I am delighted to announce that I will be joining Harvard Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (@hseas) as an Assistant Professor in June 2019!
If you are interested in pursuing a PhD or postdoc on large-scale fluid dynamics and transport process and how these influence climate, please get in touch! My contact information and publications are on my website (mlinz.scripts.mit.edu/mlinz/).
I am excited to support diverse scientists both within my own group, within these departments, and beyond. I have budgeted additional funds for travel to @sacnas and @NABGSocial conferences, for example, and I welcome your suggestions on how I can best support you.
I also value #neurodiversity. As #ADHD myself, @HowtoADHD and that community have been of inestimable value to me, helping me recognize my strengths. Without my impulsivity and my resilience, I would not be where I am today. #breakthestigma#chronicallyacademic
Outreach is important to me, and I hope to follow the example of @CDLS_UCLA and @ClumpedIsotopes in promoting these activities. Please help support my current outreach project, which is a partnership with @SCFG, by backing my Kickstarter! kck.st/2MJJgto

I am going to share the story of her illness in the hope that it helps someone. She was a doctor and always wanted to help people. If this informs anyone else’s behavior or care, maybe she still can. Please RT. 1/n
She got it in the waiting room at a doctor's office. Everyone wore masks, but it was a small indoor space and while masks help, limiting time in the same space with others is the best way to not get COVID. 2/n
Why they had people waiting in the waiting room for an hour is unknown. I assume if she’d known how long the wait was going to be, she’d have waited in the car. 3/n
This paper is the first look at the impact of turning down the sun by 1% on tropical cyclones in a model that does well in capturing current cyclone statistics. I quite like this work. However, it is NOT testing which regions would be made worse off by solar geoengineering.
Stratospheric dynamics are complex, and uniformly decreasing the incoming solar radiation isn't possible (at least given current knowledge and observing systems). When you frame this as solar geoengineering, you get more attention
but you also get inane statements like "When used with other tools, solar geoengineering could halve global temperature increases, says new research from SEAS." (Harvard Gazette, 3/12/19) That is not a new result.
