#CloudLab
My research group at the University of Utah runs CloudLab. I agree: CloudLab is the type of thing that needs to be in the world more! Thank you to the "Fork Around and Find Out" team for mentioning the work we do.

Prepping for my resin 3D printer!

Due to the dangers (and smell) of resin, I've invested in a grow tent that can trap and purify airborne chemicals using a big carbon filter. I'm also getting plenty of PPE.

At this point I'm just waiting for the printer to arrive.

CLOUDLAB: Cloud research in a natural laboratory
It’s murky grey, windy, and freezing when we head out into the countryside of the Swiss pre-Alps. We are looking for low hanging clouds to serve as our natural laboratory. Wintertime low stratus cloud...
