Wall Street is retreating from DEI, as programs once meant for minorities and women are now open to all. One ex-exec says she’s had white women ask what opportunities their sons will have if Wall Street focuses on promoting underrepresented groups

Programs once meant for people of color and women are now open to all.

Same, but there are risks. I'm from NY. I talk really fast (but have learned to slow down to accommodate others). That + caffeine = Bad.

I think the reason will overlap why Twilight was such a big deal. I don't actually have a grand theory though...

Yes to this. Need an emoji for "I acknowledge the validity of your argument, also here's a pie for your face"

Video statement from NSIDC’s Twila Moon at a pre-AGU workshop on polar geoengieering projects. These ideas have been recently publicized in a “Giant Antarctic Ocean Curtain to stop sea level rise” press article. Scientists [paraphrased]: “Whoa. Time out folks.” 🧪⚒️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLnQ...

I wonder if otherwise-healthy people start having allergies to things like technology or social media after too much exposure. Like an evolutionary protection mechanism.

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 07/02/2024

I wonder if this is just me, but I deal with technology in the form of supercomputers on the cloud for work and when I'm not working, I basically want everything to be Stone Age-friendly. It's like going to the mall - I've got a set time (20min) I can deal with shopping and then I just run out.

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 06/02/2024

Totally legitimate. I only get pissed when people (who I do not work in and admin role for. which is zero people.) ask me to "send them a reminder". We all have calendars.

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 31/01/2024

No, this really *IS* a compliment. I think pretty much any actual structural change involves databases, spreadsheets and a lot of people having to read some well-written manual. Bullshit changes tend to come in the form of "rousing speeches". Which are fun, but usually useless.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws) cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble

Actually... I research precipitation on Antarctica and my first reaction to that headline was "F@#$KING PROVE IT"

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 03/01/2024

So... curious what people think about Hurrell at a WCRP conference calling for the *IPCC* to conduct a study on solar geoengineering? I see it as pretty obvious that we need more than peer-review to ensure feasibility for any geoengineering. Is there a downside to large orgs (like IPCC) running it?

I don't like this information.

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 22/12/2023

It's just logical. If the glacier gets knocked up and has little glacier babies then there's more ice, less sea level rise and also ponies for everyone. Trust me, I'm an obstetrician. I mean climate scientist.

Tri Datta @tridatta.bsky.social · 22/12/2023

you think you're being funny, but one of the solutions suggested at the Stanford conference (but *very* speculatively - not even proposing a feasibility study..) involved injecting a viscous substance into a crevasse. Word use intentional.

A few years back I coded an algorithm to compute daily surface melt in Antarctica from microwave sat. data. The NSIDC adopted the code but it isn't live yet. Until then, I created my own "Antarctica Today" app that'll auto-post replies to this thread. Daily surface melt extent w/ a 1-day lag. 🧪⚒️🌍

I'm especially clapping bc @natalyagomez.bsky.social devoted a substantial amount of a Very Short acceptance speech to acknowledging the role that structural privilege has played in her own success, recognizing and inspiring actions that change that system.

Completely inappropriate for this conversation, but please try to work this into a talk someday: Your worship makes me want to take a nap.

Is the community of 🌊 level projection experts too accustomed to working with the scraps off the 💰 agency tables? I firmly believe that if the right 👀 can see how insufficient sea level projections are, the money will come. $20M won't be too much to ask. Let's 💭 big! What's our dream ask?!??😎 1/

Been wondering lately whether popular writing in economics has gotten sloppier or whether I'm just old...like: some really basic shit like "mean vs distribution" just gets glossed over and ...if I can spot that, why didn't the editor?

Honestly, if there was a show that had Bill Hader's deadpan shtick matched with a pissy middle-aged woman solving crime (Olivia Colman, Viola Davis, Kate Winslet), I wouldn't leave the house ever again.

No HBO, but good call. I'd watch Bill Hader reading an encyclopedia and piss myself laughing.

I actually think *Jane Austen* is hella trashy, but I accept just about anything in space dramas. Noted. Ghosts looks like a GREAT option. Thanks. Anybody wants to fight me on my Jane Austen take, I'm here for it. Can't code for shit today.

I had this conversation a couple months ago: I joked "I speak Fortran" and a senior scientist, and then he squinted at me and said "It's weird, because you look WAY too young for that..."

Also down to discuss this article someday. 😀

I'm sure if this was someone who had power over me, I'd be laughing less. Don't mean to diminish the potential impact. Just that I find this level of politicization of the benign really hard to take seriously on some level.

Good to see you here! All is ...weird! Not bad, just a little weird. But frequently enjoying this liminally-academic stage.

Yeah, that's part of why it seemed comical to me. Like: Hey, let's make field camp a great experience for-NO!! WOKEDYWOKEWOKEWOKEGAYAGENDA🤯!! . Like: Man, someone needs to get off the internet and take a nap.
