Reminder that in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill by Democrats that would have banned partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.

If you're not showing your whimsy every chance you get, how can you become the eccentric academic?

Scientific results should be reproducible, but if a ‘reproducible’ work is never reproduced, is it reproducible? A thread on the scientific method, problems, solutions, my new opinion paper, unpronounceable acronym: MRDTACS and an easteregg! 🧵👇 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #science

I asked Sam to come up with the syllables such that many different climate related poems could be constructed. Wednesday morning (night?) 5:30 am, good friend @caitlynahall.bsky.social and I put on our high viz vests, got our yardsticks out and started taping. By 7 am we had a hopping poem! 🧵👇

I may have done a #scicomm this morning at #EGU25… Hop your own #climate #science #poem! (Thank you @caitlynahall.bsky.social for putting this down with me very early!!!) Will be up till Friday 🤞.

Republicans’ proposed tax cuts — predominantly benefiting the rich — will now cost $5.5 trillion over the decade according to new CBO estimates. Previous estimates were were tagged at $4.6T, but Republicans added in even more tax cuts. They really can't help themselves.

@noaa.gov was slated to go dark at midnight. Apparently this has been averted, for now. It's only a matter of time before it is shut down. Anyone have a mirror or repository of federal US data? www.axios.com/2025/04/04/n... @agu.org @egu.eu

Request for Action: Elon Musk is seeking access to Fort Knox’s gold reserves. Congressional oversight is requested to ensure transparency during the audit, with bipartisan participation. Fort Knox gold reserves undergo annual audits.

#EnvironmentalJustice in oil and gas development: Shriya Pai and @caitlynahall.bsky.social examine The Willow Project - a large-scale oil Alaskan drilling initiative - as a lens on the impact of U.S. energy policy on sensitive ecosystems and local communities doi.org/10.1525/cse....

Came across my first instance of removed public access data while working on a meta analysis this morning. The effects of data removal and funding freezes are sending shockwaves around the globe #opendata

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments. What could go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

EPA, CDC, USAID and other data sites of federal government are all down or being scrubbed of long-term data that WE THE TAXPAYERS paid for. I teach with these tools! Why are our universities saying nothing about loss of access to information and research implications? I cannot believe the silence 🧪

Pull your climate data now before it's gone, like US health data.

Walkable cities are the best cities @kflo7.bsky.social

Reminder that Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Google are each facing federal antitrust lawsuits. They each gave cash hand over fist to Trump’s inaugural fund, which raked in a record $250 million. When I say money in politics corrupts our system, this is what I’m talking about.

#egu24 Great Debate: While leadership across levels is critical to tackle the climate crisis, it's hard if those in power don't take their boot off the necks of those demanding action. #ClimateAction
