Our SPOTTR class returned to Purdue on 6 June after witnessing three tornadic storms and driving more than 3,000 miles. We collected RaXPol radar data on nearly every day of the trip. Thanks to NSF for supporting the participation of 14 students! #NSFFunded

Our new paper on the challenges of marine CO₂ removal has a pretty figure. Please admire it. 🌊🧪

The @financialtimes.com―my favorite news source―is covering moist heat stress& sports.

"This is not a routine regulatory update...What it actually does is restructure the foundational rules of US science funding—with cascading impact for global collaborators—to serve political priorities rather than the public good."

ICYMI -- this is a big deal, and we have a limited time to comment. We need everyone, including (especially!) non-academics to 1) make public comments, 2) write op eds, 3) contact your elected representatives, and 4) ask societies and advocacy groups to speak out against this and mobilize members.

Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

NOT to be confused w/ the Matt Huber climate scientist extraordinaire aka @climatedynamics.bsky.social

If anyone wants to read an excellent oped in the New York Times by Matt Huber, let me suggest you start with this one. www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/o...

Maybe I should change my name? Getting large amounts of hate mail and fan mail. Not sure which is more disturbing. It was just one little oped piece and I didn’t even write it. Sheesh.

"For too long, the university has ignored the wisdom of the donor class and hired based on academic excellence. Regrettably, this has led to the underrepresentation of discredited viewpoints in elite higher education." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wer...

One of NOAA's true gems - which could be at risk under POTUS' FY27 budget - are its testbeds which test & evaluate NOAA research for how it can improve its operations. I wrote today about my experience participating in a NOAA winter weather forecasting testbed experiment. tinyurl.com/35pua9cc

This is your reminder that there are other people with the same name as me who work in climate change and appear in the New York Times. Like this morning.

This is—and I cannot overstate this—A HORRIBLE IDEA Anyone who’s ever been there can tell you the Boundary Waters is a *national treasure* It is a rare, pristine, paradise of wilderness and mining will 💯 pollute and ruin that 😡

Also, the cuts to publication fees would likely have a significant negative impact on scientific societies, which probably not coincidentally are in some cases nexuses of opposition to the administration’s science defunding agenda.

I'm happy to report that the recent paper written by my former student Qin Qin Kong, part of his dissertation work WBGT, trying to develop a more solid theoretical understanding, is a Highly cited article in 2025. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TUPBHE... The credit is all Qin's.

The DOGE attack on the humanities was even dumber and more destructive than I though. And I thought it was amazingly dumb and destructive. "A documentary about Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust? The focus on gender risked 'contributing to D.E.I. by amplifying marginalized voices.'"

Meanwhile, Russia is helping Iran target US forces. Madness. It's honestly hard to comprehend the cascading bad decisions being made because of a crisis the USG created. thehill.com/policy/energ...
