In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Tornadoes have mostly calmed down over the last month or so here in Italy, but today a waterspout, part of a family of three, managed to reach land W of Salerno, Campania. Damage very unlikely. Photos by Carlo de Felice

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.

This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation.
There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Vera Rubin has been selected to be featured on the back of a quarter. She is the first astronomer to be honored this way. Read about her research on the Andromeda galaxy and how it led to the discovery of dark matter in this article written by Rubin herself. doi.org/10.1063/1.24...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This is an attack on US science. NSF staff provide critical support for scientific infrastructure and global excellence. These are valuable dedicated public servants. Please contact your reps, write letters, make noise!
Are there any plans for rallies at NSF headquarters?
Journalists: COVER THIS!

Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.

How the Trump administration could end a century of American scientific dominance
Slashing federal funding for scientific research will have catastrophic and long-lasting impacts far beyond the laboratories where government research funds are spent.

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

Was at an event in DC this evening with a lot of federal employees and it is absolutely wrenching to talk to people who dedicated themselves to public service work through the appalling attacks and uncertainty that they are facing now.
