Legitimate criticism of Trump's administration occurs everywhere—and it’s no secret that Musk’s DOGE cut millions in scientific research—so the idea that criticism of this equates to terrorism, and results in someone being barred from the U.S., is absurd.

Here's part two of my series with @brettfavaro.bsky.social on tips for speaking to journalists as a scientist, this week focusing on things every scientist should know about how interviews work (and do not work). Please read and share! www.southernfriedscience.com/advice-for-t... 🧪#SciComm

Ok, this is affecting privileged people now. Will that make anyone pay attention?

Irony is dead.

A lot of this also applies to #anthropology. Our fields are more needed than ever, and also more than ever struggling to justify our existence. No coincidence. #academicsky

Nice article from @the-revelator.bsky.social by Melissa Gaskill - Seagrass Gardening "From tiny seeds come big results: replanting seagrass meadows that help fish, protect coastlines, and absorb climate-heating carbon dioxide." therevelator.org/seagrass-gar...

“We just have to start over,” says a mom from Venezuela, stranded in Tijuana after her CBP one appointment was canceled. Let’s remember the hundreds of people who are stuck in limbo in Tijuana, with no safe home to go back to. apnews.com/article/immi...

Stoked about this new article on 50 years of the Endangered Species act by @vmshirey.bsky.social and an amazing team of conservation scientists! 🧪 #academicsky www.frontiersin.org/journals/con...

To everyone in the U.S. standing up for science today, calling for policies that support science, not suppress it: we’re with you! Cutting science doesn’t just harm scientists – it harms society as a whole. #StandUpForScience

Very lucid commentary. US folks, please talk to people that have seen this play out before. This strategy has already been tested. jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-know-exa...

The Resistance is Aloha 🤙 Beautiful reflection by #Hawai'i playwrite Lee Cataluna www.civilbeat.org/2025/03/lee-...

More of these 🧪 #academicsky

More than half of all academics report the current EOs are impacting their productivity & >90% report low confidence in the government. Most alarming we are at greatest risk of losing scholars with minoritized identities. Great (& fast) summary of concerns in higher ed by @lluaces.bsky.social et al.

Federal cuts will have particularly harsh effects for #Native communities and insular territories. A deepening of the painful legacies of imperialism. #academicsky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/u...

No, I will not read the article about using dumb-as-bricks generative "AI" to write peer review reports because blood pressure. But let's be clear that this is a calculated managerial response to the system problem of demanding free labor for peer reviews to for-profit publishers #AcademicSky

Still a long way to go in #science 🧪

"Quisiera vivr de amar la viencia, pero necesito comer" Es global (aunque más marcado hoy en día en ciertas latitudes). La austeridad amenaza con nuevamente dejar a la ciencia como reducto de la alta burguesía. animalpolitico.com/sociedad/fal...

Really exciting #archeological find: an extraordinarily well-preserved #Polynesian waka or voyaging canoe! "For Maui Solomon ... there’s no doubt this is a “Moriori ancestral waka” that brought some of his ancestors to the islands hundreds of years ago. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

🌡 New on @ourworldindata.org: We added global temperature anomaly charts *coloured by El Nino / La Nina periods*. Today's "cool" years are warmer than "warm" years of the past. [New article and charts by my colleague Veronika Samborska and I: ourworldindata.org/global-tempe... ]

Interesting call for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Japan: www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fe...

Of course many federal workers can just “find another job”. But the point is that the jobs we do are done for the *public good*. There are no private sector corollaries. We do things that are largely not profitable and that is on purpose. We do work that benefits everyone, if sometimes indirectly.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

Folks in the US, please reach out to your representatives to stand up fo NOAA

Great move by the Society for Conservation Biology to widen access to fee waivers to Global South + low income institutions! Publication fees are a huge barrier to equity in science. conbio.org/publications...
