Seafood security is national security!

Support our well-managed, sustainable American fisheries to keep us from relying on illegal and unregulated seafood.

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:

1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Most on this site know that federal workers are good people who work hard.

But it's striking to see the data.

Federal workers put in more hours a week than anyone except military and self-employed.

Federal workers take fewer days off than almost any others

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update.

#Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

Last month was the *warmest* January on record globally.

It was also separately the warmest January for global land areas and the 2nd warmest for global ocean areas.
