HAPPENING NOW! SRTI live projections @ Tesla dealership in San Francisco. 📍Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco Go check it out. Tag us! 🧚🏼 #StopBillionaireSummer #ScienceWeek

A bunch of scientists 🧪 🥼 are in the Bay Area this week for #GoodTrouble as part of #StopBillionaireSummer and we have warnings about billionaire #oilygarchs. Some of us brought our free speech to the local Tesla dealership last night. #ScienceWeek @srti.bsky.social #TeslaTakedown

Since February, the Forest Service has lost nearly 15,000 employees. Now it's planning on a reorganization, and the public has a chance to comment before the end of the month:

It was indeed a very fun and productive workshop with participants from Africa, Europe, Asia and North America! 🙏🏼 Thanks to our sponsors @theneukominstitute.bsky.social @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social and the Departments for Biology and Geography @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social

For my NOAA colleagues: H/T @cdelawalla.bsky.social

More than 80 Harvard faculty members have signed on to a pledge to donate 10% of their paycheck to support staff and students, as long as the University resists Trump's unlawful demands. I am so proud of my colleagues. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

1/7 Check out a new UCS report, "Decades of Deceit: The Case Against Major Fossil Fuel Companies for Climate Fraud and Damages." Drawing on dozens of internal industry documents, it provides a decades-long review of the fossil fuel industry's campaign of disinformation and delay on climate action:

Happy Friday everyone. Thanks for reading NPR.org this week. Wanted to take a second to also remind you: I interviewed whistleblower Dan Berulis to accompany my lengthy written story on NLRB. Hear from him in his own words: one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5355...

March was busy! I did some guest lectures, joined @srti.bsky.social @xrboston.bsky.social @jrvollhardt.bsky.social and many amazing artists as scientists from a zero-emissions future in the final act of this production www.arrowstarts.org/climate, & of course #TeslaTakedown

I remember learning in school about the desaparicidos under Videla in Argentina - the echo is deafening. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers...

1/ On April 5, there are nationwide protests happening literally everywhere in the US. Find more details here: handsoff2025.com

The ICE arrests are meant to terrorize dissenters and crush the intellectual freedom that’s the whole point of universities—and the tactic is having its intended effect. Thanks to these professors for fighting back. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Very excited to share a new initiative to ensure US climate scientists will be nominated to IPCC AR7 cycle. The new U.S. Academic Alliance for the IPCC (USAA-IPCC) has opened a call for nominations, hosted by AGU: www.agu.org/ipcc-nominat... We encourage eligible scientists to apply by April 4th!

How can we organize and speak up against the attempts of silencing critical voices around the academic world? Join our panel on organizing within Academia, with @srti.bsky.social , @scientistrebellion.nl and Allianz für Kritische und Solidarische Wissenschaft actionnetwork.org/events/acade...

Developers of curriculum - what is your go-to place for scientific illustrations? When putting slides together I'm constantly web searching for grainy images of biomolecules and trees, or making janky powerpoint roots and hyphae. Any tips or is this how everyone does it?

"See you in court" - Governor Janet Mills to Trump last week. I would have struggled to not tack on a colorful expletive. www.pressherald.com/2025/02/22/u...

This is a fantastic idea for scientists looking to make an impact! 📣⬇️

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle hoping to speak with scientists who were impacted by the government firings. Specifically NOAA scientists, especially those in California. Open to hearing from you on the record, off the record or anonymously. email: [email protected] DMs open

#TeslaTakeover #TeslaTakeoverBoston 10am at 888 Boylston St. Bring signs and friends. #UnplugTheCEO

Thiiiis.

I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

Now that's what I'm talking about

💯 these and similar moves go way beyond funding for scientific research. They are challenging the separation of powers.

Check out the @srti.bsky.social blog about the federal funding freeze, including the uncensored version of the @usgcrp.bsky.social Climate Literacy Guide. Use freely and share widely: www.srturtleisland.org/2025/01/30/f...

What do scientists think about their role on a planet in crisis? How engaged are they in climate action, and what barriers do they see to getting more involved? Thanks to @researchersdesk.bsky.social for recording my talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTvP... Slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1cAjC...

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

If you are 1) a federal civil servant/contractor ordered not to release scheduled data or reports, or 2) an academic who has lost access to government data in the past week ...please get in touch. I'm happy to keep our conversations confidential. crampell[@]washpost[dot]com

Disobedience is always an option. You may also consider malicious compliance, where you comply so hard or in such a way that it exposes how silly the edict is. @scientistrebellion.bsky.social @srti.bsky.social climatedisobedience.org

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

I discovered the world of climate comedy thanks to @maxboykoff.bsky.social & @mattywin.bsky.social - and it is so therapeutic! I’d love to curate a starter pack on climate & humour, but I only have 3 accounts, with @belinaraffy.bsky.social. Baba Brinkman + Chuck Nice aren’t here. Suggestions? 🧵

BREAKING: young Angelenos who fled wildfires are occupying the Phillips 66 facility demanding oil & gas companies pay to rebuild LA. These companies make climate change worse while raking in TRILLIONS of $$ each year. They profit while we lose our homes. That must end.

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

Ecology people! I need your recommendations for textbooks/educational material for introductory grad-level ecological statistics. I have my favorite tomes from 10 years ago, but they probably need an update. I'm also planning to include practical applications with R, and a short intro to ML.
