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. 🧪🦑🌎🐟

Canceling study sections will have real consequences for life-saving research, meaning it won’t be able to get to the people who need it most. Call your congress representatives, your governor, and tell your communities about the importance of science funding—and join us on March 7th. ☀️

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Terminated probationary federal employees who received a termination letter citing “low performance”, I encourage you to FIGHT BACK. I’ve heard of at least one person who wrote back with a list proving their high performance & essentiality and it worked. #FederalWorkforce 🧪🌎

NOAA ‘s publicly funded satellites, airplanes, radar, and weather stations provide the data behind most U.S. #weather forecasts. Atmospheric scientists explain why private companies would struggle to match this essential system, which Project 2025 has proposed privatizing.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Was excited to share my thoughts about this record of a spotted hyena in Egypt, 300 miles north of the nearest known spottie population! Though the hyena met an untimely end, this record shows how much more data collection is needed in this region.🍪🧪🌍 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/s...

does anyone (in CA, ideally but otherwise in the USA) know of either 1) an animal sanctuary where we could come and spend a day filming a show about the animals, or 2) a Black and/or Indigenous woman who works as an animal caretaker at such a place & would want to be on camera? hmu 🧪🌍

Hey science folks - it would be good to start compiling a list of funders who will still support environmental justice and DEIJ efforts while NIH and NSF are being hampered. Please add resources below if possible! 🧪🌎

Reiterating my call to fellow federally-funded scientists: Call your reps, tell them how this hurts science and everything good that comes from science (Also non-scientists, and scientists without federal funding! But the more of us who can directly speak to the impacts of these freezes the better)

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
