Dear all,
I hope that you are getting outside for walks and stretching! Make a
walk-and-talk appointment with a fellow postdoc to check in on each other.
B.J. Smith (NCAR) shared this list of resources on writing that I wanted to
pass along to you. Looks like some interesting content in there!
Take care of yourself,
Val
