Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...

They just kicked USGS Hawaii Volcanoes Observatory out of their leased building. FYI they are in that building b/c an eruption ruined the last one, while they were still monitoring and informing the public about the eruption and threats to human lives. Who needs eruption information, I guess?

Congress has just released a list of federal DOI offices to be closed under the ongoing massacre of our natural resource agencies -- it's extensive and includes many important NPS, BLM, USGS and USFWS facilities across the country. Truly horrific. democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

“Huckleberries rely on winter snow and proliferate from regular fires set by the River People & other Indigenous peoples who also created & maintained huckleberry fields. Fire nourished the acidic soil & cleared out trees so that the shrubs had enough water & sunlight to blossom & produce berries.”

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

🇨🇦: Even when plants close their stomata, they still lose water—but how much depends on temperature. Researchers found that at high temperatures, leaves shift from stomatal to cuticular water loss, influencing plant survival in drought-prone landscapes. #CriticalZone

"This feels like the early days of the pandemic, except there's less I can do about it", a colleague told me yesterday. Yep. One thing you can do is outreach. My sense is that the majority of the country doesn't yet understand the scale or the stakes of what is happening. We have to tell them:

Saddened to see people who chose to serve this country being callously let go! I'm always looking for postdocs & research staff - I normally use this for PhD students but feel free to add you information. And if I can't hire your directly, I am more than happy to refer you to any opportunity.

It felt good to get out in the streets, even in a really non-confrontational way. If you're feeling paralyzed by the moment, I recommend doing literally anything. Don't worry about if it's the perfect strategic action. Just get your legs moving toward the fight.

I was laid off this morning from USFWS as part of the sweeping DOGE cuts to probationary employees across the Dept. of Interior. To say I'm devastated doesn't even scratch the surface-I'm losing my dream job working with pallid sturgeon on the Missouri River. Solidarity with all my fed workers. 💔🐟

Many don't know that USFWS runs the world's only wildlife forensics lab. Yes, that's right, the only one in THE WORLD. It's also the official wildlife crime lab for CITES and Interpol. It's an amazing place staffed by amazing and conscientious scientists and one of our underappreciated crown jewels.

[Update: I am slightly amending original thread for accuracy, which is important amid chaos. There are some conflicting reports, though I have personally heard from many people in roles below who were fired in the last 24 hours (and many more were told "they're on the list").]

I resent that people are saying it's just "desk jockies" who were fired from the Forest Service. No. These were field techs and timber markers and people who served on militia fire crews as a collateral duty. They're also the people that keep IMTs running. Logistics, comms, planning, READs etc.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵
