Apart from some biographic metadata, here are the two main questions of the form, along with me responses:

Your Story (100-300 words or so. Anything you want to say about flying less. For example, what challenges have you faced? If you still fly, why? What do you like about flying less? How can it help shift the culture?)

I have abandoned flights to destinations where I would spend less than a month. For such short-term engagements, I am now using exclusively surface transportation or remote modalities. Regardless of my way of attending, I try to document the events along with my associated thoughts and observations as best I can in public, and if I am giving a talk or poster, a version of it is openly available online before the start of the presentation.

Through open science workflows all around the research cycle - from ideas onwards - I am interacting with collaborators from around the world on a daily basis, with new interactions forming regularly simply by being visible online. Two decades of remote collaboration have not tainted my appreciation for in-person interactions, yet I am focusing them on those people and groups that are within reach of surface transportation.

With my family spread across three continents and the current state of remote technologies, I am not yet ready to abandon flights altogether. For 2019, my planned flight total is 1, and about halfway in as I am writing this, I am on track.

Short research or work bio (1-4 sentences, not a list of publications)

  • trained in experimental biophysics, with excursions into maths, medicine and Central Asian studies
  • PhD in physics on non-invasive imaging of fossils and other biological materials with very little liquid water
  • now in data science, working on integrating research workflows with the open parts of the web to enable sharing and collaboration at scale
  • volunteer for Wikipedia, Wikidata, OpenStreetMap and related projects

My bio should show up under

in "a few weeks" and hopefully earlier.

My entry has been briefly available at
https://noflyclimatesci.org/biographies/daniel-mietchen
as well as via
https://noflyclimatesci.org/biographies?categories=other_academic
but both pages seem broken now.
