More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level rise, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. 🧪

My postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech was thanks to the NSF. Our current Partnership for Research and Education in Materials grant is from the NSF Division of Materials Science. We need to strengthen the NSF, not destroy it. #WithoutNSF #AAG

In light of the skinny budget (55.8% reduction), 6 past NSF directors and 7 NSB chairs have sent the House Committee on Appropriations a letter advising doubling the NSF budget. "We face a fork in the road. Do we want to win or concede the race for new knowledge and a competitive STEM workforce?"

Already at Northwestern University walking around seeing the campus for the first time and next to University Hall I found this announcement on the walkway of the Harry Gray Day Celebration taking place this afternoon. Looking forward to the event and seeing Harry and all members of the Gray Nation.

Good news for today! The @agu.org and @amspolicy.bsky.social are teaming up to support climate science in the US and fill the vacuum left by the cancellation of the support team and dismissal of the authors of the Sixth National Climate Assessment. More from @drshepherd2013.bsky.social here:
