Our new paper about Air Quality Equity in US Climate Policy is out today in @PNASNews! The figure highlights the pervasiveness of national and state-level air pollution disparities. But can climate policy change this pattern? See🧵below or paper here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We have a new paper out today about the statistical estimation of climate impacts and how that process intersects with the physical climate! Want more summary? Find me on blue sky! Link to article here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

☁️ New study on marine cloud brightening out in @NatureClimate ☁️ Regional marine cloud brightening (MCB) in the North Pacific reduces extreme heat over the Western U.S. under present-day conditions but becomes ineffective under mid-century warming. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Has the Coastal Commission made housing and climate crises worse? It’s offended at even the suggestion dlvr.it/T8SmnC

SpaceX launch as seen from Scripps 🚀

Headlines about biking, love to see it

I'm hiring a postdoc interested in researching environmental health disparities! Apply at gwu.jobs/postings/108681 in person @GWDeptEOH starting summer/fall 2024 Please share!

You know what time it is 😍 Hope you all enjoyed the stunning end to our last warm day for a while 🥲

*Climate justice: we all want it, but what is it?* NEW PAPER! nature.com/articles/s4155… We propose a framework for understanding climate justice in research. Let's dive in, shall we? Long 🧵🧵🧵

New @PNASNews paper on quantifying fire-specific smoke impacts, expertly led by @jeffliwen. We link each big wildfire (2006-2020) in the US to its impact on PM2.5 and health. Complements typical fire impact measures (burned area, structures lost, etc). 🧵pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

At #AGU23 this week. Come check out my talk on aerosols in climate policy on Mon at 10:40am or my poster on the role of physical science in statistical climate impact models on Thurs afternoon. Also free to reach out if you want to chat!

We asked about scientists' climate beliefs, climate actions, the role of scientists and academic institutions, and what is required to address climate change. 91% of all surveyed scientists believe that we need fundamental changes to social, economic, and political systems.

@PascalPolonik @NWSSanDiego Outrageous!! Is that ocean beach?

We knoooooooooow some of you captured the sunset just a few moments ago. Share you sunset pictures below kindly please and thank you #CAwx

@ellies671 @ob_cycler I went to the pedestrian bridge to the East. As far as I can tell there’s no access from the street and it requires walking backwards (North). The bridge drops you in the mall (not where I was going). Also Google maps doesn’t understand any of this

@PascalPolonik @ob_cycler The worst. Must cross at the pedestrian bridge to the east or the intersection to the north.

In San Diego, these anti-pedestrian signs are permanent.

@NevoMagnezi English Garden + paths along Isar are a must (bike could be good). Marienplatz despite being touristy. Pretzels and beer sort of anywhere. Might lean towards bars around the universities. Rischart is a bakery chain but it’s good. Time permitting, train to mountains (eg Garmisch)
