I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.
Applications are open for our 2025 paleoclimate summer school, paleoCAMP, held in the eastern Sierras in late June! Please repost and share with your graduate students.

Applications will open up Jan 1 for this intense 2-week course in isotopes! Come to University of Utah, learn lots about geospatial modelling, do some fieldwork, and learn from instructors all over the world!
I'll also be there, if that's a bonus for anyone 🧪
Anyone want to go to grad school, learn geology and study in Antarctica?
Positions will be fully funded (stipend, tuition waiver, benefits) and students may be eligible for internal fellowship awards.

Help us raise $4K in the next few days to let a DACA graduate student stay enrolled in our program. All levels of support welcome.
I do but I’m not sure if that helps being in Atlanta!
Scientist?

Trying to figure out what the hell a "feed" is and why hashtags aren't working the same as on Twitter?

Notes from your friendly neighbourhood disaster person:
It stings professionally how difficult I’m finding it to stay on top of disaster news this summer, but it’s really fucking ominous how hard it is to get latest info or check specific details even when deliberately searching.

In a new essay, @jeffcorbin.bsky.social, Meg Duffy, @carlyziter.bsky.social and I talk about the urgent need to move beyond "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approaches to climate education, instead sharing pathways to climate action that engage and empower, while fighting the immobility of despair.
Oh no!!! That’s so awful.
