US GEO folks: A few NSF POs are traveling again (!!) & several are hitting the regional GSAs. @drrocks1982.bsky.social + @llautz.bsky.social are headed to the Triple-Joint meeting in Memphis, I'll be in Hartford for the Northeastern. We are hype to see the community! Reach out if you'll be there!

Chernobyl Miniseries alternate working title, "The Geiger Sanction".

US GEO folx: we’ve got one more webinar on the books (for now)! Come say hi, ask your burning questions, hear the latest about NSF/Earth Sciences. Thursday, Sept 18, 2p Eastern: www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-d...

This kid’s 4000 year old wrong answer has to rank highly in the humiliation hall of fame.

As the old saying goes….”all’s well that ends in a well” (free water)

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

AFGE Local 3403 President Jesus Soriano joined Rep. Zoe Lofgren and AFGE National President Everett Kelley to highlight the damage being done to NSF by the Trump Administration and discuss a letter sent to Congresswomen Lofgren signed by 150 NSF employees #SaveNSF #SaveScience #FundNSF

Has anyone done a fitness challenge this month and called it Joule-y?

National Science Foundation staff were notified that their office space will be taken over by Department of Housing and Urban Development. It's unclear where the 1,800+ NSF employees will work. Renovation plans apparently include a personal gym for the HUD secretary & family eos.org/research-and...

Absolutely speechless as this press conference basically ignores that NSF is already working, living, loving this building. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdct...

Someone consult Iben Browning’s notes to see if he called this.

US Earth Scientists: We know you have questions, come get them answered directly from NSF/EAR POs! Tuesday, June 17, 2p Eastern. Register here: www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-d...

If you're a scientist on here, you can always doom post later.

People need to respect Stregavolcanoes.

This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation. There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Proud to be in this photo.

The National Science Foundation marks its 75th anniversary this week. Rather than celebrate, it's time to save it. www.savensf.com/nsf-at-75-to...

Our union has thoughts on our CMO. Spread the word.

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

NSF PD Raleigh Martin out with another statement on the NSF grant freezes. 🧪 ⚒️ #climatesky

Science friends, I’ll be honest: We have no idea yet what any of this will mean. But I can tell you that I work alongside some of the best humans around and that we are fighters. www.science.org/content/arti...

It’s Earth Day, and some of us have spent not just our careers but our whole lives loving + studying the Earth. It is not an easy time. But I hope you take a moment today to look at something beautiful, eat something delicious, squish someone you love, pet a dog, remember the nice parts. Yay Earth.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Sometimes you just need a well branded bag of cow poop.

Had a palette cleanse in the Florida Keys c/o this non-profit that rehabs injured/sick sea turtles. So far in 2025, 2 out of 3 rescues (including Lenny!) have already been returned to the ocean, where they can do awesome things like eat jellyfish! Heartening stuff: turtlehospital.org

Getting laughs by reporting “I’m back from the dead!” at the IT desk when describing the nature of my systems access issues.

I had to make a meme for this and of course it’s you-know-what.

AGU has joined a lawsuit challenging the firing of probationary employees at federal agencies. These actions weaken science, harm public health & the environment, and threaten national security. 🧵 #StandWithScience

Completely unacceptable.

NSF truly matters. Don’t let it be destroyed.

Genuinely moving to walk out of work with these notes as well as kind colleagues holding signs of support.

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

I’m broomscrolling! (shopping online for new cleaning supplies)

The first of these sessions starts in 3 hours!

Starting my first #MisconceptionMonday with a common one in seismology: do small earthquakes relieve the pressure on faults? Are small quakes a good thing? 🧵. Long 🧵. But hopefully worth it.

Bad news: Your wagon has been on the Oregon Trail for almost 13 years and the American Civil War has started. Good news: As a simple dirt farmer from Illinois, you turned $400 into a meandering but well-stocked wagon somewhere past Fort Boise. oregontrail.ws/games/the-or...

Today marks exactly 20 years since the 2004 magnitude 9.1 great Sumatra earthquake and tsunami, one of the worst disasters of all time. It was the planet's first M9 quake in over 40 years. More than 225,000 lost their lives across 14 different nations, an unprecedented transnational disaster.

There’s a parallel universe with a state secession movement called “Disconnecticut”.

“KIRK UNIT!” 2-3-4 is the best story of the TOS films, all of which tried to say something, unlike the TNG and Abrams “meh” that came after. But, TPM is the best film.

This is exactly what I needed in my inbox when I woke up this morning.

The team is amazing and work is important!

They know.

Just now learned that NSF is partly responsible for the existence of Duolingo, YOU'RE WELCOME new.nsf.gov/science-matt...

Lincoln 2: Separate, but Sequel

Colonists occupying the American east coast grew corn crops using seed from indigenous tribes. It crossed the Atlantic & became established in European agriculture. Within generations, there were outbreaks of pellagra among colonists on a corn-heavy diet, esp. when meat, eggs & dairy were scarce.

At present, Milton’s potential impact on K-T recovery efforts are unknown.

in the city of St. Louis, Missouri, there is a museum called the Museum of Illusions, and it has come to my attention that this is the URL of their website
