🧪 Is a US science brain drain beginning? Nature data reveals a 32% jump in US scientists applying abroad (Q1 2025) amidst funding cuts. Interest in Canada, Europe, and Asia is up; interest in US jobs is down.

I was proud to be a federal scientist at the USGS for 33 years. "Earth science in the public service" meant I could focus on creating and explaining science for public officials and providing public education, not just educating students at one university. theconversation.com/us-earthquak...

The federal website sharing public health information about COVID-19 vaccines, treatment, and testing has been replaced with one dedicated to theories about “the true origins of Covid-19”. The White House wouldn't say where the public should now go for information and recommendations on COVID-19.

The funding cuts to science are obviously catastrophic, but this really illustrates how unfair research funding is in the first place 🧪

🧪⚒️ Two days after the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar, what have we learned? Rapid seismological analyses shared by scientists suggest that the rupture was both longer and faster than expected - two factors that could have increased damage. Read more: earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/updates-on...

Thurmond's filibuster was performative. He read from the Encyclopedia. Cruz's filibuster was performative. He read from Dr. Seuss. Cory Booker spoke issues and history and people's needs for over 24 hours. Nothing performative. He may have just started to pull us out of this mire.

Trump is back at Mar-a-Fraudo this weekend playing golf games. It costs about $3M to transport a POTUS from DC to South Florida. That's enough money that USAID could feed around 250,000 kids for two weeks.

Hundreds of @nws.noaa.gov employees were fired last week, including meteorologists at more than 120 offices who issue life-saving weather warnings throughout America and its territories. The weather service costs the average taxpayer $4/yr and is one of the best return-on-investments for Americans.
