We are speechless. 🌊 We lost so many from the #OceanAcidification #mCDR team and so many other #NOAA departments today.

submitted 1 day ago • 3 comments

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Another example of what cutting science funding is doing to our leading university research programs in the U.S.: dismantling things like the Soybean Innovation Lab at UIUC, which have made US crop yields dramatically higher.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

They tried this in 2016. There was a big mobilization by scientific societies and us calling representatives, and they stopped. Call your senators. Call them every day. On every issue. Some of them actually care about science because America first or whatever. Use it to protect your trainees.
