Shrimp spreading in the Salish Sea... but what impact will it have? Definitely a need for further research! #invasive #InvasiveSpecies

This EPA employee asked me not to show his face for fear he’d be targeted, a sad statement in itself that testifies to who we’ve become as a nation:

Now THAT’S some #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

BREAKING: In a reversal, all NOAA Research sites will now remain online with "no interruption in service," according to the agency. NOAA had previously moved to cancel the research division's cloud services contract. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

People posting #Aprilfools “gotchas” need to read the room. I ain’t got patience for this stuff right now.

FYI Folks, for a while NOAA's Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool was down. It's back up now! Everybody go check it out and then DOWNLOAD the data so that if/when NOAA resources continue to be gutted, we can still use that data. edgi-govdata-archiving.github.io/j40-cejst-2/...

Look what we found! 🔎👀 WSG Crab Team monitoring revealed spread of the non-native shrimp (Palaemon macrodactylus) in Puget Sound. Our new paper is hot of the presses: doi.org/10.3389/fmar... #invasive_species #InvasionBiology #Bioinvasions #IAS

The indigenous peoples of the PNW have stewarded waters of the Salish Sea since time immemorial and tribal leadership in Dungeness crab management (and research) continues to be critical

Read this @sabs.bsky.social interview with my friend @co2ley.bsky.social, who was fired at NOAA as the Director of the Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and later reinstated but placed on administrative leave. Disclaimer: Some of my work on marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) is funded by OAP.

To be clear, this is *academic survival* (which seems like an important distinction)

Lower survival rate among trainees in labs with highly productive mentors raises important concerns about what we value in academia. Many interesting things to stew over with this paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nature is full of surprises.. but Who eats Whom? 🐡🐋Conventionally aquatic food web models are based on simple size-based (allometry) rules but the co-evolutionary arms race betw predators & prey means predators can eat v smaller or larger prey as these authors show ✅ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Mauna Loa CO₂ record is the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences. Trump and his enablers are trying to kill it.

🌊 @noaa.gov was a leader on ocean acidification (OA) and marine carbon dioxide removal (#mCDR). This research is decimated by the firings of many outstanding staff, including the leaders of the OA and mCDR groups, my close colleagues Sarah Cooley and Gabby Kitch. #StandUpForScience

It’s illegal for government employees to do personal business on gvmt property. People get fired for this. But this Trump-Musk employee is firing thousands at SSA & VA who’ve done nothing wrong—while illegally doing her side hustle on the taxpayer dime. www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

“As America’s wildlife dwindles, Elon Musk is swinging his wrecking ball at the skilled and dedicated people fighting to save our plants and animals from extinction. It’s beyond idiotic,” said Noah Greenwald, the endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

A really good thread about NSF leadership and the future….this is scary…infuriating…and scary…yes I said scary twice. Because it’s terrifying.

Great article on the ongoing impacts of the Trump administration on fisheries in the NE Pacific, and the people whose livelihoods both support and depend on them. alaskabeacon.com/2025/03/10/f...

Opinion: Sea Grant funding whiplash a warning to us all

🚨 Weather Forecasts Are Already Being Compromised 🚨 Former NOAA Administrator Dr. Rick Spinrad revealed that forecasters at the Dallas-Fort Worth office were unable to warn of recent tornadoes in West Texas because “the people who did that had been fired.” #SaveNOAA

Thousands “Stand Up for Science” Across the Country Including Nobel laureates, climate researchers, and parents of kids saved by groundbreaking drugs. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A complete and all-out attack on NOAA. Without a functioning NOAA there is no function seafood industry, no functioning radar network, no functioning weather models (US or otherwise). Would you cut a personal investment that saved you 70 times over your original investment every single year? (1/3)

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/41zlPv4

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

NOAA is on the chopping block, and that’s infuriating. The scientists at NOAA make us safer and stronger. They forecast weather, track wildfires, provide tsunami warning, respond to climate change, and more, and they are especially important for coastal communities.

In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2025 Kennedy Center Honorees...

Trump and Elon have placed new restrictions on NOAA & the National Weather Service, putting routine weather forecasts at risk. "...it’s going to be a crackdown on climate,” said a senior Noaa scientist. “People are just somewhere between disturbed and terrified.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
