Democratic lawmakers in California want the state to restore funding for scientific research that has been slashed by the Trump administration, creating an ambitious plan to use tens of billions of dollars in voter-approved bonds to fill the void.

The short version of this Is racial considerations for college admissions bad, while racial considerations in immigration arrests good. Trying to simplify this as much as possible for MAGA supporters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

An ice cream scientist (yep, that’s a thing) studies the microstructure of our frozen treat to understand how tweaking certain ingredients might control the way it melts. 🍦 Dig into some of our favorite ice cream science stories: buff.ly/0P4F7ol

Latino Conservation Week is coming up soon. Use the opportunity to learn about how Latino/a/x communities are working in the conservation space. latinoconservationweek.com

Last week the drone pilots in my lab captured this image (photo 1) of a large sea lion haul out @ San Carlos Beach in Monterey during our monthly surveys. Last year (photo 2) a large sea lion haul out was seen at the same beach. This might be turning into a new haul out site. @uwsafs.bsky.social

Science research gets more engagement on Bluesky than X, study finds | Bluesky | The Guardian | This quotes me

@uwenvironment.bsky.social will expand its work related to climate solutions thanks to a grant announced today from Fund for Science and Technology, a new foundation within the Paul G. Allen philanthropic ecosystem.

It was always clear this administration has a disdain for Hispanic/Latino/a communities. I’ll always be perplexed by those in the Hispanic/Latino/a community who voted to inflict this type of injury on their communities. History will judge them poorly. spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/pol...

We are recruiting near peer mentors for the Valiant program. We seek one 4th year undergrad & one grad student to serve as mentors. Financial compensation provided. See the link below to learn more & apply. @uwsafs.bsky.social @uwenvironment.bsky.social uwashington.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Being a graduate of a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) this one hits close to home. This new ruling would halt current federal funding to under-resourced institutions that are educating an ever growing population that wants to make positive contributions. apnews.com/article/hisp...

A good point & one I bring up in my drone talks. Not being able to SCUBA doesn’t preclude one from being a marine scientist. Some of the first drone pilots in my lab were individuals who couldn’t dive due to medical conditions. We need to highlight the different ways of being a marine scientist.
