The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

These federal firings have nothing whatsoever to do with the government shutdown, and if that is not the lede of every report discussing them, and if you are the author of any such report, quit your job and learn to surf or something instead

My colleague and collaborator, Dr. Rebecca Vega Thurber, pushes back on Trump's disinformation campaign on climate change as a 'con job' in a powerful op-ed today. Science is clear. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Part of this week's Hub update was an expansion of the Hub’s connection to @orcid.org. Researchers can now connect their Local Contexts account to their ORCID record as an external ID. Learn how to utilize this update in our blog: localcontexts.org/october-2025...

Thanks @colorado.gov for taking swift action to stabilize the approach for everyone who wants them, to get COVID and flu vaccines at their local pharmacies. We got vaccinated yesterday at Safeway.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

This #ClimateWeekNYC, Grist is teaming up with artist Louise Lao for Between Waves—an art show honoring the ocean 🌊. RSVP here: www.climateweeknyc.org/events/betwe... 🗓️ Sept 20, 2025 🕔 5–8pm ET 📍 141 Flushing Ave, Suite 1313, #Brooklyn, #NY #Art #Climate #Oceans #Sharks #Sea #Shark

There are billions of #biodiversity observations worldwide 🌱🐞. Yet, almost none of them have associated #IndigenousDataSovereignty rights assigned to the data. I'm looking forward to participating in this upcoming panel at #ClimateWeekNYC on these issues. RSVP to join: lnkd.in/g6zb_TXr

I am sorry to only hear about successful community infrastructure at this tipping point. The line that strikes me: "Flybase is free to use, but it isn't free to make." This highlights the risk of funder dependence, but more so the scientific enterprise's lack of other financial support mechanisms.

The community of Drosophila researchers is amazing, mutually supportive and collaborative. Right now a key resource for our community, @flybase.bsky.social , is threatened by the cancellation of its NIH grant and is seeking community help in raising short term funds 1/n 🧪 please share

NYC 2025 Climate week! Excited to be there in the action and for this session hosted by @localcontexts.bsky.social

Coding interviews from people who left government earlier this year, and this is a fantastic quote in response to a question about what DOGE tech folk don't understand.

Flood Watch issued yesterday at 1:18 pm. WPC had mesoscale discussions throughout the event. NWS issues Flash Flood Warning at 1:14 am. NWS issues Flash Flood Emergency at 4:03 am. NWS was on the ball. The challenge is always getting the warning the last mile and getting people to respond.

Thank you, @baratunde.com, for illuminating history and putting this moment we are in now in a larger context. Reading: On America’s Birthday, Frederick Douglass, the Haudenosaunee, and Unrecognized Founders newsletter.baratunde.com/p/on-america...

Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.

🌍 This #EarthDay, science needs you more than ever. We celebrate our planet through stunning imagery and vital data—but we can’t protect what we don’t understand. #StandUpForScience #AGUAction

If any journalists are writing about the recent NSF cancellations, I can give you a good example of a grant that was framed as AI workforce development (and is not about misinformation) that seems as if it was cancelled due to a control-F for the word misinformation.

Protest today (Monday 3/3) at 11:45 MT at NOAA/NIST campus in Boulder, CO if anyone is looking to connect with federal lab workers (lots of them on r/Boulder btw)

“So yes, we've experienced a coup, not the old fashioned kind, no tanks or mobs, but an undemocratic and hostile takeover of government. It is cruel, it is petty. It can be brutal. It is at once chaotic and surgical…The question is, will the rule of law hold?”

This was a particularly good @jamesclear.bsky.social 3-2-1 email this week. I liked the "Things that keep people from fulfilling their potential" section and make each decade rich. jamesclear.com/3-2-1/februa...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

It’s not just the staffing crisis—our day-use reservation system, designed to protect park resources and improve the visitor experience, appears unlikely to return this year. Without it, overcrowding will strain our fragile ecosystems even further.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

I'm hoping that coming after their money will goad universities into urgent action. If you have influence at a leadership level, push hard for throwing everything at this immediately - what else are your lawyers & lobbyists for? The scale and speed of the response is part of the strategy.

NSF PRFB POSTDOCS: Pull the remainder of this funding cycle’s stipend, all remaining research funds, and all remaining travel funds (if you have them). Do it before 5PM today. Per instructions from multiple NSF POs. If you’re not already on the PRFB slack, DM me and I’ll send you an invite

At this rate Bluesky is going to have a billion users pretty soon.

Exciting opportunity this spring/summer for bird and microclimate-oriented field biologists at the HJ Andrews LTER, Oregon, USA. If you have western bird ID skills and like rugged fieldwork, please apply! jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/163...

Fuck you Facebook. That was the first thought I had when I woke up this morning. Followed by: What ministry is Mark Zuckerberg volunteering to manage for the dictators of the world? Ah, yes. The Ministry of Empowerment. And here's a rager of a blog post on this: www.zephoria.org/thoughts/arc...

This was an amazing movie about the only all Black Women's Army Corp that went to Europe in WWII. I just shared with colleagues what a great data journey example it is and it's a vivid example of intersectionality. History I am glad to know. www.netflix.com/title/81590591

I also found this workshop webpage for what is a feminist lab -> whatisafeministlab.online/videos/ and loved exploring how to work differently and disrupt the status quo. And @maxliboiron.bsky.social's talk at this workshop + this short doc, Guts www.theatlantic.com/video/index/.... Thank you, Max!

Cool things I found today: @loriemerson.net 's book, 'The Lab Book' - helps me think about field stations as hybrid lab spaces. This paper on field stations as scientific outposts (www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....) Not quite lab / not quite expedition.
