BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.
Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

In case you needed more inspiration to stand up for science on Friday (and wear a mask wherever and whenever you want).
We aren’t backing down at UCSD but this does motivate our organizing team to work on rolling back our restrictive interim policies on gathering.

This is terrifying. I am worried for the non-citizens who will be showing up to the science rallies this week. Please be smart. It’s unlikely institutions will be able to save you.
