There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Google wouldn’t exist #WithoutNSF. Page and Brin started Google based on NSF-funded research they did at Stanford, which has made Stanford, Google, and lots of other people a lot of money. It’s made the rest of us stupid but that’s another topic.

😓 These are the folks who provide satellite imagery, maps, and geospatial support to American scientists that operate in polar regions where most satellites don’t reach. FOR DECADES they have done this, supporting critical work. They have helped me many times. This is terrible. #WithoutNSF

It’s important that all Americans realise what things would be like #withoutNSF This is your National Science Foundation that pays for scientific research and brought you things that you use and rely on in your daily lives. Without it, we will crumble as a nation. www.nsf.gov/impacts

“The American public needs to understand that you can’t just turn a science switch off and then turn it back on again,” said Rick Spinrad. Great reporting by @sachimulkey.bsky.social on the current dismantling of US scientific research capacity: what it means for now--and for future generations.

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

In 100 days in office, US President Donald Trump has destabilized eight decades of government support for science. This has included terminating more than 1,000 grants in areas such as climate change, cancer, and HIV prevention. Will US science survive Trump 2.0? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

An excellent article. The list of 60 universities the administration claimed to be investigating because of protests had one other thing in common: >$1B endowments. The “head down” approach won’t work. That list of 60 should work together, not each individually try to protect themselves.

Iceberg A23a pictured from the ISS. The space station is almost as far south as it can reach here (51.5° S, 49.0° W - altitude of 422km). Picture taken on 14 March, so the berg had been grounded at South Georgia for a fortnight by this time.

The Trump administration announced plans to expand drilling in the Arctic, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Interior Department stated it would begin steps to open the entire 1.56 million-acre Coastal Plain of the refuge to oil and gas exploration.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.
