I just started a new job at Climate Corporation and it has been interesting seeing the other side of the "Monsanto is the devil" story. Also, David Friedberg is so smart and impressive.

What are you doing there? As an environmental scientist/economist who loves working with data-driven projects, that company always really intrigued me.

One of our products is advice tools for farmers. The free version gives information about historical and predicted weather over a very precise area - farmers can select their exact fields from a map and get information via web, apps, or email. You can sign up and choose whatever land you want to monitor: http://www.climate.com/products/climate-basic/

The paid product takes more inputs from the farmer (crops, planting information, etc) and gives recommendations based on crop, weather, soil, and hydrology models specific to those crops, land, and planting. More details here: http://www.climate.com/products/climate-pro/

Oh yeah, I know what the company is, that's why I find it interesting. I was curious what you, personally, were working on.

Oh, I'm working on the services to move data from the science and models to the web and mobile apps.
