We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

They do not care. They are reveling as if this is a victory for all Americans when every piece of evidence indicates otherwise. Fight. Fight till the end. Don’t just call your reps become the reps. Run for every office possible. We win this country by winning back all offices large and small.

NOAA family, please share: Linked is a crowdsourced document via r/fednews on Reddit with advice for terminated employees. Not perfect, but it’s at least something. Some kind of guidance in this horrible time. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Today’s firings from NOAA/NWS are unconscionable & make us all less safe. It is wild to see certain weather bros for the first time realize politics affects them. I hope this inspires them to be more proactively engaged in politics instead of loudly and proudly declaring themselves above politics.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Welp, I too was one of the NWS probationary folks that got terminated today. 8 years as an AWIPS contractor previously, I finally got the Fed job I had been wanting. Worked on implementing the next generation of capabilities for AWIPS. A lot of promising stuff coming that is now up in the air...

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.

It's the human aspect of this that wrecks me, after being in meteorology for 10 years and coming to love the people even more than the science. So much unnecessary burden on people who do this simply because: - think clouds are cool - don't want people to get killed by tornadoes - both

I used to be creative. Was an active filmmaker, actor, voice over, cosplay, writer. The past 6 years I’ve been so focused on getting through university I’ve given it all up. And now given the landscape it often feels like I gave it all up for nothing. It sucks not having time to start anew.

Today is #NationalWeatherPersonsDay. Meteorologists across all sectors of the science — federal, broadcast, aviation, climate (to name a few) — provide data and forecasts that keep us informed and prepared. Now, more than ever, it's imperative the work they do is recognized and not privatized.

Our weather enterprise is the envy of the world. Don’t ever forget that. It’s impossible to put a price tag on the pride your meteorology public servants have in their work. It’s why I describe NOAA/NWS/NCEP structure and operations in my 100-level classes with genuine pride.

Removing public access to census data means suddenly changing half of our labs in our GIS course now. Data that has been public and useful for years and years is suddenly being deleted or removed by a guy who was never elected to his position…

This is absolute insanity & untold levels of BS. Scientists work their flippin' tails off on these proposals w/only hopes that they'll be funded. Taking them away to comply w/the whims of "leaders" who are massively uninformed (to put it nicely) is the worst kind of insult & an affront to science.

It’s tough. Do I continue forward toward a PhD, do I decide to stop with a Masters and find a job now? The future is full of uncertainty and after pulling myself out of homelessness and working my fingers to the bone for 18 years I feel I deserve some stability but don’t know how to achieve it.

One thing I’m going to work hard to prevent is letting myself fall into that stupid generational trend of “we were never this dumb.” posting that I see everywhere. Somewhere along the line people seem to forget how new everything is to someone growing up. How exciting something different can be.

This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.
