every day I get emails

ah yes, the evening nap, the most dangerous of naps

"Oh it will be good to do a bunch of the midterm grading myself, that way I'll get a better sense of how my students are doing", said some fool* who hates free time *me last Friday

Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...

Hey fluids friends, we're recruiting in my department this year!

shenanigans

that time of year again

kelp forests are one of my favorite habitats!! i have been watching a million documentaries about them so naturally, i had to draw one.

In the midst of all the turmoil in science, some great opportunities at Berkeley now: 1) Miller Institute postdocs & visiting professorships, 2) faculty position in any Earth & Planetary Science field in my department, 3) faculty position in physical climate science in Env Sci Policy & Mgmt 1/4

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation

Realized today that I have been using matlab for literally half my life, now I need to go sit and think about my choices

Thank god we are early in the summer and August isn’t coming soon. Now let me just take a big sip of coffee before I check the calendar

Go check out this new paper led by @lewinsam.bsky.social in his foray into the world of observational data! It has been a lot of fun getting to dig into some of the ISDE observations and to build up collaborations with some awesome scientists (both on this paper and more generally). Enjoy!

Big brain right here. What are greek letters if not the OG emojis?

who are all you people trying to access the JPO author information?!?

Writing up my solutions nicely 2 hours Reading student problems and assigning points 6 hours Taking "a break from grading" every four problems 37 hours Uploading marks and solutions and final grades 1 hour someone who is good at time management please help me budget this. my weekend is dying

Congratulations to @edoddridge.bsky.social on the @amosupdates.bsky.social Meyers Medal! So well deserved, with outstanding science, extensive outreach/media and invaluable enthusiastic contributions to improving the oceanography community in Australia.

Off to DFD I go! Come see our group present fun work on stratified shear instabilities, plumes, internal waves, and nearshore mixing – we've got talks and e-posters on Sunday morning and Tuesday morning 🌊🌀

submitted the first student-led paper from my group today and it is easily one of the coolest moments I've had in my job

apparently I wave my arms around a lot when I give talks

ooooh just ran a truly garbage-y simulation, it's been a while!

the good stuff

last semester's student evals are in, time to see which of these comments will burrow their way into my brain forever!

Back to work as a colourful fluid dynamicist. Hello 2024!

stuff keeps getting added to my to-do list for the winter break and I don't know how I'm actually supposed to be able to take time off ever 🙁

whew last lecture of the semester done!

tomorrow's APS DFD slides brought to you by my 3-hour layover today

oh nooooo found myself consistently agreeing with one of my department's most opinionated and outspoken members during our day-long faculty retreat today

Mariah Carey "it's coming" Christmas countdown except for my fluids class finally deriving the Navier-Stokes equations

"it is only computer and I am beautiful person" is something we should all keep in mind

I don't understand AGU registration costs at all. Why is one day *half* the cost of a full week, and excludes some of the benefits of the full-week registration on top of that? (I know "AGU fees" is a well-worn topic but like come on)

I'm just a prof. Standing in front of my class. Asking them to *please* include the course number in their email subject lines, my inbox is tragic 😓

Kelvin and Helmholtz, go ahead and name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait

alright let's give this a go
