This vendor exhibited a camera that can take 100,000 frames per second, other vendors had demonstrations where you could see individual droplets in a shower.
The recording of the 2024 Sue and Harry Bovay Lecture in the History & Ethics of Engineering is now live!
Jon Leydens (Colorado School of Mines) spoke about social context & public welfare in engineering curricula and how we can better include these topics in engineering education.
I will be:
-Announcing that I'm quitting my job in #Climate comms due to what seems like retaliation from management for calling them out on hypocrisy a few weeks ago
Publicly challenging #Cornell's attempt to fuck up our city's energy code to preserve #FossilFuel infrastructure
Recommending to the City of #Ithaca that they approve the Justice50 provision that would benefit disadvantaged communities for many years to come.
See page four of this document to find #Cornell's sneaky language that aims to give a longer lifeline to #fossilfuels
This is a recommendation from the increasingly reactionary institution to change the city building code-- it will help us fail at our #Climate commitments
I wrote this column in a local paper for my job in #Climate comms & the higher-ups got mad about it.
See if you can figure out why.
In a kafkaesque experience, when the executive director & issue leader called me in, I asked them what about the article was a problem & they sat there for minutes looking at this short article trying to figure out what had upset them.
I'm quitting.
I work at #Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County, a dysfunctional piece of shit.
Last year, Ithacans tried to pressure public officials to get #Cornell to pay more in lieu of taxes, because Cornell owns a huge amount of the property value in Ithaca.
This year, property taxes jumped an average of 20%, meaning homeowners and renters will be cost burdened.
Cornell directly drives gentrification and harms the community it's in. I hope prospective students understand this.
"If Cornell University and Ithaca College paid taxes on all their properties, the property tax for an average house in Ithaca would drop between 40-45%."
Instead, our elected officials (all of them except one) stopped fighting for us, and next year, both renters and homeowners will eat the cost, and struggle to pay bills as we all subsidize #Cornell University, which has a $10bn endowment.
I saw this view out the window of the bus this morning so I pulled the cord and got off at the next stop to run back and take this picture of Cornell's Vet School walking back to work I realized the light was special because the building was backlit with the sun behind a small cloud
#CfP for the #conference "Vladimir #Nabokov, or Education Without Borders", which will take place at Cornell University (#Cornell) on October 31 - November 2, 2024.
