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
Quote of the Day (@Nature 9/8/23) - “We do not want to say ‘let those guys pay because they are the polluters’, we are saying, ‘let’s all pay’, and then let’s have a mechanism where we invest these resources where we unlock the biggest value on decarbonization.” (1/2)
Kenyan president @WilliamsRuto and other African leaders at the first African Climate Summit called for the world to rally behind a global carbon tax. (2/2).
"The first job of a new dean is to undue everything the old dean did." - @ass_deans
"To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge." - Confucius
"We appreciate the vote of no confidence. You’ll get our response when renewal letters go out in April." - @ass_deans
Quote of the Day (@Nature 9/7/23) - “Letting beavers permanently colonize denser parts of the city & asking New Yorkers to live in peace with a large rodent - would definitely come with growing pains.” Science writer Ethan Freedman & some blue-sky thinking about rebeavering NYC.
Quote of the Day (@Nature 9/6/23)-“The evidence from science is getting stronger:distributing power between genders creates the kind of world we all need & want to live in.” Gender equality leads to better outcomes across the @UN @SDGs, but not factored into most goals themselves
"We are pleased to announce our first class of ‘Adjunct Emeritus’ faculty. The reception will be held after the ‘new student reception’ with catering provided from the leftovers from the graduate student orientation." - @ass_deans
Quote of the Day (@Nature 9/5/23)-“The throat of a whale is about the size of a grapefruit. Anything that’s larger than that just kind of comes out. Thank goodness for that.” Physical therapist Julie McSorley was watching humpback whales when; kayak capsized; she in whale’s mouth.
"If ignorance is really bliss, humankind should be a heckuva lot happier." - apologies to Ziggy
"We’ve moved all the tenured-faculty travel into a ‘success initiative pool’ for better —sorry— new hires." - @ass_deans
Quote of the Day (via @Nature 9/4/23) - “Sure, they won’t have a word for ‘tree’. And there’s some part of the sperm-whale experience that our primate brain just won’t understand. But those things that we share must be fundamentally important to why we’re here.” (1/2)
Marine biologist Shane Gero co-leads the Cetacean Translation Initiative, which aims to train machine-learning algorithms to reproduce — and maybe even help us understand — the communications of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). (2/2)
"Being stuck at @burningman is not an excuse to cancel classes on Tuesday. And recall, we have an “In Person Only” policy, so no Zooming!" - @ass_deans
"And thou shalt have dominion over all the beasts - except, of course, for cats." - Felines: 12-15.
"Just because it’s a holiday weekend doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be responding to student emails! They have questions about the class they missed and the assignment they didn’t do!" - @ass_deans
