So much winning.

So the lab just got our first price quote with the Trump Tariffs included. Turns out that an increase in the cost of a scientific instrument by 39% (the tariff rate for Switzerland as of Aug 7) is…a lot of money! 1/

🔥 Emissions from Spain and Portugal #wildfires so far this year account for three quarters of 2025 total fire emissions for the European Union + United Kingdom based on #CopernicusAtmosphere data. As of 25 August, EU+UK emissions are the highest annual total in the GFAS dataset going back to 2003.

I didn't realize that calls for the removal of lead in gasoline started in the 1920s with Alice Hamilton, first woman to join the faculty at Harvard. It took 70 years until lead was finally banned from gasoline. She was a trailblazer for occupational health! www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/05/hist...

Air pollution from oil and gas kills over 90,000 people in the US every year and makes hundreds of thousands more sick, disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities. But Republicans want to drill baby drill and kill more people because they're racist af.

Hawaiian geese are friendly, gentle, and curious, not to mention rare and endangered. The perpetrator deserves severe punishment. 🤬

Blue and Gold George Agnew Reid 1928

This a long read & deserves to be savored. I especially love that the authors are enthusiastic users of AI, which "makes it easy to forget that the impact of AI on science as an institution, rather than individual scientists, is a different question that demands a different kind of analysis."

We are looking for a PhD student for a project on chloronitramide in drinking water. Please spread the word! jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

New in 2025: a faculty promotion review request asked me not to use AI to analyze the case or to draft or edit my letter. I find it a little demoralizing that this need to now be explicitly stated for something that is by definition "expert review".

UC-Berkeley has an open-rank faculty position in our incredible Climate Equity and Environmental Justice (CEEJ) research cluster.

Big up to @rdzombak.bsky.social for bringing eyes to this story. 🧪 So many people beyond my little cohort of fellows are impacted by slowdowns at NOAA. America is rapidly losing footing as a leader in climate science and we all are paying the cost.

Wooooowwwie wow wow. Kilauea going all out at the moment. www.youtube.com/live/fiyttmA...

The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. 🧪 How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.

Welcome to Joel Thornton, who will serve as interim dean of the UW College of the Environment. Thornton is an @uwatmossci.bsky.social atmospheric chemist who studies the impacts of human activities on air quality and climate. #UWEnvironment www.washington.edu/news/2025/06...

On Friday, June 20 we lost contact with our methane-measuring satellite. Despite considerable efforts we were unable to reestablish contact. This morning we learned that the satellite has lost power, and it is anticipated to be unrecoverable. methanesat.org/project-upda...

There have been arguments to redefine #PFAS that seem to be politically or economically motivated. We (20 scientists with PFAS expertise) argue here that the definition of PFAS should be unambiguous and based on chemical structure. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Canada’s wildfire smoke has now made it to Europe! Gives you a sense of how massive these fires are!

A closer look to figure out what this means for atmos chemists: -GEO is cut by 45%, but includes a 75.1% cut to research (buffered by smaller cuts to infrastructure) -NCAR gets a 39.7% cut with focus moving to ‘weather & earth system models’ and research to better understand wildfire evolution
