Faute de quoi, nous dériverons comme un bateau sans gouvernail.

Proud & Impassioned, #Biden Passes The Torch At The #DNC
In a valedictory speech in #Chicago, the President mapped his #legacy & asked to be remembered as a man who pulled the country from the maw of #tragedy—from the #perils of #covid, of #Trump, of total paralysis in Washington.… His is an unfinished story— not yet a redemption. But, on this evening, he wound down his speech w/a favorite lyric, by Gene Scheer: “America, I gave my best to you.”

About me: I'm a graduate research assistant at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My full bio is linked up above, but basically I study QLCS tornadogenesis using radar, satellite, and numerical modeling. Additionally, I get to work with the FARM instrumentation (i.e. the DOWS/COW), specifically on the #PERiLS project. I'm also active in a few AMS committees/boards and in our department's DEI efforts. Looking forward to some great convos here 😁
