When I leave this mortal coil,
I hope it is said
that I gave instead of took,
that I taught instead of told,
that I shared instead of stole,
that I laughed and loved
and inspired the same in others.
The world is a little less today
with the passing of Dolly and Tim.
But I hope you prefer, as I do
to think of the richness they brought
to the world while they were in it.
We are all better because of their
kindness, determination, and spirit.
Let’s all do the time warp
because we’re working 9-5
again
on tonight’s episode of
This Week in Science.

The Interview!
Daniel Swain is a weather and climate scientist focused on the dynamics and impacts of extreme events—including droughts, floods, storms, and wildfires—on a warming planet. His primary appointment is as a climate scientist (Associate Researcher) in the California Institute for Water Resources within the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR), and he has been a longtime research partner at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research. He’s a fellow University of California, Davis graduate, got his PhD at Stanford University (Ph.D., Earth System Science), and completed his postdoctoral work at UCLA. He also authors the widely-read Weather West blog (weatherwest.com), which provides real-time perspectives on California weather and climate, and can be found as #WeatherWest on YouTube and Bluesky.
This is a fun and fascinating interview you’ll want to listen to again and again!
