Randy Olson is coming to Cornell to give a quick workshop on Science Communication. He has a recent book out called "Don't Be Such a Scientist," which I grabbed at the library last week, not knowing he was coming. He also has a movie called "Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy" which is playing at Cornell Cinema during his time here.
So all of this has resparked my desire to simply write about my work. Make it exiting, if it is (which it's often not), but mostly to be honest, transparent, truthful, and clear. I'm shooting for weekly updates, starting now. So if you're reading this, and I slack off, hold me to it! Scold me!
This week, I'm returning to campus after a hectic summer. I have stacks of daunting, not terribly exiting work ahead of me. More modifications of emissions files. More nitty-gritty fighting with the climate model. A TA-ship, where I'll grade homeworks, and teach a class or two. On top of all that, I'm taking a two-semester sequence of classes called "Mathematical Physics" to give me the tools I need to know what I'm doing.
On top of all that, I have a new house, four new housemates, many beers, ciders, and meads to brew, and a new park in my backyard to explore. Here we go!
