so far. Antarctica will be a tough one…haha!

@MattHoliner All 7 continents?

Made it to #Alaska! And with that, I’ve now visited all 50 states in the USA! 🇺🇸 Travel is my passion. This country is full of amazing places and I’m grateful to have seen so many. But now I need a new travel goal. What should it be? 🤔

What a shot! Lightning hitting the three most famous skyscrapers in Chicago (Willis Tower, Trump Tower, and 875 North Michigan Avenue) AT THE SAME TIME! Well done Craig Shimala. 👏🏻 ⚡️#Weather #Lightning #Chicago

As #Chicago faces its first #heatwave of 2025, here's your chance to help the city be better prepared and #climateresilient. Complete this survey and let the city know which heat safety policies should be prioritized for implementation: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cU…

Great event! Highly recommend anyone interested in or wanting to learn more about #climatechange in #Chicago visit this museum.

If you're looking to network with others focused on doing good for communities and the planet, I highly recommend this event. Lots of great organizations involved! Looking forward to representing #ChicagoClimateConnect and meeting others who want to make a difference.

My favorite nerd shirt. A reminder to always stay positive, courtesy of science!🔬🚀⛈️🧑‍🔬 #MondayMotivation

Great job ladies!! #HookEm

Great hire! Things are looking up for @HailStateBB! #HailState

With #smoke from #Canadianwildfires pushing into the U.S., re-sharing this episode of "Across the Sky." We recorded this in 2023, just after the U.S. experienced very poor #airquality from Canadian wildfire smoke. Here we go again in 2025...#ClimateChange shows.audiocdn.com/s/leeenterpris…

If you're a scientist in #Chicago, I highly recommend getting involved with @IllinoisScience. Great organization to connect with others who are interested in the same thing while promoting #science education. Looking forward to this on Wednesday! 🤓🍻

This is a video I wish everyone could watch. We need more quality content like this. It's #science and #education that's led to the quality of life we enjoy today. If we stop valuing and prioritizing them, that life can easily be lost. youtube.com/watch?v=iP2lH2…

Should the government reduce wasteful spending? Yes. Should cuts be made to programs focused on protecting life and property? Absolutely not. That’s not wasteful spending!#ProtectNOAA #ProtectFEMA cnn.com/2025/05/22/wea…

Simply incredible satellite imagery of a dust storm hitting Chicago this evening.
