Here comes the thunderstorms @capitalweather.bsky.social

Former Crater Lake National Park Superintendent, Kevin Heatley, says it out loud: Staff are being put in harm's way because of the anxiety and stress [from OPM, DOGE, RIFs]. The stress itself will get staff killed with psychological and physiological impacts. www.opb.org/article/2025...

“But I’m tired of waking up at 3 in the morning and not being able to fall back asleep because I’m concerned about how I’m going to navigate the latest staffing communiqué.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

We're literally running out of people to carry out the BLM's mission and the Administration's top priorities. @politico.com 🫠 www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Just in time for National Employee Appreciation Day and Public Service Recognition Week. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Thank you @phillevin.bsky.social for being resolute and your perseverance, these words and actions are much needed. "When knowledge is threatened, don’t just mourn it. Build around it ... Because science is only as resilient as the people who refuse to let it die." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/o...

Pope Francis last year on those who deny climate science: "There are people who are foolish, and even foolish if they show you them research. They don't believe it…They don't understand the situation or because of their interest, but climate change exists." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Gutting NOAA doesn’t just hurt science—it hurts all of us. From weather forecasts to safe, sustainable seafood to coastal resilience, we rely on NOAA every day. Congress must act to protect NOAA. Read more from @UCSUSA: blog.ucs.org/rachel-cleet...

I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.

ICYMI: DOI released new technical guidance highlighting best practices for using climate science to inform analysis, consultation, and decision making. This guide will help BLM and other Bureaus incorporate high quality information on climate impacts and adaptation! www.usgs.gov/publications...

Hi friends, I haven't checked this platform in quite some time, and lots has happened ... but in professional news, I finished my detail with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and started a new role with the Bureau of Land Management!

ICYMI: Interior's Restoration & Resilience Framework helps guide strategic, collaborative, equitable, and landscape-level investments for transformative restoration outcomes that address the climate and biodiversity crises, and invests in clean water and air. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/28c4...

POTUS: We can’t be complacent.  We have to keep going.  #NCA5

The Fifth National Climate Assessment is out! The NCA5 assesses national and regional climate impacts, and options for reducing present and future risk. While every region of the country has felt climate change, also present is ambitious climate action! www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Gotta prep for the Midwest Climate Resilience Conference. And Duluth does not disappoint.

Humbled to have my heat planning, policy, and governance research featured by NOAA. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

ICYMI: The Administration hosted its first ever White House Summit on Building Climate Resilient Communities, and released the National Climate Resilience Framework! Proud of everyone's efforts to get this across the finish line! www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Last week, the Council of Economic Advisers hosted a roundtable discussion on Climate Risk Modeling - read more here: www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Thursdays are fun when you dress up and tour the White House (and find out your suit still fits).

Last week the White House hosted the Climate Risk Modeling Roundtable where I had the honor to deliver remarks on the unprecedented suite of actionable climate services this Administration has been advancing!
