667 per centimeter : climate science, quantitative biology, statistics, and energy policy 
Thanks for the intro to Adam, and thereby Kurtis, Jan. I tweeted them both in my ongoing vain effort to get the increased seasonal refraction the Inuit observation identify and quantify the attention they require (assuming non-academic approved data is still scientifically valid). Not holding my breath, but it is/was something [else] to try; an action for today.
Another is saying “hi” to you.
I did not expect, but Gavin would have been on the top of my list for such a position, as the Biden Administration’s climate teams gatekeeper for what will be ‘allowed’ as science. Jim Hansen must be talking to himself in the mirror; Martin Weitzman must be rolling over in his grave.
Some ‘interesting’ stuff is happening in Maine regarding utility scale solar that I’ve a somewhat front row seat for. Like Gavin-as-Gatekeeper, I feel blindsided; relegated to conspiracy theory crazy to try to talk about it.
I like the cropped picture of you from the sail with your son. Triggers a “Wooden Ships” sentiment in me.

I’d forgotten this version. The sister whose hand I took couldn’t/can’t leave. Also interesting!
