Science is facing one of its most challenging moments. There's never been a more important time to understand the current state of federal science funding—and what’s at risk. Watch AGU’s on-demand webinar to get the full picture. 🎥 buff.ly/AIDUCEi

Hi everyone, Please consider signing this letter in support of EPA’s endangerment finding (essential for EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gases), AGU will submit the letter on September 12th forms.monday.com/forms/5efd54...

The National Science Foundation plans to abruptly end operation of the RV Nathaniel B. Palmer, the sole U.S. research ship capable of braving the farthest reaches of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. scim.ag/4mB8LOX

NOAA to stop tracking cost of climate crisis-fueled disasters: ‘Major loss’ You can’t adapt to what you refuse to measure. Cutting data is not an adaptation strategy; it’s denial www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Even if this doesn't all happen exactly this way, parts of these directives are ruled illegal, the agency is rebuilt some years from now, etc. the damage that has been done (and is being done every day) will be felt for decades.

The National Science Foundation is planning to abolish dozens of divisions. eos.org/research-and...

Hey frens! @agu.org has these great template letters you can send your representaives to ask them to support funding to NSF and NASA. Make sure to quickly personalize it with your name! agu.quorum.us/campaign/121...

AGU is standing up for science in many ways. Join us to meet your U.S. Congressional representatives at our Days of Action in June. Register now: bsky.app/profile/agu.... #AGUDaysofAction

Happening today - we go to court to protect our federal scientific workforce.

Everyone needs to understand that dismantling NSF will have devastating long term consequences in our competitiveness and innovation in science, technology and beyond. 1/

We applaud our amazing science community (and supporters) for taking it to the streets to stand up for science! ✊

Why does science need government funding? What are the impacts to the US of cutting polar science? @zhonggg.bsky.social paints the picture here www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/c...

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

Why we can't put Antarctic funding on ice: Australia’s commitment to Antarctica needs to eliminate repeated short-term funding crises, writes Matt King in (@deformedearth.bsky.social) today's Mercury newspaper. www.themercury.com.au | @utas.edu.au

Hello Danish based #antarctic (or Antarctic-interested) researchers. The 2025 Danish Antarctic Science Seminar (including discussion on #AntarcticaInSync) will take place at DMI on 6th March - all disciplines welcome, sign up deadline Thursday 27th, hybrid with posters welcome too:

DOGE is taking a wrecking ball to load-bearing staff across the federal government. We have a civic duty to counter its rhetoric about “cutting costs.” Our bureaucracy is not a business. Civil servants provide essential services equitably and efficiently, and we owe them our support.

Mostly preaching to the choir here, but a group of us moderators over on Reddit's AskScience put together kind of an explainer for the implications of some of the attacks on science funding and infrastructure in the US if it's useful for anyone else to share:

If you work at Goddard, or Space Telescope Science Institute or similar — and work on anything related to space — I want to talk. As The Baltimore Banner continues to cover changes to the fed. workforce, I'm interested in what it means for the future of astronomy. 🛰️ 🔭

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!) democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

From @paul-bierman.bsky.social on Greenland and geohazards and Trump theconversation.com/greenlands-r...

Please repost this government led survey to get this into every fired government employees hands! 🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

We are outraged to hear that >160 NSF employees were suddenly fired yesterday morning with no notice. If you are directly affected by any of these continuous layoffs/firings please reach out and tell us how the community can best support you during this time www.wired.com/story/nation...

Thanks to the more than *1100* members of the scientific community who have signed the letter to insist that the Royal Society remains true to values that we all hold dear but that Musk FRS has ridden roughshod over. Please keep signing & sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Values aren’t slogans prepared by public relations specialists or negotiated with the government. When you drop diversity you reveal that it was never a core value and you don’t get to claim it again when the government or public sentiment changes.

Aurora Roth and others have drafted a community letter affirming US researcher support for Greenland's self-governance and autonomy. Please consider reading and signing the letter (please use personal email if vulnerable to retaliation!) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

Hello Community! With the whirlwind of awful news wrt DEI, we want to reiterate our mission of being a community center for all those in the cryosphere, and a hub for DEI resources & efforts. We have all decided to continue this work regardless of funding, support, or other actions that may come. ❄️

We are happy to share a new component of the CryoCommunity webpage to encourage connection around fieldwork. The new CryoCommunity Gear Sharing page is a space for individuals seeking fieldwork gear to connect with individuals willing to share gear. cryocommunity.org/gear-sharing/

Hi everyone! CryoCommunity is now on BlueSky! Please share us around so everyone who has switched over to this app can find us! Thank you! ❄️ #glaciology #cryosphere
