Okay, nerds, buckle in! It's time for some SCIENCE. Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments. 1/x

So has anyone heard back about NSF Post-doctoral Research Fellowships in Biology? Mine is still listed as "pending". I'm trying to figure out if I haven't heard because I'm out of the running, or simply because the NSF is a hot mess right now.

Thanks to a loud public outcry and a relentless media campaign from outdoors influencers the Trump administration is reversing its plan to eliminate thousands of national parks jobs. Amazing work everyone. Keep speaking up, it matters!

You know that "Napoleon" quote Trump posted? It's credited to Napoleon right before he crowned himself emperor but it was made popular by white supremacists in 2011 by Anders Behring Breivik, the white supremacist terrorist who killed 77 people, many of them children, on an attack at a summer camp.

I've worn my "Immigrant" shirts in public since 1/20. Problem: I live on a farm in a big forest and rarely see people. So: Are you an immigrant who would wear such a shirt, or, if not an immigrant, would you wear the "Welcome" one? Your shirt, my ink, no charge but a promise to wear it. #charleston

Journalists, grow a spine. Yesterday there was an illegal mass firing of federal workers, not a "layoff". The fork offer was not a "buyout" but a deferred resignation preventing individuals from suing the federal government. Words have meaning, use them appropriately.

If you have a Google account, there's a handy way to provide feedback (little question mark at the top, feedback at the bottom of the menu). Would be a shame if they were inundated with messages about this and the error on their maps re: Gulf of Mexico. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe I've missed it, but is anybody filing lawsuits about what's happening at NIH/NSF?? Given that much of what is happening violates an act of Congress, this seems like a no-brainer for a judge to step in and stop this, at least for the moment.

Does anyone on bluesky have experience bear-proofing environmental data loggers (specifically PAR and soil moisture) without compromising functionality? Bears at our sites have extensively damaged seed and camera traps already, so hoping to get ahead of them this year.

I never taught about the importance of NIH/NSF in any of my classes before. Well, you can be sure that this week I am doing just that. So few students even realize how significant these agencies are to everyone, not just research scientists, and it is good to see their reactions to the pauses. 🧪
