A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile removed by employer Indiana University, & had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

3. How can I help? Here is our hot take: 1) Engage in the political process by expressing your opinions loudly and often. 2) Form your trusted communities, establish safe ways to communicate and coordinate; 3) Resist. However feels right to you, to the degree you are comfortable.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story:

Remember this when you see losers arguing for eugenics (that suffering people have “bad genes” that must be stamped out): while genetic variation impacts human health, it is much more dependent on our access to good nutrition, safe neighborhoods, clean air and water, living wages…

There is an entire DOGE Congressional committee, but Congress has yet to hold a single hearing about DOGE that puts a single DOGE rep under oath to explain what they are up to. They are aiding and abetting.

Here is a sample follow-up email I just wrote that might be useful for researchers contacting their legislators about the removal of the no cost extension form from eRA commons. Use/share/adapt freely. My gut says this one is a winnable fight, and house offices are picking up the phones for me.
