#COP28 response: Despite weeks of effort and a public call to action from >1000 scientists, there remains only 1 direct ref to #Cryosphere in new GST text, with no connection to urgency, implications of intensifying changes observed today or their long-term impacts (1/n)

Received shocking news from @uniinnsbruck during(!) my Antarctic expedition: Despite having secured funding, I'm barred from working at the university soon. Heartless timing, and it jeopardizes scientific career. No lab access = no sample processing or publishing. Plz RT this 🧵
Replying to @Kweisleitner
On top of this, back home in Austria, I'm fighting another storm: the uncertainty of young researchers' job security. Unsure if I can even analyze my own Antarctic samples. No word since weeks from @uniinnsbruck. Feels like being left out in the cold. ❄️💔 #notfun @AustrianPolar

Every increase in temperature matters when it comes to saving our glaciers and reducing the resulting impacts with sea-level rise, water resources, tourism, culture, and more. Our actions as a global society can thus make a huge difference: thesciencebreaker.org/breaks…

We had many sponsors, but also countless hours or unpaid, voluntary work going in this release. If you can, consider contributing some of your time to make the next release of RGI even better: glims.org/rgi_user_guide/app…

RGI 7.0 is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Graham Cogley (1948-2018). I met him when I was a post-doc, and thanks to him I became passionate about the RGI and the importance of collaborative work for a better world.

#Train2EGU with a view! Mixed feelings of excitement and sadness this time: Last time with Innsbruck as departure city! Next year will be a looutreachnger trip 😉 Last tweet on this platform for a while (ever?). I hate what it became and I will try other things for #SciComm...

Of course I won't pay for Blue to edit the horrible typo: it will be a *longer* trip of course 😉

#Programming #Teachers in the room! I do open book exams for my programming classes (googling allowed), and I'm keen on allowing #ChatGPT as well for my *advanced* class exam, but I want to forbid its use for my beginner class (reasons below). What are your thoughts on this?
41% Allow ChatGPT in exams
59% No ChatGPT in exams

Why I don't think I can allow it for beginner exams: beginner exams are typically questions that ChatGPT answers out-of-the-box. E.g. "filter that list according to this criteria", "write a function for the Taylor..." etc. I just cant think of a question that cannot be answered

New week-long #cryosphere series by @NPR: “If we take strong action to reduce climate change and to rein in greenhouse gasses, we can preserve the vast majority [of ice]...for thousands of years" @twilamoon ❄️ @NSIDC @WWF_Arctic @DusikJan @HeidiSevestre @FabClimate @JD_Kirkham
Absolutely fantastic NPR series on #MeltingIce this week, here's the first drop: npr.org/2023/04/17/116998774…
