NSF cancelled our flood justice network today. I’m of course devastated. But the work will continue. We were already creating a network and we won’t stop now! @socialpixel.bsky.social P.S. there’s nothing woke about creating solutions for communities that flood. And saves the govt money!!!!

Lots of other things going on and geopolitics is way beyond my expertise but glad to see some mainstream folks pushing back on the disturbingly widespread desire for another Cold War overcast.fm/+ABLShO7PaNM

The plan “…eliminates NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Office and its 10 research laboratories and 16 affiliated Cooperative Institutes…one only needs to see what NOAA research has provided to the U.S. taxpayer and imagine where we would be without…” www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Cancelling an excellent scientific program because their findings are displeasing is NOT a good sign

The story of this man's abduction and deportation to a brutal El Salvador prison, without any due process—and apparently by mistake!—is the stuff of nightmares, literally ripped from some dystopian fiction. Kafka or Orwell. Or Stalin's Russia. Hitler's Germany. Or apparently, Donald Trump's America.

The frustration when you agree to review a paper because the abstract seems relevant and exciting, but then you download it and it's more 😬

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

You may not recognize it at first, but life in this country will never be the same if people stop coming from abroad because they are not guaranteed protection under the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

I'm a researcher primarily in adaptation. We are not even adapted to where the climate is today. If you think you can seawall your way through a 4°C planet, you are straight up dreaming. Mitigation AND adaptation, or you end up with way more of option 3 for dealing with climate change: suffering.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Over half of US forestry imports (lumber, plywood, etc) currently come from Canada. Cutting off that supply leads to increased housing costs (more expensive to build), increased insurance costs (more expensive to repair) and felling protected forests in the US to try to make up for it, apparently.

Unchecked discretion in spending money appropriated by Congress transforms the Executive into a pipeline of patronage: Drastic cuts in services, then exceptions in exchange for loyalty. Which is precisely why the framers, with care and vision, guarded the power of the purse for Congress.

This nails down well my unease with (what my academic friends tell me is) the ubiquity of AI cheating in schools. It's not just that lots of students don't have a problem cheating, but that they've apparently bought into a very sad, anemic idea of what education is for. thewalrus.ca/i-used-to-te...

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

NSF cuts jeopardize US leadership in science in general! This focuses on computing but it is not good for any area of science

One of the biggest areas of AI hype right now is the notion that it will hyperaccelerate scientific progress. I understand why people think this — AI is already accelerating scientific _production_. 🧵
