I was about 4 days out from riding out Helene in a tent and a motorcycle in WNC. Timing worked out but without accurate forecasting I will be in a world of shit in future, to say nothing of folks whose whole livelihoods and families are up that way #tailofthedragon #motorcycle #motosky

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

There is a lot of science we can still do with just one LIGO site. Please don't think that only having one is useless. It is immeasurable better than having none! We are lucky that we do have an international network of observatories. This needs at least one LIGO to support the field ☄️⚛️🧪🔭

The House has passed the GOP's budget bill with the 10-year ban on state AI laws intact. If the provision survives reconciliation in the Senate, the California, Colorado, or any other state that sought to pass laws governing AI would be legally banned from doing so. This is what's behind the bill:

We have 2 DAYS left to comment and tell RFK Jr that we demand that everyone be able to get an updated covid vaccine/booster. There are currently 8k comments. Can we get it to 10k? Share widely, tell your friends to comment and push back. If we push back, they walk back.

Missile defense doesn't work, but at least it's stupidly expensive, has no appreciable spillover into other research, and in fact the pursuit of it actively makes nuclear war more likely.

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe. On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe. This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!) europa.eu/!6Vdgmp

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Respect for any country that just grabs every single US scientist it can, but doing that is on the scale of running the Manhattan Project and Operation Paperclip at the same time; I don't think any country can move money and resources around that fast.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Yeah apologies to some economists out here, it’s not a general purpose tech and every instance where it’s applied as one it only only deskills with a side of demoralization.
