Congrats to AWRA 2023 Award Winners! Some are listed below. Check out Clint Smith.Steve Burges is a good friend and one of the sharpest knives in the drawer when it comes to hydrology and water resources.
As for the ones below, I'm sure Don Duke is involved at FGCU and the Alaska Section has outstanding members like Michael Lilly.
Enjoy!

Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN). With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Personal, People, Interviews, and Quote
"Tell my soldiers what they really fight for and the ranks would be empty in the morning." - Frederick the Great
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” - George Orwell, 1984
"It’s OK if it’s bad, it just can’t look bad." - @ass_deans
"True heroism serves the common good, or it is not really heroism at all." - Richard Rohr
"The history of civilization is largely the history of weapons." - @GeorgeOrwellTM (quoted in @guardian via @TheWeek
"We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” - George Orwell
Quote of the Day (8/3/23) - “What we do, in a very handwavy manner, is subtract infinity. That’s the physicist’s way, in the quantum field theory, of ignoring this puzzle.” (1/2)
Quote of the Day: Physicist Isabel Garcia Garcia explains how researchers grapple with a problem called the ‘vacuum catastrophe’. According to quantum field theory, the energy of empty space should be infinite, or at least very large. In reality, it clearly isn’t. (2/2)
Quote of the Day (8/2/23): “Commodification of nature in the name of conservation seems problematic to me. These solutions are part of the same framework that put us in the crisis we are facing.” (1/2)
Marine ecologist Anaëlle Durfort says that putting a carbon price on whales isn’t the solution to protecting them. More transformative changes are needed if we want to ensure that human activity doesn’t further erode the giant animals’ role as carbon pumps, she suggests. (2/2)
Quote of the Day (8/1/23) - “My very first reaction to knowing that the tenure was really going to happen was grief, because I was part of a cohort. I’m the only one who will probably get tenure in our lifetime.” (1/2)
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein says she felt both relief and sorrow when she became the first Black woman in the United States to earn tenure in cosmology. (2/2)
"I didn’t say your work didn’t matter. I said it didn’t matter to very many people or in ways that changed anyone’s life. So, keep it up! You are great at it (whatever 'it' is)." - @ass_deans
Quote of the Day (7/31/23) “It is, in principle, possible to stop life for more or less an indefinite time and then restart it.” from @nytimes (1/2)
Biologist Teymuras Kurzchalia and his team revived two tiny roundworms that had been frozen in the Siberian permafrost for 46,000 years. The worms seem to have survived by entering a dormant state called cryptobiosis. (2/2)
Quote of the Day (8/4/23) - “The marvellous structures and functions of animals, the demonstration that all animals are evolved branches of one common tree… lead one to recognize and respect the rights of others.” (1/2)
Pioneering 1800s zoologist Charles H. Turner viewed his work on animal behavior as to understand the connections between all living things. His seminal research into cognition of bees & spiders,conducted in a shed behind his house,was largely forgotten after his 1923 death (2/2)
“To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.” - Nicolaus Copernicus

Today's Tunes
Today's Tune - 4 August 2023. One of the @SIRIUSXM DJs said that 'Slow Ride' by @FOGHAT is the best hard rock tune EVER! I'll pass for now. But it is awesome! youtu.be/DfwsXn5n8HU #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 3 August 2023. 'The Boys Are Back In Town'. Talk about a hard-rock Irish band - Thin Lizzy! Phil Lynott - bassist-songwriter-singer-founding member - left us too early in 1986 at age 36. He's rockin' somewhere... youtu.be/Ta3YkTdIQqE #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 2 August 2023. We're supposed to have a 'Blue Moon' (two full moons in one month) at the end of August 2023. I'm starting early. Here are The Marcels (1961) with the Rodgers and Hart 'Blue Moon'. Love this version! youtu.be/tEgHXiKxhsE #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 1 August 2023. First tune I heard today ( @SiriusXM7). Dynamite live version of 'Hold The Line' by Toto. Lee Sklar on bass - he's tops. These guys get better with age - this performance dates from 2007 (Paris?) youtu.be/tU948kPVY0s #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 31 July 2023. An anti-war song from The Bob Seger System: '2 + 2 =?'. I first heard this in the late 60s & started playing it on my @WCWM show. Not big with the Greek crowd. Been a big Seger fan ever since. Bless you, Bob! youtu.be/jpjAbZhtMgE #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 30 July 2023. 'Psychotic Reaction' was a great 1960s tune from The Count Five: youtu.be/oy82j-qgZf0 #aquadocaudio Here's a version by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: youtu.be/KxhzYDN9D1A #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 29 July 2023. Part Southern boy (thanks-my NC mother) & I love ARS! Heard them in early 80s while in Atlanta. Great talent: Barry Bailey (lead),Paul Goddard (bass),J.R. Cobb (rhythm), Dean Daughtry (keyboards); R. Nix (drums) youtu.be/cMAo0m4E4Lc #aquadocaudio
