#SaveNASA This note describes how working life is like for a scientist in federal agency. The post is about NIH but what it is described is the same we are experiencing at NASA Earth Sciences. Written a few months ago, it is still very valid. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-happe...

#SaveNASA NASA Earth Science is being destroyed little by little: divert money originally committed for contractor scientists (like post docs) salaries to pay to those recently retired civil servants who voluntarily left but are still being paid (a sort of) severance

97 percent of actively-publishing climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. A list of organizations that agree is here. NASA: bit.ly/4bUTUed @nasaearthwatch.bsky.social @thirdactoh.bsky.social @ccbecker271.bsky.social

a thread: 🧵 #SaveNASAScience Despite the talk, "Reductions in Force" (RIFs) haven't officially hit #NASA. Instead, the agency relied on voluntary retirements with severance for civil servants. Official RIFs have strict rules and bring the kind of bad publicity leadership wants to avoid. 1/5

#SaveNASA An appeal to the new administrator to save #NASA Earth Sciences. I think it is well said. But at the same time late in the sense that the damage is already structural and irreparable. Now it is a matter of starting over (if it ever happens)

a thread: 🧵 "Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down" A powerful quote from #Canada's PM #MarkCarney this week in Davos. Note his invocation is addressed not only to all countries in the world but also to the other entities in this planet that are more 1/2

🧪 I cannot avoid noticing that space science organizations are more vocal and active in providing #NASA science related policy information. NASA is a big founder of Earth Sciences, yet major ES societies like AGU, AMS or GSA seem like they are MIA on this matter. nasawatch.com/congress/aas...

#SaveNASA #NASAcuts The NY Times and other news outlets reported that GSFC decreased its workforce by 11%. This figure is misleading; the actual reduction was significantly higher. Here are at least two reasons why: 1- Timing of Retirements: These statistics are from November 2025, a 1/4

#NASAcuts #SaveNASA it is confirmed. Goddard library is closed @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social @eniiler.bsky.social @nasawatch.bsky.social

Some interesting historical perspective here. It appears that saving space for books is something that ,well, has not been a priority.

#ICYMI Something small is watching Goddard. This account doesn't post often, but in times like these, every perspective counts. #NASA

🧵 #NASACuts #NASA The closure of the Goddard library is more than a logistics issue—it is an assault on knowledge itself. NASA is the home of humanity’s most consequential expeditions, yet vandals are about to gut our accumulated archives under the guise of "reorganization". 1/4

NASA Goddard’s library is set to close. But why? Thanks to New York Times for covering. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

FYI #NASACuts @nasawatch.bsky.social @roguenasa.altgov.info @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social

#NASAcuts Goddard library is scheduled to close starting Jan/2. Many attempts in the past to do it have failed. This time feels very ominously real. No replacement is planned. Library personnel have been told to work on inventory and plan for a 90% disposal of the material. 😠

#NASAtownhall #NASAcuts Well, that was a bit unimpressive. There were too many general statements praising ingenuity and hard work, and invoking the past quests for which NASA is famous. It is hard to see how we can get back to any of that after the beating we’ve taken over the last 10 months. 1/3

#ICYMI NASA finally has a new administrator. hillheat.news/p/democrats-... Despite the headline, I believe NASA as we knew it has already been dismantled. Whatever emerges next will be fundamentally different. 1/3

🧪#NASACuts Postcard from a NASA Earth scientist I recently attended a university talk and left feeling surprisingly energized. It was the atmosphere: pure curiosity, student engagement, and "blue-sky" thinking. It made me realize how much this is missing at work lately. 1/2

hey @nasawatch.bsky.social In addition to Ames and Marshall, the GISS library closed too . I wonder of the whereabouts about all those tech docs. Some must be historical docs. And what about already existing documents and papers who refer (or cite) reports formerly in those libraries?

🧪 #NASAcuts Goddard Space Center library is due to disappear. It is not about when, but how and where the books will go. Another casualty in this relentless attack to #science and culture. it has a FB page. Let's see how long it lasts. www.facebook.com/GSFCLibrary/

As part of the amputation of @NASAGoddard, the Fitness Center is being closed. Who needs healthy employees, I guess. Memo: nasawatch.com/personnel-ne...

I don't understand how a workforce can focus on a mission if you don't make attractive to be physically at work to start with. I assume that next in line are the daycare, health unit and pothole maintenance.
