I found his reaction inspiring. My heart filled with hope from seeing this man so effectively standing up for his community.

This new paper led by the excellent Erin Tattersall is well worth a read

Let’s hope more States do this for their citizens Screw Donald Trump & his Parasite Class (=1%) buddies

Urban planning success story. It can be done!

The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Yep. We are flying blind toward many disasters

Stop using MAXENT for invasive niche modeling. Instead embrace mechanisms. Check out this great review on mechanistic niche models for invasives from ‪@erolafenollosa.bsky.social‬ in ‪@ecography.bsky.social‬ 🌐 #ecology #invasivespecies nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I’m teaching a class in which my students learn how to put together a research proposal. I was wondering if any of you have any successful proposals that wouldn’t mind sharing with me so I can use it as an example in class? It doesn’t matter what year they were approved or where. Thank you!! 🌎🗺️🌍

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Urban green spaces can support both biodiversity & human wellbeing—but we need coordinated, place-based research across cities to inform effective, equitable policy. 📄 Read more: doi.org/10.1093/bios... 🌍 #UrbanWildlife #UrbanBiodiversity #conservation 🌐🧪🌱

Our framework posits that human-wildlife interactions affect human health, and these health risks and benefits inform how humans respond and manage wildlife. These actions can affect wildlife health, affecting future rates of HWI. All in the context of environmental health and resource availability

Someone made this list of the reps that are publicly on the fence. Call these ones, even if they are not in your district!

Read about how Abrego Garcia was treated at CECOT. A Frigging horror story of abuse. www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

Communities need to start a pool, buy all the Meal team six shit off Amazon, all the fake ice shit, the masks etc, then go out and intervene. Cause confusion, create fog and friction, find the opportunity and rush in and rescue the innocent being kidnapped then retreat with high point coverage.

Godspeed to the ~800 probationary NOAA employees who filed a class-action lawsuit on Monday after being unjustly terminated months ago. These are real people, not numbers—scientists, public servants, dedicated workers. They didn’t deserve this ruthless attack on their careers & livelihoods.

But there's a human administrator/bureaucrat somewhere with authority whose job is to disburse those funds and instead they're following an illegal order by not sending it through. We need the federal bureaucrats to stop enabling this nonsense and follow the law.

Drop off 2024 vs 2016 👀

Tom Tillis was against Medicaid cuts, so Trump is threatening to primary him. www.politico.com/live-updates...

It’s a scam. The budget bill is a shell game we will lose.

It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below. prospect.org/politics/202...

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

Call your reps, get in your community, talk about American science.

We won our case against the NIH after a judge found the administration's research funding cuts to be discriminatory and illegal. With this win, we are putting our country back on track in its fight against Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other devastating diseases.

Disastrous

From a good friend inside law enforcement here in Los Angeles. They’re not happy that years spent building community trust are being wiped out by ICE. Call 911! It will create a record and more importantly, it lays the groundwork for a civil lawsuit. It will also force ICE to comply with the LAW.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It’s 110 degrees (43 C) in the desert today 🥵. My bird fountain has been filled with finches and hummingbirds all day. I put some shallow pans around the yard with extra water too, which is something cheap & simple you can do to help wildlife!

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Yes! I heard some people haven’t signed because they aren’t a scientist or academic. But this is about all of us. If you are against harming research participants, sign! If you want more life-saving treatments, sign! If you value free speech, sign!
