While regulations.gov incorrectly lists this action as "closed for comments", you can submit your comments directly here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM... My response is below, but don't feel that you need to draft anything nearly so long-winded. A short statement will also be very helpful.

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

My daughter took the stage to give a TEDx talk on deforestation. She didn't just highlight the problem, but shared real, actionable steps we can all take to protect natural forests. Watch her talk here: youtu.be/Qgdpy_V3I38?... Obviously a proud dad moment, but she actually got inspired at school

My former colleague Min Chen, now at @uwmadison.bsky.social , has a great "Proposal Coauthor Tool" uw-gcrl.github.io/coauthor_tool/

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join a newly funded project on “Coupling in situ high-frequency soil moisture data and remote sensing products to bridge spatio-temporal gaps explaining forest health, evapotranspiration, and water availability dynamics across forest biomes”.

❗❗ New Python Notebook For USGS Data❗❗ There have been multiple requests to get the Streamflow data from the USGS National Water Dashboard. Well this notebook will do just that. It will get the data, plot it, AND provide a KMZ to be loaded into your systems. Go and play! github.com/jjrennie/usg...

Hosting Giova Mosquera at CNR has been a great way to end the semester! He gave great insights into the hydrological processes of tropical and subtropical landscapes during his research seminar talk and guest lecture to the Watershed Hydrology class at NCSU.

NEW: NSF has been funding research at a fraction of its historic rate. Last week, the agency finally began distributing money to its directorates and is now likely to pick up the grantmaking pace. But these allocations also amount to substantial cuts across the sciences. My reporting:

BIOGEOMON 2026 attendees will have several opportunities to get out of the conference hall and into the field with several excursions planned for the June event in Sweden. Details here: bit.ly/BIOGEOMON_Ex... 🌐🧪

Seminar alert for NC State College of Natural Resources students and faculty: @giovamosquera.bsky.social will present his work on "Streamflow generation in a Tropical Intermittent Hydrological System under Changing Land Use" on Thursday, 23 April, 11:30 AM-12:30 PM at JORDAN HALL ADDITION, ROOM 3212

North Carolina friends! I'm heading your way this coming Earth week for public talks at Wake Forest, Elon, and Duke (plus over two dozen more small events including guest-teachings classes, meetings, interviews, and more). If you're in the area, I'd love to see you there. Details below ⬇️

The river was popular with whitewater kayakers and rafters. Helene hurt, but the trouble kept coming.

We had the pleasure and honor to host Magali Nehemy at our Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at NCSU. The Watershed Hydrology students appreciated her insights on transportation and the hands-on activities on how to measure it in the field.

Review: TEACHING STORYTELLING TO AMPLIFY STUDENT VOICES Maru Gonzalez, Michael Kokozos & Christy M. Byrd offer an inspiring & transformative vision for reimagining education through the power of student narratives. #edusky #teachersky @routledgebooks.bsky.social www.middleweb.com/53287/amplif...

How do mountain streams keep flowing during record-low snow years? Our new paper in Nature Geoscience explores how old groundwater buffers streamflow during low-snow years in the Upper Colorado River headwaters. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

The US Forest Service. This is madness. Illegal, obviously. But madness even if it weren’t. WTAF morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Why does critical zone science need drilling? What are the most common questions, techniques, and measurements made? How can we make the most of drilling campaigns to test and develop new hypotheses? New CZ drilling review with @csdfacility.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Stop Guessing, Start Planning. Ever look at a single snow forecast and think, "But what are the actual odds?" The Probabilistic Precipitation Portal is a resource to help you get ahead of the storm by moving beyond a single number to give you the full picture. www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/Prob_Precip/ 👇

The differences in type will likely be quite variable across the Eastern US this weekend. If it's going to be snow or freezing rain will have important consequences. You can report the type of precipitation with @noaa.gov's mPING app: mping.nssl.noaa.gov See resulting maps here mping.ou.edu/display/

Over 160 million people are under winter hazards associated with the impending major winter storm. Disruptive snowfall is likely from the Rockies to the Northeast, including dangerous ice from the ArkLaTex to the Mid-Atlantic. You can find a detailed forecast at weather.gov. Here's the latest...

Half the world’s 100 largest cities are in high water stress areas. As we enter a global era of water bankruptcy we need water front and centre of agendas. Check out the new Water Security Atlas (second post) and my story in the Guardian. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊 Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

Does anyone have experience with a Accomplishment-Based Renewal proposal to NSF? What would qualify as competitive metrics of accomplishment? number of publications? number of mentees?

The Boston Globe Test: This satirical front page imagined a Trump presidency in 2016. Critics (including Trump himself) dismissed it as "alarmist" and "propaganda" at the time. Do these headlines feel normal today? Even...quaint? If so: we have grown more accepting of what was once unthinkable.

Sigh. Shutting down the National Center for Atmospheric Research will make the world a more dangerous place for all of us.
