This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

We need two people to step up into this editorial role. It has been incredibly fulfilling for me to have been co-editor for 5+ years, but now it’s time for us to let another team shape the field.

Read this by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk: “Russia does not care whether there is war or peace — it seeks the destruction of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. It will gleefully pocket every concession from the Trump administration and then continue fighting.” on.ft.com/4bn2uSs

#BlackHistoryMonth Reading "What does it mean to paint slavery iconography onto a pair of walrus tusks, and what is at stake in considering the Arctic as a landscape connected to Black enslavement?" - Bart Pushaw niche-canada.org/2022/09/01/f... #envhist #arthistory #arctic

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Ukraine Fact Sheet - February 21, 2025: isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

www.routledge.com/Routledge-Ha... Happy to have been part of this project, and it's getting more timely given geopolitics in the #Arctic right now.

⚡️'Massive demolition site' — Trump claims Ukraine in ruins while pressing Zelensky to hold elections. Trump alleged without evidence that Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating" in Ukraine and blamed his leadership for "allow(ing) the war to go on."

⚡️ Russian strike on Odesa injures 4, causes massive power outages. A children's clinic, a kindergarten, high-rise buildings, and cars were damaged in the attack, according to Governor Oleh Kiper.

The @telegraphnews.bsky.social says it has the document Zelensky was asked to sign www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

“As the tundra continues to thaw and the flow of submarine groundwater ratchets up, Demir said that the outflow of carbon from shore to sea could effectively make ocean surface waters a carbon source to the atmosphere.” #Arctic phys.org/news/2025-01...

Today is the day, my book "Arctic State Identity: Geography, History, and Geopolitical Relations" is *officially* published! 🙀🙌 Available from @manchesterup.bsky.social: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526153906/ #Arctic #Geopolitics #ArcticIdentity

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

This is a huge tranche of material. Remember: the secret police unwittingly compile early drafts of social history. There's plenty to be gleaned from these files for culture history, the history of sexuality, histories of immigrant lives, and so on.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Happy New Year from the Minerals team! The podcast recording for our second online roundtable on extraction and racial capitalism is now available: imperialminerals.ie/podcasts/ Featuring: Danielle Kinsey, Rebecca Macklin & Nick McGee and chaired by Gigi Tang. Have a listen—it's great! 👇

BBC news did a great segment on the climate link to this extreme fire event, just before I came on to talk about Greenland. It's important to normalize discussions of climate change as a non-partisan reality of our world so we can reduce risk and build a better future.

The sea ice in the #Arctic has become so thin that we could already see the first day without sea ice by 2030, according to a new study led by @clnhz.bsky.social from the University of Gothenburg and @seaiceclimate.bsky.social from @cuboulder.bsky.social. shorturl.at/RJd4E #climatechange
