Kevin Gurney, one of our SW-IFL co-PIs, featured in the @nytimes.com Lost Science series: "This feels like a total paradigm shift in the government’s role supporting science. Science does not function when priorities change every two years." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/c...

"Authoritarianism makes us feel less safe in our neighborhoods, it makes our bills harder to pay, our health care harder to access, and stifles our ability to thrive and support our families and communities. It’s exhausting and it’s not normal." Read @dminovi.bsky.social compelling blog:

“Democracy is just good for the economy. And autocracy is bad for the economy. Autocrats are just not good at managing economies. Policymaking tends to be erratic as democratic institutions decline.” - @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/b...

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

"Why on earth would we abandon institutions that have genuinely made America great? ... Why would we put at risk laboratories that are working to cure cancers or perfecting artificial limbs or exploring deep space or testing the limits of artificial intelligence?" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/o...

New interview in @sciam.bsky.social “My advice is to learn from the places that have been caught off guard and do your proactive planning before it happens to you.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/extr... #extremeheat #heatresilience

@who.int calls for protection of public health excellence in the US CDC

Common theme of people I've interviewed recently. At universities, in research centers, in diplomacy, in the legal system, dealing with refugees or immigrants: The reality inside is much worse than you would think from the outside.

Sharing my @uarizona.bsky.social TEDx Talk about how the world is currently experiencing a "heatshed" moment and we need more research and action on heat mitigation, heat management, and heat governance to advance equitable heat resilience. youtu.be/U8RErIjDWWc #heatresilience #extremeheat

Written by nine former CDC directors: "This is a time to rally to protect the health of every American. Congress must exercise its oversight authority over H.H.S. State and local governments must fill funding gaps where they can." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

I'd love to just post about protecting communities from climate change, but a prerequisite for that work is a functioning democracy that values science and evidence-based decisionmaking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"As buildings crack under record heat, architects are rediscovering ancient technologies—windcatchers, clay walls, and shaded courtyards—that kept cities habitable long before air-conditioning." atmos.earth/the-futu... #heatresilience #extremeheat #architecture

"The recent U.S. executive order “Restoring Gold Standard Science” poses a significant threat to the U.S. national economy and security."

2.4 billion workers are exposed to deadly heat globally. The new WHO / @wmo-global.bsky.social report outlines 7 steps to protect them. Act on heat stress with smart, scalable solutions. 🔗 bit.ly/3JvqKI1 #ClimateAction

"Arbitrary stops, empty streets, and checkpoints don’t look like a free society. And more importantly, their existence signals the end of one." @anandwrites.bsky.social the.ink/p/papers-ple...

Over the years I've researched how #urban #resilience is conceptualized by different academic disciplines, practitioners, & the public. I synthesized my thinking on the concept in a book chapter based on a talk at the 2022 Association for Literary Urban Studies Conference: doi.org/10.1007/978-...

"The uncomfortable truth is this: With each passing day, the federal government is becoming less prepared to face the next big disaster. And as the risk grows, the ability to deliver on its vital disaster response mission is shrinking." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/o...

Interviewed on @npr.org along with @katharinehayhoe.com about the loss of the National Climate Assessment: "It's a little bit like watching the modern version of a book burning." www.npr.org/transcri... #climatechange #nca

The proposed NOAA budget for 2026 contains the literal line: Total, Climate Research: $0 www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline. The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.
