Kudos. Would be swell to see this kind of verve from director Panchanathan

As an emergency manager - the cascading impacts of firing a bunch of federal employees, whose positions were each created specifically to fill an identified gap in service to the American People... This is a shortsighted decision that will have cascading impacts for generations.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle hoping to speak with scientists who were impacted by the government firings. Specifically NOAA scientists, especially those in California. Open to hearing from you on the record, off the record or anonymously. email: [email protected] DMs open

A lot of the people being let go are early career scientist–– our best and brightest who, until today, were on the ascendance, and contributing as the creative life force that makes the US the paragon of scientific and technological innovation... no more.

Quick question: has anyone seen the opposition party??? This all feels very familiar to those of us from Mexico, we had single party rule for 71 years. The opposition for most of my early life (and for the entirety of my parents generation) was about as effective as a screen door on a submarine

Heard that USGS Mendenhall postdocs who were in the probationary period are part of the round of layoffs. Anyone know if true?

Very well-reported article from @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social on why science as an institution has been so unprepared for all this My thought: as a community, we’ll do well to learn from folks in places like Texas and Florida who have already been through these all-out assaults

You what else doesn’t stop at the borders? TSUNAMIS. You know what else NOAA/National Weather Service does? It runs the National Tsunami Warning Centers.

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years: - 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US) - 20% decrease in wages - Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

The global seismographic network (GSN) is comprised of 150 state of the sites and is the primary source of data for the USGS National Earthquake Information Center and NOAA's tsunami warning centers. GSN is the backbone network for the planet. Its operation relies on significant grant funding

The National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) allows states and territories to make evacuation maps like this one and to create plans for what to do in case of a tsunami. NTHMP is at the core of how we prepare for the unthinkable and it is 100% grant funded.

NSF is people and I know many of them and know how deeply they care about the work they do. They are under enormous pressure so please remember the human. That being said, someone told me "NSF leadership is rolling over like an obedient puppy", and, well...

This is the Network of the Americas (NOTA). Upwards of 1000 high quality GPS stations used to monitor all big active faults that produce the biggest most damaging earthquakes as well as volcanoes from Mt. St. Helens to Yellowstone, etc. Every single on of them is grant funded.

It's called "anticipatory obedience" – acting to comply about a perceived something before there's any actual official pressure to do so. Been thinking about it... a lot.

These are the seismic stations of the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), the majority grant-funded, and operated by universities on behalf of the USGS. ANSS is used for routine EQ processing, its data informs the nation's seismic hazard map, and is the backbone earthquake early warning

Life maxim: When you hit 40 you have at least 2 injuries, always, all the time. If one gets better, you acquire a new one, you always have 2. Life becomes about managing those injuries so you can remain as active as you want to be.

Are you ready to get muddy? Our first Cores 2 Code (C2C) undergraduate summer research experience will take place in June 2025 @ Cal Poly Humboldt. We will delve into the earthquake and tsunami history of the Cascadia subduction zone through field, lab, and computational methods. See the link below!
