#eDNA job alert!!

The USGS plays a critical role in monitoring rivers nationally. As scientists we rely on the data to understand, for example, how streams that had historic flooding during Hurricane Helene are recovering (& the people who rely on them). Ask your reps to keep them open! ww2.aip.org/fyi/usgs-fac...

This is both anti-Semitic and anti-Palestinian. Trump has no right to tell other people what their religion or ethnicity is.

Work with me on getting depth-discrete profiles of water quality using high-frequency loggers and microCTD measurements! And then let’s be creative to infer mechanisms that could improve mechanistic modeling.

I wanted to learn more about my family’s history in Cambodia and got tickets to “Cambodian Rock Band” (a part-play part-concert). It covered Cambodia’s ‘70s rock music culture and the country’s heartbreaking history. I was wowed by the whole performance. If you’re in LA, I highly recommend it.

ANSIRH is seeking a graduate student in California to work closely with faculty and staff on a short-term ArcGIS project to collect, visualize, and map data that will further our understanding of abortion care in California.

Same for both

‘I’m Heartbroken’: CA Scientists Left Adrift by Mass Federal Layoffs at NOAA Their stories are similar and heart-wrenching. The early-career federal workers are planning marriages, recently signed mortgages and were saving to buy their first homes. @kqednews.kqed.org www.kqed.org/news/1202979...

Media orgs that oppose authoritarianism and media orgs that accept it. That's the choice every media organization faces. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/all-media-...

Astonishing that four SCOTUS justices think the president can order the federal government to refuse to pay congressionally-appropriated funds to contractors for *work already completed.* And in fact they’re “stunned” that anyone would disagree.

40 days? I haven’t been since January.

For folks looking for work in the forest/watershed management sector: The Sierra Institute (in beautiful Plumas County, CA) is hiring: sierrainstitute.us

You know how you thought SF was all tree-hugging hippies? Yeah, no. They just got SCOTUS to weaken the Clean Water Act even further.

Protip: I created this Luigi Glare stencil back when it was a meme for people to carve into their Halloween pumpkins, but it could just as easily be used for any DIY project, like spray painting it punk-style onto a t-shirt, or onto a poster, or onto a picket sign... archive.org/details/luig...

I'm late to pick up on this fact, but the lawyer who famously argued that President Trump would be immune from criminal charges if he ordered Seal Team Six to kill a political opponent, John Sauer, is going to be our new Solicitor General.

Kind of telling how quickly news media organizations started using “Gulf of America” but they still can’t seem to do the same for Türkiye.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare. Honored to have their trust with this story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

I get the speed & brutality of massive destructive power grabs but I have yet to see anything that explains in any way how Trump to say nothing of musk are free to operate purely by malign fiat, untwisted, as sole owners of a country that had rules & cops & g-men & bench warrants til three weeks ago
