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?
@bageler ah, great approach. I wasn’t familiar with perplexity, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks again, appreciate it.
