Remember in math class when your teacher always said you have to show your work? Yeah I’ve been think about that a lot this week. If you don’t share the data, you don’t share the math, and don’t provide the sources, then we do not trust you. #openscience #openmath

I don’t know who needs to hear this but in my professional experience, even the best databases have a 0.1-1% unintentional error rate (that’s an A+). & 1% of a big number is also a big number So if you have $50 trillion of transactions and a 0.1% typo rate= $50 billion would need curation 🧮🤯🙈🧪

NOAA is in the Trump administration's crosshairs. You know the important work they do, but may now know that It's the descendant of the Coast Survey, the nation's first scientific agency, founded in 1807 under Jefferson. I spoke with maritime historians to put NOAA's legacy in context. 🧪🦑🌎🐟

Trying to manage a team of scientists during this time is utter madness. Planning for future scenarios between: we won’t have jobs tomorrow to let’s organize the cruise logistics in 2026. Every meeting delegating last person standing tasks. Privileged to still have the opportunity to plan at all🥲

Today some of the smartest, dedicated, humble, & outstanding scientists I know got fired or noticed the axe is at their neck. We deny science at our peril. Humanity deserves better. Facts>idiocy. It won’t be tomorrow, but science and kindness always wins. This is their villain origin story 🌊💙🧪🥄💀

I know it feels for many folks like we have been spending years building what now seems to be a sand castle in the face of a Hurricane. Don’t discredit all the work in learning how to build and grow it- save the blue prints! we’ll need to them to rebuild. Keep the lights on as long as you can 🌊🧪🥺🥲

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Friendly reminder that the NOAA National Weather Service provides information to American taxpayers free of charge to prevent loss of life and limb. As a diver & backpacker it has saved my life more than a hundred times The weather app on your phone just repackages the data in a nice font. 🌊🧪🥶🥵☔️⛈️🌈
