Texas institutions could lose over $310 million in #research funding under the #NIH's new reduction of money for “indirect cost”. California faces cuts of more than $800 million. A pharmaceutical sciences professor breaks down the impact on both red and blue states: https://buff.ly/430uqcy 🧪🩺

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

My grandmother suffered permanent eye damage when she had measles in the 1910s. It’s a horrible shame that this could now happen to children today - over 100 yrs later.

Ugh - this is very shit - sorry US colleagues who are facing these threats, and actions. Removing iconography, closing employee resource groups, and suspending/firing people with expertise in making things more fair - these actions do not represent progress. 🧪 physicsworld.com/a/us-science...

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

The real reason confidence in science (still high) is dropping is the intensive propaganda campaign by Trump and the GOP to ignore, disavow, or dispute science when it conflicts with their economic interests and drive for power. Read this: www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Megathrust anniversary! 325 years today, the Cascadia subduction zone had a massive mag 9-class earthquake that launched an enormous Pacific-wide tsunami. We know this through the incredible geo-sleuthing of Brian Atwater, David Yamaguchi, Kenji Satake and many others. ⚒️🧪

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

And so it begins again. I remember what it was like being a female physics/geology student before Title IX took effect. I am one of the many “girls” that STEM profs had to “waste” time educating 50+ yrs ago.

Remember, there have been planetary alignments without earthquakes. If someone says that this one is going to cause an earthquake the answer is, NO.

Diners are not only great for thinking and inspiration, they’re also a great place to grade papers - you’re left alone, the table in the booth let’s you spread out, the iced tea is bottomless. Just make sure you leave a huge tip for tying up the table for a few hours.
