Here's your "violent" downtown Portland at the ICE building. A beautiful Fall day with a chopper making a ruckus and what looks like gunmen on the roof pointing guns down on people who are peacefully protesting. Some residue tear gas irritating my nose and throat. #NoMilitaryInPDX #PoliceState

The Fifth National Climate Assessment is back online! #ScienceNotSilence #ClimateChange #StandUpForScience

I'm proud to live in Oregon, a member of the West Coast Health Alliance, where my son and I just got our COVID boosters. Thanks @salinas.house.gov, @wyden.senate.gov and @jeff-merkley.bsky.social for standing up for science and rejecting RFKs dangerous antivax agenda! #StandUpForScience #ImpeachRFK

October 18 is #NoKings 2.0

Fellow Portlanders, get ready to (peacefully) protest. This is NOT okay. This is absolutely unnecessary, a political stunt, and completely illegal. #PDX #NoMilitaryInPDX #StopFasciscm

Great news - activism works!!!!

Thanks @nytimes.com for continuing to report on the authoritarian takeover and dismantling of U.S. science. So many great points in this article. "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes". -Mark Twain #StandUpForScience #ScienceNotSilence #WarOnScience www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...

It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.

Crab-like creatures are famed for having evolved five times in evolutionary history. But anteaters have evolved at least 12 times--in half the evolutionary span. Cool story by @jakebuehler.bsky.social for @science.org

New paper out on the dangers of using patterns across spatial climate gradients to predict what will happen with changing climate. That includes species distribution modeling. Space-for-time substitution can be misleading in sign, not just the magnitude of effects. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
