My main intellectual interests are
how people use information to make decisions
how people use languages to present and to learn information
climate change as a broadly encompassing instance of #1 and #2
geophysics and geophysics modeling to inform #3.
This all seems coherent to me, though to others it sometimes seems like I’m all over the place.
I am pleased to have discovered Python, which plays a role all four pursuits.
I have met an amazing array of amazing people since becoming involved in the Python community. I consider both the language and the community a beacon of hope in gloomy times.
