Outspoken DEIA advocate, but not here to educate you (can offer professional training or consulting).

CW: there will be politics, sarcasm, and news boosts.

Love seeing AMS stepping up in a concrete and useful way when the entire field is in crisis. Hope more science professional societies step up like this.

But we can all help discourage this behavior!
* Only share wildfire drone imagery if you're confident they had special permission to fly.
* When you hear folks talk about doing this, speak out against this reckless behavior.
* Remind other pilots that violating TFRs is a crime and incredibly unsafe.
It's infuriating that people are still illegally flying personal drones in wildfire response zones, prioritizing getting a good video or photo for personal promotion and social media views over public safety. It interferes with wildfire response, and puts crewed aircraft pilots at risk.
Just testing buffer.

📣 Request for signal boost!

Calling all woman of color working in or studying near-surface geophysics at AGU24 this week! Connect with colleagues tomorrow (Wednesday) for an informal lunchtime social. Reach out to kmkeat at rutgers dot edu asap for details.

Uhh, is it a problem that seaweed is now growing in the persistently high water on the #Embarcadero?
Ok #SFBayArea folks. EBRPD has put out a notice about a large permitted event basically making most of the Iron Horse Trail unusable Saturday Jan 27. But they don’t seem to be answering questions of what, and I’m trying to find out because it affects my weekend. Anyone have any ideas?
