🥼❄️ The next era of Glaciers & Whatnot is coming, starting with an announcement of a new series tomorrow! 👀 For now, please admire the updated logo 👇

Calling it now. Oregon State University is going to be the next victim in Trump's campaign against academia. Hope I'm wrong.

It's here, everyone! A new Glaciers & Whatnot article is live! I subjected my eyes and ears to horrors for this one, so please give it a like and subscribe open.substack.com/pub/glaciers...

Monday on Glaciers & Whatnot

New video on the tok..... (one year later) www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM6VPfuV/

"Now is the time to be loud" They can't hear you from Bluesky

This got me blocked by 27 people so far. Diversity of thought is punished here and that's a huge problem.

It sucks that if you diverge even slightly from the most popular opinion on here, people will just start blocking and berating you. We need to be doing better.

Theory: the response is asymmetrical because this time it was public and posted (uncensored) online

I guess content warnings on videos aren't a thing on twitter anymore

I applied for the NSF GRFP last year as a Masters student. I graduated. Can I apply again this year as someone who is no longer a student? Or do I need to wait? ⚒️

I need this

To be honest I would love for my job to be science communication, but I don't know where to start with that other than just continuing to write

Scientists shouldn't block major peddlers of disinformation. Their propaganda spreads without our intervention. For climate change, Trump wants to see Matthew Wielicki's and Judith Curry's propaganda in American schools via PragerU. If we block, we are being complicit in the disinformation.

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.

We are aiming to submit the letter to NSF early next week. Please reach out by Monday July 28th at 3pm Eastern if you'd like your name added. Please repost and boost! (6/n)

The NSF just the other day declared dissent against the Trump administration. If the NSF does nothing, if we do nothing, it was all just words on paper. If you're fearing retaliation, you are already being retaliated against.

This will end a very wide swath of Antarctic research conducted by U.S. polar researchers. We cannot let this happen. sharing this to the Cryosphere Science feed --> 🥼❄️

YES!

NASA employees have released their own 'dissent' letter, joining NIH and EPA employees in protesting agency changes in the Trump administration. They call it the Voyager Declaration. Words by me: 🧪🛰️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The National Science Foundation should also dissent .... just sayin' Why recognize or acknowledge the authority of a pedophile?

I actually never got my GRFP application comments

The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals. The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

The job market is a disaster. I applied at a movie theater (as a backup job) months ago, and they replied this morning telling me they didn't even review my application

"I'm a scientist, why should I stay on Twitter?"

Is it really that hard for people to resist nazi propaganda? I've been surrounded by hateful people on that app for years. It's pretty easy to not fall for their lies... Maybe it's because I fight it?

Check out my latest post on Glaciers & Whatnot! 🥼❄️ ⚒️

A new post is out this evening on Glaciers & Whatnot! The press has a headline problem when it comes to sharing cryosphere and climate science. I address a few of these headlines. open.substack.com/pub/glaciers...

A new Glaciers & Whatnot article is live! This one is in response to a very strange tweet I encountered on Twitter open.substack.com/pub/glaciers...

Well it finally happened. I finally found someone who thinks algebra is woke.

The new Biweekly Ice Tea is out! This week, we peer beneath ice and back in time to an ancient river system preserved beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet 🥼❄️ ⚒️ open.substack.com/pub/glaciers...

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

Biweekly Iced Tea on Glaciers & Whatnot is gonna be a late one this week. Had a busy weekend and Monday.

Talking Climate is now a podcast! Every week, you can listen to the good news, not-so-good news, and what you can do on Spotify and Substack, narrated by the amazing Anne Cloud — and we’ve already got nine episodes ready to binge. Listen on Spotify:

Whatever orange man tried to get out of this weekend (violence to spin, a crowd to gather at his parade, any reason to justify an expansion of power), he failed. But don't fall asleep yet. He will try to provoke us more. Stay focused and stay strong, everyone.

I find it sad when people block me for calling Bluesky an echo chamber. Really does reinforce my point, though. I'm not harassing anyone, being mean, or throwing insults. Some people simply just don't like what I'm saying, and they block me. Does nobody else see the problem with that??

I get that, I really do. But for the scientific community specifically, and science communicators, we need to to clash with anti-intellectualism and people interested in dismantling our livelihoods. Scientists who have blocked climate change deniers, they troll you to get you to block them.

I'm no doomer, but managing to get elected twice, dodge federal prison and rape allegations, undermine congress in federal budget matters, undermine federal judges, undermine state sovereignty, and manipulate a wide population of the United States, isn't exactly the face of incompetence.

I am not sure people realize how close the situation in Los Angeles is to a massacre. I hope it doesn't come to it.
