The amount of data that US science agencies collect, the fact that they share them, and the way they share them make US science second to none. The way Trump is destroying the science enterprise in the US will affect everyone in the world. Just check out what you can do with this tool from NASA.

When do the myriad of protests coalesce in large national protests? Hopefully sooner than later! We can’t wait much longer.

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

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

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

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.

I really hope we’re able to have elections in 2026 and 2028. The suffering is only going get much worse during this administration.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Without healthy oceans, we wouldn’t just be facing hardships, we’d be facing existential collapse. The loss of oxygen, food, climate stability, water cycles, and biodiversity would make the planet uninhabitable for humans within a few generations. If the oceans die, we die. This. Is. Extinction.

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all). But today I learn about Paromola cuvieri, one of the largest crab species of the Northeast Atlantic, that uses its last pair of legs to carry live specimens of sponges and corals 🦑 🌊

This is a fancy, diurnal, clear-winged moth sipping liquid from a leaf. Moths in this family often resemble stinging insects, but this species didn't get the memo. It went for jungle air-shrimp instead. #Inverts #MothMonday (Euryphrissa sp.) Tatama National Park, Colombia

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

X is for Xylopagurus. This hermit crab, found at depths of 170-475m, is WEIRD! Instead of a shell, they tunnel a hole into fallen bits of wood (how did it get down there?). Then they plug the end with their own butt (6th abdominal segment that is heavily calcified). #CrabAZ 🦀🧪🦑
