Does anyone under 18 know about the Artemis II launch? None of my kids heard about it from teachers, friends, or social media channels (gasp).

come stop by my poster (ThP304) to learn about how we hacked an RGA to measure trace atmospheric species using low cost RF oscillator circuits!

"People will not lose their Medicaid if they can overcome an impossible obstacle course of administrative burdens we are imposing precisely because we know people can't overcome them" - would be more accurate, but less catchy. 🧵

Yesterday, I confidently had my kids ride the school bus during a tornado watch. Why? Because NOAA scientists create realtime products that allow us to evaluate severe weather. I can't imagine a world where AI generates products I trust more than this.

Shout out to the disabled community for always showing up, always being on the right side of history and justice, always willing to put their bodies on the line, all for the cause of making sure *everyone* has the basic dignity of health care.

Got mine today as well. Apparently, studying air quality is "no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities."

This is truly misguided. How about going after dental floss manufacturers that produce floss that is upwards of 25% PFAS that kids rub all over their teeth every day?

Big (bad) news: the US Embassy air monitoring program webpage has been taken down:
www.airnow.gov/internationa...
This erases ~17 years of a critical data source at ~80 US diplomatic posts around the world. Critically for the health of thousands of foreign services officers, critical for research..

Most people are not political scientists using formal definitions. So I am curious when is the moment that people tell themselves "oh, I live under an authoritarian government now." Because what else is this?

NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it
NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.
