TLDR: the administration wants to remove habitat loss from the definition of "harm" for endangered species, which will effectively gut the ESA. I just commented. If you're in any way interested in ecology, nature, and the protection of endangered species, you should, too. Free daily action!

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context. There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

The rationale for this cancellation is climate denial. There is no dressing it up, there is no tiptoeing around it. Yet climate change doesn’t care if we believe it. It will destroy our homes, multiply insurance rates, wreak economic havoc and more — regardless of our opinions or voting record.

One year ago today, but it somehow feels both longer and shorter than a year.

🌦️We're expecting some light rain in the North Bay Sunday night and the 7-day forecast looks dry after that. So, is the rainy season over? https://x.com/NWSBayArea/status/1908700218490495063

But this April doesn't look normal. The long range outlooks are leaning dry. While it's far too early to say definitively, there's a chance we won't get substantial rain for quite some time. https://x.com/NWSBayArea/status/1908700223683154033

The literal 'canaries in the coal mine' our ecological life support system are disappearing across the country (and the world), yet people are much more concerned about the price of eggs, or just about anything else other than reality. 🌏

Yesterday when I talked to @maxkozlov.bsky.social about this, I wondered which of my NIH-funded colleagues would have their grants cut. All of them. Research on pandemic viruses has now ground to a screeching halt in the US. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’ve now been asked about the USDA H5N1 action plan quite a few times, so maybe I should say a few things about it. There are a few things I like about it, more things I don’t, and some things about it that are completely WTAF. This is the 5 step plan:
