Have you noticed our ozone garden at the Mesa Lab? It’s both beautiful & beneficial for scientists, BEElieve it or not! 🐝 The garden has bioindicators, or plants that are sensitive to ground-level ozone & indicate air quality. scied.ucar.edu/exhibits/air-q…

Due to the #LakeShoreFire, the NSF NCAR Mesa Lab campus and the road to the building are CLOSED to staff and the public as of 5 p.m. today (Wed, July 31) until further notice. We are monitoring the situation and will provide updates. Follow Boulder Office of Disaster Management for wildfire updates. #COwx

Because roads are back open and evacuation orders have been lifted for the #LakeShoreFire, the Mesa Lab and road will reopen tomorrow (Aug. 2) to staff and the public. Many thanks to firefighters and emergency responders that quickly and safely managed the #wildfire. #COFire

Woah 🤩, another summer research poster presentation — I'm really excited to share more about it❗️This time I presented on the User Experience (UX) of Advanced 3D Data Visualization Software, which I have been working on with the NSF NCAR Computational and Information Systems Lab at NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research.
