It is difficult to describe just how disastrous it would be if just-released NOAA budget proposal (or even large portions) were to be enacted: It would involve a wholesale dismantling (decimation, really) of entities relevant to weather, climate, & ocean research & prediction.

If we believe that the way things are now is how they have always been, we lose the ability to imagine a return to previous abundance. Rhinos are no exception -- read more of my thoughts on dehorning, poaching, and the future of rhino conservation in Kruger. 🦏🇿🇦

This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.

Kudos to these scientists for sharing! I only just received an ADHD diagnosis, but looking back on my PhD, how could I not have known? I constantly procrastinated & then panic-finished analyses and writing in record time, all while fighting my brain to focus every single day. Exhausting.

"Making us less able to fight the biggest problem of the 21st century doesn't make anything more efficient and doesn't make anything great," Shiffman said.

As if “the economy” is separate from the clear need, including the ECONOMIC need, to address the #ClimateCrisis. This “false choice” framing is the most moronic argument an awful politician could make, and shame on any of us for falling for it.

The massive costs of INACTION are already inescapable.

AWESOME work by some incredible scientists. Papers like these that investigate how we think about and conduct our science are so important. Read, read, read it! Congrats to my grad school labmate Ren, @leafwarbler.bsky.social, and coauthors :)

wait this is awesome! I remember watching y'all have your first conversations about this :) now off to bother Ren for not mentioning on our catch-up call this Sunday that y'all got this published!!

C'mon, how many people are homeowners vs how many come across options when purchasing something to add a carbon offset? I get what you're saying here, but that's a glaring misread.
