A number of our students got the following comment back on a rejection for the NSF GFRP. They are in an eligible STEM field. Is this something people in other places are getting too? Is it a quirk or targeted?

Conversely, the public comments process is potentially being weaponized against solar projects in ag communities, including comments that appear to be fake: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... #EnergySky

While many of my faculty colleagues remain silent, UNC students are leading the way. ICE OUT!!!

TX Gov Greg Abbott is going to try to wreck Austin's public schools using student anti-ICE protests as a pretext.

This article is from six months ago, but reading it this morning felt so poignant. Where, how and to whom ICE aims to remove humanity. Trying to find joy, community and shared identity in resistance and response. #ICEout

Seneca Meadows, the largest landfill in New York, remains open despite being slated to close at the end of last year. The landfill operator is also seeking to expand the site, which could keep it operating until 2040. Read the full article: rochesterbeacon.com/2026/01/22/w...

In many countries, winter months can be especially challenging for air quality. Cold air traps pollutants close to the ground, while heating, traffic and burning add more smoke and particles to the air we breathe. But how is air pollution actually measured? This article explains: bit.ly/3NhCKvJ

Great interview with Krystle Hickman, a wonderful photographer & community scientist who I'm lucky to know. She first learned about native bees as an adult and is not a trained scientist, and has since made important scientific contributions and inspired countless people (including me). 🌿🐙📷 #BugSky

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Why did Jeffrey Epstein cultivate famous scientists? www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-... The Epstein files revive questions of whether the disgraced financier sought to merely cultivate famous scientists, or to shape science itself

I can’t just do science. I have to organize, protest, volunteer beyond science, so that we can keep having science. Even in better times, science benefits when scientists participate in society broadly and deeply. I encourage my students to find where they can make a difference beyond our lab.

“Asking scientists to spy on and report on their fellow co-authors” is a “classic hallmark of authoritarianism,” said Jennifer Jones, director for the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists

"Adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps collectively saved US households between $5.6 to $8.8 billion in 2023 alone." "80% of users are satisfied with their heat pumps, and nearly 95% of EV owners are likely to consider purchasing another EV for their next vehicle."
