We just got an email that Hopkins is freezing salaries, hiring, and some construction projects. In addition to the 800 million USAID we lost, we’ve had another 50 million in grants canceled so far. And a 2/3 year over year decline in funded grants despite an increase in submissions

These are the employees of NASA/GISS on the day Mr. Trump spitefully evicted the whole institute from its offices, leased from Columbia University, above an iconic corner diner.

No more #NASA Public Affairs funding at field centers and a big cut at NASA HQ. Even though NASA PAO has no real idea how to communicate, at a time when you want to #MakeAmericaGreatInSpace, cutting outreach budgets is a dumb idea. #EmbraceTheChallenge y'all.

"NASA’s primary role is space exploration and, similar to prior generations that were inspired by the Apollo lunar landings, NASA will inspire the next generation of explorers through exciting, ambitious space missions. The FY 2026 budget proposes no funding for NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement."

We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA. I'll share what I hear, but remember: CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House. So whatever happens today, the fight continues.

In this insane world, i had a great pleasure to spend 10 days with amazing students and instructors of #NASA and @umaine.bsky.social Ocean Optics Class... While many things depress me these days, these young scientists give me a reason to fight for the future of ocean and earth science.

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/4dwzl8j

Inspired by Vietnam-era activism, Stand Up For Science is hosting a series of teach-ins around the USA this summer, focusing on the importance of science and science funding. I’m doing one May 30th in Silver Spring. Many of you should consider doing one too, and I’m happy to help you plan it 🦑🧪🌎

#scam I paid @Climeworks £1,650 to remove 2 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Was I a gullible idiot? Yes. Icelandic newspaper @heimildinhas shown that they not only haven’t captured my 2 tons, they don’t even capture their own emissions heimildin.is/FGY3 via @heimildin
