Louisiana law says the governor makes appointments to the levee authority from names provided by the nominating committee. Landry didn’t do that: he appointed someone else.

Louisiana law says each member of the levee authority must meet exacting criteria. Landry didn’t do that: his unauthorized appointee fails to meet the criteria.

Landry’s lawlessness is endangering Louisiana citizens.

New Orleans area flood agency's new board president seeks fresh start

Following months of resignations and heated debates, the New Orleans area flood protection agency met in a notably calm session under new president Peter Vicari — though questions remain over a recent board appointment.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) urges continued support and robust funding for NOAA, the federal agency that is the source of critical weather and climate information, including forecasting during severe weather events. This is literally a matter of life or death.

Read the letter and the details of just some of the essential services NOAA provides to more than earn our support.

#GREATNEWSALERT: I have received the 2023 #ASCE Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize: https://www.asce.org/career-growth/awards-and-honors/walter-l-huber-civil-engineering-research-prizes

I am super stoked.

From #Wikipedia, the prize is "the highest level mid-career research award in all areas of civil engineering.": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_L._Huber_Civil_Engineering_Research_Prize

For ChatGPT users, ask the algorithm what the award is 😀 .

The agreement assures NOAA’s scientific data will be applied to ASCE’s standards and engineering design codes. This means we're all going to pay for climate change as we are forced to build more robust infrastructure in response to changing weather. Maybe it would be less expensive to invest in changes that will lessen the severity of climate change from the get-go? Just a thought.

My parents wanted to get me a subscription to something useful for Christmas. I contemplated paying my membership dues for #ASCE ~$300, but then balked at the price and benefits.

Putting #ACM (~$200) and #ASCE side by side, it's not a competition. I won't get journal access to ASCE (WITH membership they estimate MONTHLY journal access > $300!!)

My salary increased 50% when I switched to software, and I never had a professional dev budget in #structuralengineering 🤔 😲 #foodforthought

So with lots of new individuals flocking here with the #RIPTwitter , I have not seen very many institutions, organizations or journals that are #twitter active hop on (or maybe I have missed their links?). Do y'all think some of them will establish their own instances? #AAAS #ACS, #ASM #ASCE, to name a few of the larger ones I am active in.
