Be aware that federal agents often infiltrate peaceful protests to instigate and provoke violence. These are agent provocateurs who should be treated as hostile actors. This video provides concrete proof of these embedded spies.

Another truly dark event for science.
The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.
The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.
We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

Just for fun, here's a stack of 4 long exposure photographs of the remarkable Ada, OK storm on 09-23-23. These images, which were all taken in a span of less than one minute, represent the intense electrical activity this storm exhibited. I doubt I'll ever see something like it again. #Photography

I've been inside of both a tornado and a volcano! This is a wide angle photo I shot from within the evacuated magma chamber of a volcano, roughly 400 ft below the surface, looking up toward the vent. If you look closely, you'll see the lift in the vent that brought me down! #Photography

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.
