The Trump administration’s proposed FY26 budget for NOAA would eliminate climate research at NOAA. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

It is difficult to describe just how disastrous it would be if just-released NOAA budget proposal (or even large portions) were to be enacted: It would involve a wholesale dismantling (decimation, really) of entities relevant to weather, climate, & ocean research & prediction.

wildlife.cornell.edu/blog/my-rhin... If we believe that the way things are now is how they have always been, we lose the ability to imagine a return to previous abundance.

Cost estimate of the House-passed "Big Beautiful Bill" is out It'd be the largest cut to Medicaid+CHIP and SNAP in history while still increasing deficits by $2.4 trillion due to $3.8 trillion in tax cuts This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

I know a lot of folks are currently looking for jobs, so this is a timely new position w/@ucanr.bsky.social & UCSD! General role is environment-focused data science, but specific topical focus could be anything from sustainable ag to wildfire risk. More details: recruit.ucanr.edu/JP...

Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.

Kudos to these scientists for sharing! I only just received an ADHD diagnosis, but looking back on my PhD, how could I not have known? I constantly procrastinated & then panic-finished analyses and writing in record time, all while fighting my brain to focus every single day. Exhausting.

As if “the economy” is separate from the clear need, including the ECONOMIC need, to address the #ClimateCrisis. This “false choice” framing is the most moronic argument an awful politician could make, and shame on any of us for falling for it. The massive costs of INACTION are already inescapable.

AWESOME work by some incredible scientists. Papers like these that investigate how we think about and conduct our science are so important. Read, read, read it! Congrats to my grad school labmate Ren, @leafwarbler.bsky.social, and coauthors :)

Republicans are trying to take away and criminalize the right to make decisions around our own health, whether that’s the right to wear a mask or the right to have an abortion. Unacceptable.

Spring ephemeral roundup - 1 Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) - 2 Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) - 3 Yellow Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) - 4 White Trillium (Trillium Grandiflorum). Did you know that bloodroot seeds are ant-dispersed (myrmecochory)? I love their clasping leaves.

WOW I had never even considered the importance of headers in this way. Now we know!

Accomplishing something big like a PhD doesn't often end like you planned. Many discovered this during the pandemic, and I discovered it after an ER visit screwed up my defense plans. idk who needs to hear this, but: It might not end how you envisioned, but you did the thing, and that's enough. :)

I read two of the shoulda-been Hugo nominees who got McCarty’d out of their rightful spots: Upstart by Lu Ban clarkesworldmagazine.com/lu_12_22/ And Hummingbird, Resting on Honeysuckles, by Yang Wanqing clarkesworldmagazine.com/yang_11_22/ And now I want a Book Club to TALK ABOUT THESE.

Absolutely this, and likewise block the "oh well, it's too late to do anything" crowd. Climate change is a dial, not a switch. Everything we do to turn down the ppm on atmospheric CO2 is a win that will save lives.

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter. Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪 www.southernfriedscience.com/bluesky-is-n...

Ooooh. This is good.

"Convincing the mind to prioritize access instead of as an afterthought is powerful shit." Because of Bluesky, I started to retrain myself starting with photos since I post lots of food pics. Before, adding ALT text was afterthought. Now it's the 1st thing I do, and I do it on all social platforms.

We are wiping from the world, species that have evolved for millions of years. Once they're gone they're gone forever, never to return. And for what? There is no crime or sin greater in the history of humanity than what we're doing to the planet's biosphere.
