A kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported from the U.S., even though she had a valid visa and a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion, according to her lawyer and court papers.

Experienced a moment of joy today sharing @fathomverse.bsky.social with @misselasmo.bsky.social! Gotta celebrate each and every one. ❤️

See you at the protest. #standupforscience

"In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet 'agency priorities'" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In 2008, the US started tweeting air quality data from its embassy in Beijing, putting pressure on the Chinese gov to address dangerously high pollution levels. The program was expanded and is credited with saving many lives and billions of $. Now, it's been killed. www.wired.com/story/air-mo...

#Arctic air temperature rank by month over the satellite era - now updated through February 2025 (record warm) 🔥 We need more research, not less, to understand the implications of this. + Ranks: 1=warmest (red), 46/47=coldest (blue) + Download higher resolution: zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

My colleague and friend, Silvia Bunge, a developmental neuroscience professor at UC Berkeley, created these fantastic signs for Friday’s rally. Sharing them here in case they inspire others to make their own! @standupforscience.bsky.social‬ #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

🧪 @royalsociety.org speaks out. "Scientific evidence & those who advocate for it are under attack by those who wish to undermine rational debate... The Royal Society will use its voice and the expertise of our Fellows to resist the various challenges to science." royalsociety.org/news/2025/02...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

If all their previous actions don't destroy scientific research in the U.S., this one, which seeks to modify or terminate grants and contracts, including those to educational institutions, will certainly do so. It's so sad that those who have benefited from the system now seek to destroy it.

Weather, warnings, oceans are public good and must remain so. #saveNOAA

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Twenty-one members of the United State DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

Forget Canada being our 51st state, the US is now part of Russia.

As the spouse of a federal scientist, I can say we’re ALL living in a state of constant extreme anxiety. How little these salaries take from the annual budget. What vital work these scientists/others do. And if he loses his job we lose our NPS housing too. The cruelty & the terror ARE the point.

Happy #internationaldayofwomenandgirlsinscience A reminder that by age 5, girls understand the role society has in mind for them — it’s more important to be cute than to be smart. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If you need talking points for your member of congress, I have some for folks in #Oklahoma - request expansion of the NSF Noyce program to get more teachers teaching physics in schools. 🧪🌊⚛️ Senator Mullin’s office was very interested in this topic

Consider getting your voice heard 🧪🌊 if a bad hombre like me can do it, so can you!

My heart always stops when I walk through these doors 😅 #nasa #sciencenerd

As a member of the Science, Space, & Technology Committee, I helped kick off the RI Life Science Hub’s Neuroscience Symposium to showcase our state’s leadership in biomedical innovation. In the wake of potential funding freezes, supporting this life-changing research has never been more important.

Sharing some of the points we discussed with members of Congress on behalf of APS. You can join by contacting your representative’s office too! 🧪🌊 My impression is that the importance of preserving national security is a bipartisan priority and both sides see the risk of losing scientific leadership

Thank you all for the messages. I did my best to convey all the talking points in adherence to APS official messaging. I need to take it all in but I will say that everyone we met was receptive to the need to get research funds going 🧪🌊 will provide more updates soon!

I’m meeting members of congress tomorrow on behalf of the American Physical Society to bring important topics front and center: quantum competitiveness, co2 removal tech, and international students as key to American innovation. Send me your thoughts! 🧪🌊

Hello out there scientists. If you're having meetings or grants or anything else impacted by freeze of NSF meetings, please feel free to reach out to me to share your story. Signal: thealexknapp.79 Email: [email protected]

Unlike just about every other year in the satellite-era record of sea ice by early January, the Hudson Bay (Canada) still hasn't frozen over... Not good. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

Happy NY! I was lucky to see the #aurora in #Norway last October. Hope 2025 brings you magic in a similar way! 🎊

Happy holidays from the Wilhelmus Lab! This year we took a #glassblowing class together and glass is definitely a pretty amazing fluid! ❄️🎄

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea is barely half of the the 1991-2020 median and is the sixth lowest since 1978 for this point in the season. The good news: a much colder weather pattern is here with more north winds so ice will be able to grow and push south in the coming week. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

First snow of the season makes going through paper revisions a cozy experience ❄️🎄 #brownuniversity #endlesspossibilities

You know your week is off to a go start when this comes up in final project presentations #shrimpbot #science #robots #brownuniversity

Snippet from our social hour. Lately I’ve been asked what makes Brown engineering great? Easy answer: the people, the culture! With job interviews in full swing, don’t forget to reflect if you like your would be future colleagues and how they interact. #academia #brownuniversity

I am enjoying Bluesky but haven’t found my fluid dynamicists. Where are you guys?? Feeling lonely over here 😫

Wow!!!!!!!

NASA has recently released updated websites for data! Check out the new Science, Earth, and Planetary data sites! #OpenScience #NASA #AGU24 science.data.nasa.gov earthdata.nasa.gov planetary.data.nasa.gov

#Arctic sea ice extent has fallen to a record low for today's date (previously was 2016), which is related to particularly low sea ice in the outer marginal seas (e.g. record low in Hudson Bay). This is also the first new daily records set this year. Data: 'daily' NSIDC: nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

Hot take: All conference talks should be recorded, and the speaker could be live to answer questions. This would obviate technical problems and running over time. #AGU24

Sad to be missing #AGU2024 but excited that Ashfaq Ahmed will be presenting about the wind-ice coupling in #ECCO #mitgcm agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/me...

Check out our recent study on the seasonal evolution of the floe size distribution in the Arctic. 🧪 We processed imagery from #NASA satellites and detected over 9 million ice plates to study the spring-to-summer transition of the FSD. #ice #fsd #arctic #climate tc.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Did you know that copepods perform the longest daily commute to work? 😵‍💫 They can migrate hundreds of meters to avoid predators by using suction to swim upwards! Check out our latest paper on the near-body flow around swimming copepods for more details. #ocean #swimming #biofluids #copepod #suction
