Matthew Memoli, a middling researcher at NIH, criticized COVID vaccine mandates and DEI, and was chosen by Trump to dismantle NIH. Memoli becomes NIH’s principal deputy director and awards himself and close collaborator Jeffery Taubenberger up to $500 million for in-house vaccine research. Cool.

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...

PGC have been vital in processing and providing satellite imagery, digital elevation models, maps and other geospatial data to scientists for decades. Polar science needs this work to continue. #saveNSF #withoutNSF 🧪

A study, using our climate model MAR, lead by my colleague Brice Noel (FNRS) and published in Nature Communications, links the rapid mass loss of Patagonian glaciers to a poleward shift of subtropical high-pressure systems. www.sciences.uliege.be/cms/c_134669...

As the UK went into lockdown 5 years ago today, I went into a deserted London to start radiation ☢️ therapy for HPV related head & neck cancer. I had to wear this extremely tight fitting mask for 15 mins every day for 7 weeks. The saga still goes on… #cancersky #hpvcancer #fuckcancer

A very nice statement from EGU outlining the union's commitment to diversity and the actions and initiatives they've taken in support of equality, diversity and inclusion. It's a nice long list when you write it all out! www.egu.eu/news/1259/eg...

Winter subglacial meltwater detected in a Greenland fjord The results suggest that warm Atlantic water and nutrients are entrained at the glacier front, leading to enhanced frontal melt and increased nutrient levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My colleague Vivi Pedersen and I are teaching our summer course again! Climate Change: Cross-disciplinary Challenges and Solutions This Masters level course is 5 ECTS and the deadline for application to soak up the summer sun at @au.dk is on March 18th. ☀️ international.au.dk/education/ad...

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

Last day of #lgbtqhistorymonth, yet at home & abroad we’re still fighting for our rights, rights that are being rolled back at terrifying speed. I’m wearing a pink triangle even when I was 20, fighting for lgbtq rights 40 years ago. The fight is all of ours 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #lgbtq

Teamwork, equality, and respect sorely missing today. Saddened by all the division. Remembering fondly our science colleagues in Cuba and what they taught me about working together as a team no matter our differences. Here's a short reflection from 2020.🧪💙📚 www.science.org/content/arti...

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’ve been adding slowly to my #Quaternary science starter pack but aware lots have joined since I made it. It is (not accidentally) biased toward female scientists, so in case you need to diversify your follows, take a look! Keep sending suggestions - I’m happy to add you/them. go.bsky.app/71XJ4jH

Two weeks left to apply to this very exciting (if I do so say myself) PhD position with Professor Mads Knudsen and me at @aarhusuni.bsky.social!

Not seeing a lot of discussion about this. Some researchers have estimated the Glen's flow law exponent n as ~ 1 rather than 3-4 for temperate ice. This could mean that the world's most critical glaciers are linear-viscous are their base. 🥼❄️ ⚒️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nice paper out resulting from our joint @ljmuofficial.bsky.social and @scsu.bsky.social fieldtrip to Iceland. We explored the benefits of a joint fieldtrip, the issues, and advice if you want to make one happen! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
