ominous brain cloud
A three-dimensional schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a mid-latitude cyclone using the conveyor belt model. The diagram shows a comma-shaped cloud shield viewed from an oblique angle, with north indicated by an arrow in the upper left.
Key features labeled include: a cold front on the left side with cold air flowing in from the west; a warm front extending to the right with warm air rising over cool air below the conveyor belt; and a warm sector containing convective cells (depicted as hatched oval shapes). The conveyor belt curves from the bottom of the diagram upward and around, carrying warm air aloft along the warm front.
The legend in the lower right identifies symbols for: convective cells (hatched ovals), primary precipitation (diagonal hatching), secondary precipitation (horizontal lines), cloud shield (stippled gray shading), and low-level winds (arrows).
Arrows throughout indicate airflow patterns, showing cold air undercutting warm air at the cold front, warm air rising over cool air at the warm front, and the cyclonic circulation of the overall system.

Anyone else feel seen?
A light brown zebra with faded stripes stands on a grassy hillside at Vergelegen wine farm near Cape Town. Unlike typical zebras, its stripes are less pronounced and fade into a plain brown color on its lower body. The animal is photographed against a backdrop of dense green vegetation and a bright blue sky with a single white cloud. Below the image is a headline in white text asking "Did Scientists Revive an Extinct Animal or Just Breed a Less Stripey Zebra?"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Some personal news.. I will be joining Durham Geography as Assistant Professor (Research) this November! My 5-year Wellcome Trust project "Under Pressure" will explore the historical and cultural geographies of meteorosensitivity (the physiological and psychological impact of weather on health).
An illustration depicting a medieval cityscape with colorful buildings in the foreground. Above the city, there is a stylized sun on the left with a human face, surrounded by rays. To the right, a large celestial object with a face and long, flowing tail extends upward, resembling a comet. The sky is mostly clear and blue.
