"Sometimes I marvel at the winding paths our lives take, especially when the world around us is loud, with opinions, expectations, and the pressure to conform. Amid life's apparent randomness, bounded by our own initial and boundary conditions, what steers us forward?" doi.org/10.1029/2026...

The U.S. Forest Service is closing 57 of its 77 research facilities in 31 states under a reorganization plan announced this week, threatening science that looked at how wildfires, drought, pests and global warming are putting pressure on forests.

Hearing from folks! I know the FS has barred employees from talking to the press. I can keep your name and identifying details out of my story—won't publish anything without explicit ok. Seems equally important I talk to researchers working with the FS, who can talk about what we stand to lose...

I am shocked to see this language from the NSF. “The U.S. National Science Foundation's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Request reflects a strategic alignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment while eliminating woke and weaponized grant programs that previously funded radical DEI projects.”

The EPA has announced changes to the definition of Waters of the U.S. that leave critical systems supporting drinking water, floodwater storage, and biodiversity unprotected. Public comments on the changes are open until January 5, 2026. Read SFS's response: freshwater-science.org/news/sfs-res...

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name. "These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

I have a suggestion…

Time to get your public comments in on the proposed Waters of the U.S. rule that would strip protections for countless wetlands and streams. Trout unlimited has a tool on their page that will automatically send your message to the EPA as well as your representatives: www.tu.org/conservation...

One year’s worth of rain in 24 hours in China. Here in NJ, we just had a 10-minute rainstorm so intense that it downed trees and power lines and flooded streets immediately. This is what a hotter climate does www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-as...

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Hundreds of employees at the EPA released a “Declaration of Dissent” today, accusing EPA officials of politicizing the agency and undermining its core mission to “protect human health and the environment.” scim.ag/4lB937S

Don't forget to apply for the Headwaters Leadership Academy by Monday!

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

The National Science Foundation budget proposal would be a devastating blow to American science. 240,000 fewer people would be involved in federally-funded science in fiscal year 2026, according to estimates in the document. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE PROPOSED NSF BUDGET CUTS NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE FROM NSF ACTIVITIES. FOR INSTANCE, JOBS.

Caravan News🐪🐫 I just published Version 1.6. The main update is that the source data for CAMELS-AUS was upgraded to CAMELS-AUS v2. This means more basins (561 vs 222) and more recent streamflow data (2022 vs 2014). All relevant links in thread 🧵 (please share/repost)

An amazing group of dedicated federal workers celebrating 75 years of NSF supporting science. What a joy to be a part of! www.science.org/content/arti...

This is just a partial glimpse of the destruction of American science by Trump and the GOP.

Federal scientists will no longer update list of billion dollar weather weather disasters, NOAA said Thursday. List had been growing dramatically in recent years, a sign of both extreme weather & increasing development. Report by Scott Dance: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

OMFG. If there's any agency that is NOT top-heavy, it's NSF. Over 95% of the money flowing through NSF goes to awards.

The world is insane, but little things help ... "Wait, isn't NSE supposed to be close to 1?" So proud my students 1) know what NSE is, 2) know it's supposed to be close to 1, 3) chat it out when they're unsure!

Recently, all the AAAS Science & Tech Policy Fellows at EPA were terminated from our positions with little notice and for no clear reason. This effectively ended a partnership that had been going since 1980 and which had brought hundreds of scientists to the EPA as fellows, many of whom stayed. 1/7

And the first grant termination hits.

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

I'm heartbroken and so, so angry to say that my NSF grant that asks how we can make conferences better serve people doing environmental science in different sectors was terminated of Friday. Keep different back for science and let's hope for injunctions against these illegal actions.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...
