Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.
After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

Comments
-> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.
More soon. It will be okay.
This US government doesn't care about reality.
My rant about AGW to friends & family two years ago, includes your name on a short list of people that I felt could help inform them with their own research.
Hope this somehow leads to better opportunities for you!

Trying to do my own thing.
I hope you can continue to educate people about the effects of climate change.
I know of few others whose work is as much in the public interest as your work is!
Things going on in the US right now that not even the «Hollywood think-tank» post 9.11.2001 would have thought of.
Sorry they’re doing this to you.
Sorry that you lost your job.
Go get vocal about it with someone who can put your story out there.
I’d never heard of Eunice Foote.
Right on time for Women’s “Her”story
Month!
Thank you for your work! I’m so sorry you lost your dream job & hope you find another you love.
I would like to say, this presentation that you didn’t get to do ,looks really great !
Just went through the slides With your narration ,the presentation probably goes to spectacular
The level of complete lunacy is appalling and the real democratic world is with all that are suffering the consequences of having this evil party running things in the US! I just wonder what can be done to stop them? Civil War?
So if we survive Musk, we better be very clear about how our monetary system works

So sorry to hear your news.
- the Rodney and Tamatea Times ("Coal Consumption Affecting Climate", 1912), a tiny local paper from Warkworth, New Zealand still in existence today. Began in 1901 on a hand press.
- Fortran 90!
But sharing it here gives you a release in these circumstances and we are here to listen!!!
Stories matter!
I'm sure everyone they're kicking out got the same summary.
Is there a way you can get together with your fellow
I am so sorry for you and all your colleagues who got the boot! If Germany/the EU was smart, we'd double or triple our research budgets snap you all up. And you'd, for once, get proper health insurance 🤷
This must be prioritised at all times.
Actual facts and knowledge are utterly irrelevant in 2025.^
Stay strong until the system finds a way to fire them. Perhaps we should all send them a letter?
It is very important to all of us that people in your position make very clear how much your collective job losses will cost us, in science, research, accurate forecasting, disaster management, and so on.
Unfortunately, psychotics have taken over America.
Move overseas, where they will appreciate your efforts to save this planet.
It’s abundantly clear who’s “running” the government.
You ruffled the wrong feathers. "Wrong" being ignorant assholes'.
Oh, that's bullshit!
This is sucking more and more each day!
And hold tight, new court ruling just announced calling layoffs illegal. Finally some sanity is prevailing.
GOD DAMN THEM.
Oh I hate them.
It's just so stupid.
Do not ever doubt that your work was important.
you work is invaluable and history will honor you.
I believe you will rise up when you're ready and able.
And find your other dream job via a new journey. ✨️
Please consider to emigrate to a European country to continue your important work! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Somehow we'll fix this. Good will win.
Hang in there and know you're not alone!

Go have a happy life — the very best revenge. Fuck ‘em both.
I hope you can get your job back and soon. Wishing you well.

Hard to believe you won't be snapped up by a smart organisation.
This angers me on so many levels.
The corp tries to play it safe in their communications, in case you talk to an attorney.
So sorry to hear of this garbage in your life. I betcha the headhunters will love to get you for their biz!
Cheers, and again...so sorry.
Sadly, the blunt truth is that we are at war. It’s a war of truth and rationality and science versus the forces of plutocracy, demagoguery, disinformation and anti-science.
They are winning early, but It’s going to be a long war.
Your oppression is their profession
I hope that you will somehow be able to share your work. Very difficult times.😪
I also have over half a dozen publications in the middle of the peer review process, so more research to come too.
Another proof your work is in the public interest...
This sucks.
I hope it goes ok

Hope you'll quickly find a solution. No doubt many labs in Europe will be very glad to have you!
I allready followed you on X and your publications were enlighting to me as teacher for math and climate change
Your skills are so necessary for our future.
All the best 🙏
So many good people doing really important stuff getting persecuted by idiots who don't understand.
Wishing you strength and better fortune for the future.
Stay united and fight against these criminals!
For you and for all of us.
We need NOAA.
We need the wonderful people who do the work that needs to be done by NOAA.
To me as a German, the echoes of the 1930s can be heard clearly.
This is all grotesque.
I’m really resenting the people who had something better to do than vote last November.
The wrecking ball taking out our government continues. I’m sorry your job was an early fatality. Sending you energy for strength and courage.
Let us know if we can help
Very very sorry for you, for your colleagues, for science, for the environment, and ultimately for all the people who will suffer from greed replacing science-based policies.
All the Best for you🍀
I‘m so sorry.
I hope that kind of attack against science won't happen were in France.
Sure you'd be welcome if you happened to cross the ocean
Note that I don’t have aerosol equivalents for submarine water vapor emissions so I eyeballed based on the perturbation from trend
No idea why.
Enjoy.

This administration is pure evil in some ways.
Disabling America's ability to do science 🧪 only helps our adversaries
Good Speed to you & all of Team.#Science
BTW - Canada, Europe, Australia r wonderful places to do research😉🔬
