I was listening to the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack on the way to work since I was preparing for battle with python. I was explaining to python in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice that I was going to hear the lamentations of its women. I noticed that "from" was misspelled in the song title. YES!

Postdoc Jingchuan Wang, who's looking at simulating tsunamis generated by seismically triggered landslides and Grad student Qian Shi, who's looking at conditions for runaway ruptures during reservoir operations both gave lightning talks at SCEC today, a great way to highlight their work! #SCEC2026

It's hard to find a good baguette when you live in the state that's the capital of sour dough and you think sour dough is what happens when bread goes bad, but someone decided to market it.

The M6.5 earthquake in Mexico was on the coast in Guerrero near the border with Oaxaca. Based on my experience there will be some damage close to it, like tvs falling to the floor. Mexico City people will feel it, but no damage. The alarm sounded before the seismic waves arrived in Mexico City.

We celebrated the retirement of this great civil servant who dedicated his life to work he thought was important. He was a veteran and then a really great field engineer who designed our radio telemetry array in the desert. It is unfortunate that the hiring freeze means that there is no predecessor.

Congratulations to longtime USGS field tech Scott Lydeen on his retirement! Scott spent decades maintaining & upgrading SCSN stations across SoCal, always innovating and working hand-in-hand with Caltech staff. His legacy lives on, not least at the seismic site named after him. Thank you, Scott!
