NHC Advisory 1 for Tropical Depression 14 had landfall only 12 miles north of where Milton eventually made landfall, at a 4-day lead time. One might say they're pretty good at their jobs.

Great interview by @JoshBVT with @LHDnets talking about npj Complexity, the new journal he is editing, for "great papers that make an impact but are having a hard time getting published because they're weird" uvm.edu/news/story/honeybees…

We won a thing: “Best Paper Engaged in Quantitative Description on an Under-studied Phenomenon” from @journalqd Here’s the original thread on the paper (where we kind of ‘discovered’ that BTS and K-pop were taking over). Fandoms matter and fandoms are everywhere.

We're hiring!!! Looking for 3 postdocs & 6 GRAs in support of our Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS) grant. 🐙 Please share 🐙 uvm.edu/socks/#jobs
Vermont EPSCoR's Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS) research team is currently recruiting six prospective Ph.D. students for Graduate Research Assistantships and three prospective Postdoctoral Associates based at the University of Vermont (UVM) to begin in Fall 2024. SOCKS is a large, multi-disciplinary effort funded by the National Science Foundation, that revolves around stories as an essential part of how people comprehend, explain, predict, and seek to navigate the world. SOCKS supports the Digital Humanities by developing a powerful approach to quantifying both individual stories and ecologies of stories through massive data collection, natural language processing, and large language models-computer-based encodings of the meaningful connections between words and phrases.

Easy to get so caught up in arguments about how immoral and illegal collective punishment is that we lose sight of how completely ineffective it can be as well
