This #UWashington #Huskies pass offense tonight is brutal. Receiver drops everywhere, Penix isn’t accurate at all, it’s terrible.

@anneapplebaum #BillGates was cruel to project teams. Donated next to nothing to charity or to #uwashington etc. He grew, especially after becoming a husband and father and traveling the world, getting out of his bubble. Working with his parents in his foundation. He found his voice, he seems happy. Check out his #linkedin feed. #elonmusk had a bad relationship with his father. Has a dad complex. Needs approval of far right buds. His children etc aren’t enough to help him grow.

Admittedly, this pair looks like they are having a great time, even though they've been extinct for >12k years. #groundsloth #mammoth #BurkeMuseum #UWashington

In case you ever wondered what a Mammoth foot looks like. Large fat pad (not bone, therefore not preserved in the fossil record) under the heel, but the digits themsleves are pretty delicate. #BurkeMuseum #UWashington #mammoth #paleontology

New paper on ocean biophysics combining profiling Bio-Argo floats and satellites
#NASA #UVA #UMaine #OSU #UWashington

-Positive phytoplankton accumulation rates are associated with elevated geostrophic strain and quasigeostrophic upwelling

-Averaged Lagrangian derivatives at straining fronts include positive accumulation rates and a shoaling mixed layer on the less dense side

-Frontal dynamics drive increases in phytoplankton biomass by accelerating cell division rates
primarily through increased available light

U-Va. law school halts cooperation with U.S. News rankings

The University of Virginia’s law school suspended cooperation with the U.S. News and World Report rankings, a development that means nine of the top 10 schools on the influential list are now in open revolt against the way it is designed.

Law school revolt against U.S. News rankings gains steam

Complaints from the law deans echo perennial criticisms of the U.S. News rankings. There is no sign yet that their revolt will spread to a more generalized boycott of U.S. News rankings of undergraduate and graduate programs.
