One year ago NOAA gave me 2 hours to leave my marine scientist job. I was one of more than 10,000 PhD scientists who lost federal jobs last year. @science.org told my story and others #MakeSCIENCEGreatAgain www.science.org/content/arti...

House Oversight Committee meeting on DOGE happening now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dPH...

Cool

Love for the win

Every American needs to watch this:

Going to Seattle to attend the The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC)! 🤩 IPHC is an international organization established by a Convention between Canada and the United States of America.

We have been here before. We have seen this before. American-funded coups in Latin America that lead to destabilization, gang violence, and masses fleeing, creating the very refugee crises we face at our borders. youtu.be/WWBCl8huNMA?...

Started the year with a cold water plunge with fiends. First we sat in the water for 10 minutes and then a full plunge! Bring on 2026! LETS DO IT! Air temp was 37°F

Cohoho and Merry Fishmas!! May your year be filled with abundant fish

The rumors are true. 45 of 650 wrongfully fired NOAA probationary employees have gotten their jobs back. Hoping they expand it to the rest of us, this proves we were fired simply for being probies who just started at NOAA. These critical jobs protecting communities and advancing science. #saveNOAA

Volunteering at the Dungeness crab fest in Port Angeles tomorrow is a good way to get free crab! 🤩❤️ #dungenesscrabfest #dungenesscrab

In the #Elwha, #salmon are more than #fish, they’re part of culture, history, and identity. For the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, they hold deep meaning in community and tradition. With the dams gone, Chinook are returning after more than a century; a powerful reminder of resilience and renewal.

Love the monitoring of the Elwha 🐟 and the opportune to talk to the local sierra club and talk about the history of the dam removal and nearshore ecosystems

Anyone else feel like this is reality now?

thank you Silenced Science Stories & artists for the lovely illustration ❤️ And for the work you are doing to share our stories @savenoaa.bsky.social “Alex ultimately served as a marine scientist at NOAA’s OCNMS until her work came to an abrupt halt on Feb 27, 2025” silencedsciencestories.com

The Ecuadorian cloud forest is one of the most special places on earth ❤️

Carlos Zorrilla has been living in an Ecuadorian cloud forest since the 1970s, and his last 30 years there have been spent fighting mining companies seeking to extract its large copper deposits. He and his community have been successful, but often at great personal risk, he tells our podcast:

I second this 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Former probationary employees of NOAA, illegally fired by the Trump administration, share their concerns about the agency’s future without their roles & reflect on what they could accomplish for the American people if they were reinstated. @savenoaa.bsky.social @peer.org youtu.be/7tOsHiK0VS8?...

@altnoaa.bsky.social @savenoaa.bsky.social @resistancerangers.bsky.social Impacts of the DOGE cuts by @peer.org youtu.be/SoCzSjiO8vA?...

A provision ‘hidden’ in the budget bill that passed, seeks to limit the ability of courts from enforcing their orders. The provision ‘would make most existing injunctions…unenforceable Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless and can be ignored. www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

This is devastating to so many different research areas and our ability to move forward. There is a brain drain happening and the US will no longer be a leader in science and innovation

Weeeeeeee

100%

Who is govemenet? A new book by Michael Lewis, who also did an excellent job on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social explaining who the federal workers are. Thank you for telling our stories #saveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social youtu.be/T30BF32qPgg?...

🤩 A win for science and humanity!

Didn’t work in 1930… yet here we are again Forecast looks bleak Amazing how 2 people are responsible for so much chaos and damage to us economy youtu.be/yuOHbyuanbY?...

😂

Last time he was in office he doubled the deficit … and his tax break on the rich are certain to do more adding to it…

Definition of corruption

CONFLICT OF INTEREST !!!

#ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

Sounds like a good deal to me. This admin is causing a brain drain… hates scientists, research and education… meanwhile EU wants to welcome US scientists with open arms www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Can’t make this up.

Sharktopus!!! I needed this today 🦈🐙 @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

They deported a Venezuelan soccer star who had asked for asylum after being persecuted in Venezuela. ICE claimed he was a gang member only based on a tattoo of a soccer ball and hand gesture in a photo 🤦🏻‍♀️ He was deported to El Salvador

🫣 This is what happens when you kill the department of edumacation 🫠

I know I make spelling mistakes… but I try to have someone proof read my writings when it’s supposed to get published I am upset as a taxpaer (sic) 🫠

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for showing up and supporting NOAA and federal employees #saveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social Video credit A.S.

I know it’s only 8am on this coast… but I’m calling it.. Best post of the day 🤣

Support this bill! “The bills would institute RIF moratoriums at the Department of Energy, the NASA, NIST, NSF, and the NOAA.” @savenoaa.bsky.social @noaa.gov @noaacomms.noaa.gov

Sounds like Costa Rica and Mexico could teach us a thing or two… Let start with Mexico has a woman for president 😉 Costa Rica has no military 🤩

Shot. Chaser.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Feeling like Schrödinger's cat.. Both fired and not fired from NOAA at the same time… or will have only been fired.. to get rehired only to get fired in a RIF again later … How is this eficient? @savenoaa.bsky.social @altnoaa.bsky.social www.ktoo.org/2025/03/18/f...

Being a fish ecologist… I especially love this

This whole thing where we have protected lands and waters under Democrats and sell out to billionaires and industry under Republicans needs to stop news.mongabay.com/2025/03/rep-...

As a former NOAA employee.. I can say I have not been rehired and no one seems to know if we are getting paid I’m getting whiplash “The recently rehired could soon become the newly re-fired, and the productivity of the entire federal workforce is taking another hit.” www.axios.com/2025/03/19/p...
