There was yet another school shooting today in the United States. Compare and contrast media coverage of that with the shooting in Utah of a MAGA influencer. What do you observe?

Are you a doctoral student planning an academic career? The application deadline for the prestigious University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for 2026-2027 is November 1, 2025. Read more: ppfp.ucop.edu/info/

I sure do play with my glasses a lot. I feel a little awkward posting this, but my Department took down the link to this interview in response to ... something 🤷🏻‍♀️ #AirQuality

Together we bargain. Alone we beg. In union there is strength. ~Happy Labor Day.

Hey @vfmcneill.bsky.social! Look at the BlueSky message from Science about the paper!

Do you believe that climate facts should remain free from political interference and easily accessible? If so, watch our video and consider supporting our initiative. Find out how you can support: donorbox.org/climate-us-p...

The last GOTHAAM flight was bittersweet and also my favorite. Measuring the trees wake up felt special.

Sometimes patience pays off... This paper has been in the works since I was still in my 30s 🤣 It was a pleasure to travel to Xian and work with @amgcarlton.bsky.social and other friends and colleagues on this

Clouds ... you love to see them.

Flax Pond is *beautiful*. You may want to check the tide charts.

Symrna, TN (L) & Islip, NY (R) Kids grow, C130s get paint jobs...the more things change, the more they stay the same. It sure would be fun to hug these two guys right now or anytime really.

NOAA has just issued a La Niña Watch for late 2025/early 2026. So far this century, we've had 12 La Niña winters versus just 8 El Niño winters. What does this portend for Southwest US drought? There's some unsettling new science out on that. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/08/why-...

Tsunami detection in the ocean can save lives when the warnings are heeded. Improved forecasts brought to you, in part, by US scientists & engineers at NASA & NOAA @thenasaearth.bsky.social @noaa.gov

Haze from wildfire smoke from Maine to Long Island. Lyatt's chemical forecast accurately predicted this.

Indigenous peoples employed prescribed burns 🔥 as a traditional land management practice for centuries with benefits for ecosystems🌲🌸 & communities 💃👯‍♂️🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 #California capitalizes on that experience & expertise w/ this approach. There is room to grow.

This is NOT an onion article Make Gas Cans ⛽️ Great Again by Improving Flow | US #EPA In the long run they're ridding subterranean environments of harmful petrochemicals. This is actual real life #doublespeak.

Vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. Masks also help. CDC says more than 1,300 measles cases in the U.S. 🇺🇸 so far this year — the most since the virus was considered eradicated in the country. Heed the warnings!

Does anyone else feel like Fox "News" did to our parents what they thought Ozzy would do to us? Rest in Power, Mr Osborne.

The first 6 months of Trump's 2nd term have been a long 12 years. If only the other co-equal branches of government would not abdicate their power & responsibilities.

It was an honor & privilege to work in EPA's Office of Research and Development. To all of my friend's & colleagues still there, I am so sorry. You don't deserve this.

This is horrible news for anyone who breathes air or drinks water. EPA's research arm works to identify emerging pollution hazards. Ask yourself, who would be against that...🤔🤔🤔

The @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is the highest rated late night show for a while now. Colbert was just nominated AGAIN for an Emmy. #CBS can't make 💰 money💰 off of that show? It sure does sound like someone should be fired, but who?

I stand with Stephen Colbert @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Water-soluble #science in the heat & humidity. Go team!

Microbes 🦠 & Spaaaaaaace 🛰️ Driving across the USA 🇺🇸 on my way to GOTHAAM, I collected soils samples along the way. Jude, Stephanie & I rarely get to meet in person. What.A.Treat

Project 2025 plans to break up and reduce the components of NOAA. But the services NOAA provides, every citizen uses every day.

Archimedes' discoveries, wonders & name influence centuries later. The soldier who murdered him is lost to the sands of time, like Archimedes' last scribbles. Reflecting on the US' #science ecosystem, Archimedes last words are prescient, "I beg of you, do not disturb this"

The water is boiling, frogs.

#AGU25 in New Orleans Dec 15-19 will have an excellent session in the Atmospheric Sciences section: The Agriculture-Atmosphere Nexus: Agriculture, Air Quality, Nitrogen Cycle, and Climate Connections I hope we see you there.

Trump's cuts to the Weather Service & #NOAA as laid out in #Project2025 do not help improve forecasts or save lives. Also, construction in danger-prone areas needs some local, regional and national accountability. Blame responsibly.

Professor Don Blake is a treasure and we are SO lucky to have him @ucirvine.bsky.social He is smart, generous, hard working, pleasant and funny ... I could go on. Thanks for being you, Don!

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.

Our final updates have been posted to the Climate.gov website, and this will be our final post to our social media channels.

The Clean Air Act is VERY successful. Rolling back #EPA rules & regs is a mistake and will cost lives. The #ParisAgreement is not enough to solve the #climate emergency & also saves lives. Simon Rosanka & I take a stab at quantifying how many. Republicans attack their own best legacy 🤷🏻‍♀️

First they call you a radical socialist & then you win & then you reform stuff & then they name an airport after you:

Abraham Lincoln: I I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free. ... The Emancipation Proclamation was never challenged in court.

So today I did a thing.

In the United States 🇺🇸 we have no kings 👑

FYI: The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Democratic Staff, is trying to get more info on the impact of recent research grant terminations. If your award has been canceled since Jan 20, you can fill out this survey: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela...

In union, there is strength. We are all California. 🇺🇸

The #LAPD put out a statement thanking protesters for remaining peaceful. 🕊️☮️ The reason ... to tell the truth. Thank you to the international journalists working to spread the truth about #LA. Volunteer parents lining up to protect schools this morning is the America 🇺🇸 I love with all my ♥️

Are you in the National Guard & being asked to do something you think is wrong? You have rights. Be on the right side of history. GI Rights Hotline:

A little apprehensive but CHP is here protecting #NikeAfterDark women ONLY run in #DTLA You should care about other people because we are all other people. Stay safe Los Angeles & thank you for inspiring us Look for the helpers

With no sense of irony, WH says about the cancellation of federal grants to CA's higher education which will degrade USA science & tech: "no taxpayer should be forced to pay for the demise of our country" CA: net tax-exporting, uni/colleges are 3rd largest employer, trade surplus w/ other countries

A mechE PhD student tracked me down to ask for help responding to Reviewer comments! He's working on H2 infrastructure & had good questions about the #climate impacts from H2 leaks & how impacts evolve w/ transport & #chemistry. It was the sort of thing educator me has actually dreamed about.

Congratulations on your tenure, Sarah! 🎉🥳👏🎊🍾

No Mary Mears. If EPA's priorty was honestly the safety of employees, #USEPA would not allow this horribleness to take place in #EPA's building. Have the decency to at least not lie. Seriously. E.P.A. Workers Are Unsettled as ICE Makes Arrests in Their Building - The New York Times

Listen to John Morales @johnmoralestv.bsky.social He knows what he is talking about.

On the trouble in the US' scientific ecosystem European academics issue a letter of support for their colleagues: "Academic freedom is not a professional privilege. It is a cornerstone of democratic societies ... The echoes of such actions are tragically familiar in recent European history"
