Richard Lindzen
Richard Siegmund Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and books. From 1983 until his retirement in 2013, he was Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Third Assessment Report on climate change. He has criticized the scientific consensus about climate change and what he has called "climate alarmism."
Lindsay Whalen
Whalen wanted to retire in March 2018 but stayed on after a four-hour telephone conversation with Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve. She earned the head coaching job at the university in April, so her dual responsibilities resulted in a season that "The New York Times" called juggling and "emotional whiplash." In August 2018, she announced she would retire from playing professional basketball after the completion of the 2018 season. The Lynx finished as the number 7 seed in the league with an 18-16 record, making it the first time in 8 years where they didn't finish as a top 2 seed. They faced the rival Los Angeles Sparks in the first round elimination game. This would be Whalen's final game as the Lynx were defeated 75-68; she scored 9 points in the loss.
