There's nothing quite like getting an error message about your program entering a "bad state". Proof computers have feelings? (mood: sad girl)

guess who gets to be on a really cool panel?? I'd describe my role as the "aspiring student" 😎 register if you're around! tinyurl.com/2bdw6e86

I forgot to take a group shot at the end (sad) but it was still so wonderful to circle back to my IR roots and talk water diplomacy with my fave Georgetown SFS professor and some #goals diplomats from UNC 🥰 thanks UNC Global Affairs & Science Policy and Advocacy Group (SPAG) at UNC-CH!

The need for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is getting more urgent with every passing hour. The parties to the conflict & the international community face an immediate & fundamental responsibility: Stop this inhuman collective suffering & dramatically expand humanitarian aid.

and also vote in your municipal/county/state elections!

come check out my talk on designing a global risk pool to manage weather-related risk for hydro tomorrow! 🙂Conveniently at 10:29 -- y'all can even sleep in 😴

I look forward to #AGU each year — the past two have brought me really valuable connections, ideas, and potential collaborations. But I also get to spend a concentrated amount of time with people that I admire and like and rarely get to see in person. Here’s to many more!

Also, I should commemorate my favorite #AGU23 talk — a history of water management in China from Ling Zhang, using 3 stories, tales to warn and guide scientists and decision makers in planning! #history #water #scipol

why Triangle, why?? My biggest gripe with this area is public transit 😭 though admittedly the 400 and 405 have seldom let me down getting between CH and Durham every day!

sad way to start 2024 :( support your small businesses folks!

This year is already bringing to fruition to product of many collaborations across institutions and fields! Shout out to the lead authors who invited and wrangled the rest of us to cover ways to bridge the gaps between science and practice & using insurance for resilience

Collab #2 😎 paper in #AppliedEnergy on how #agrivoltaics impact #SDGs with colleagues from across the US and Ethiopia, including the fab Majdi Abou Najm . ICYMI, agrivoltaics were the subject of my MS thesis and are my big PhD side quest (one of too many) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I had no idea my paper on the #SDGs and #agrivoltaics would have such interdisciplinary applicability, even to neurology! (spoiler: it doesn’t) Paris does sound great though

🚨new paper alert!🚨 we've long been thinking about how to improve water mgmt in the #CORiverBasin. Check out our paper with Antonia Hadjimichael & Water Programming on an informal leasing approach to do so that could have⬆️benefits to CO by $222M btwn 1950-2013 tinyurl.com/4vu2a6s4

Really great write up on drought+hydropower from The New York Times' Climate Forward newsletter -- I think about how we need both risk mitigation for EXISTING hydro but also a lot of risk reduction/grid diversification away from hydro alllllll the time nytimes.com/2024/06/04/cli…

my final side quest is complete, now all I have left to do is my actual dissertation work 😉lots of lessons learned from this project, which was borne out of my MS thesis. Clearly Center on Financial Risk in Environmental Systems has given me opportunities and collaborators to study far more than hydropower!
