Unexpected lovely experience at #xoxofest: I’ve worked in climate full time for the last few years, and in health and bioinformatics for many years before that, and I got to share those experiences with very competent, interested people and encourage them to join in themselves.
There are lots of wonderful climate scientists, doctors, and researchers. They’re hungry to work with good tech people to build new and better tools. You don’t need any domain knowledge; your tech skills alone are enough. Jump in, the water’s fine, we need your help!
Look forward to hearing more about this work.
20 years ago I wrote NEPA challenges to the US forest service use of IR images for post-fire salvage [sic] sales because their models were awful and they cut live old growth.
I’d like to know how things have progressed.
