The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

Congrats! Nice to be getting such good news in this day and age

Layoff notices at JPL are going out today. About 11% of the Lab, or 550 people, are being let go. I'm thinking of my friends and colleagues there, some of whom will still be employed after today and some of whom won't. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

"Make cities safe and fun for kids to run around and play in" is a pretty good guiding light for urban planning

A perfect illustration of which "lifestyle" actually imposes itself on public space, public safety, and the public purse.

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

I found this history fascinating, especially how the US under Bush I a) pushed to create the IPCC to center government representatives, not scientists, in UN climate action; b) used the IPCC to block binding emission targets and carbon taxes on rich countries, which seemed imminent in 1988.

BIG: A new executive order changes fundamentally how the U.S. awards research grants, giving oversight to political appointees in coordination with OMB. All new grant opportunities are paused until these appointees are in place. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The anti-science Trumpers may be planning to destroy two working satellites that provide vital measurements about carbon dioxide & climate (and data that forecasts crop yield, drought conditions, & more). They cost $750 million to make but only $15 million/yr to operate. www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...

As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc

🧵 I think artists need to look at the world with fresh eyes & experience the excitement like a small child. This is my nephew & me admiring a Picasso. It’s this fascination that I find so inspiring. As you can see in this thread my art is about vibrancy, excitement & joy! [1]

🚨 NOAA's climate.gov, a repository of reliable data on the world's climate and the effects, may be in its final days. The site's dashboards and data are critical for farmers, businesses, and homeowners alike. CCS's @ccbaxter.bsky.social and Noah Fritzhand explain in detail what could be lost:

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

After many years of direct and collaborative involvement in working towards implementing a new CTD sensor on Argo floats, it is very satisfying to finally see it (officially) come to fruition. 🌊🧪

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...

This is not a science budget. This is a massacre. thebridge.agu.org/2025/05/05/t...

Well, fuck! Just got a message from my university that we can no longer spend money on our NSF-funded grants. This is as good as having the grants taken away from us.

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Last week I was playing around with a new "tree ring plot" to visualize daily global temperature anomalies from ERA5. I thought it would be neat to make a version of the plot for daily global absolute temperatures (rather than anomalies):

Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed by it all, nature can always be relied on to provide profound hope, beauty, meaning, and joy. If you're actively helping nature through rewilding, those benefits are right off the charts. 🌍

NOAA, the agency with ocean scientists who are the most concerned about deep seabed mining's environmental impacts, just promoted the Trump admin's deep seabed mining Executive Order in a news release. www.noaa.gov/news-release...

"The possible elimination of the lab, called GFDL, in concert with potential cuts to other NOAA operations, threatens irreparable harm not only to global understanding of climate change and long-range scenarios for the planet but to the country’s safety, competitiveness and national security."

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.
