We competed in a trivia night with our local @uasoutheast.bsky.social branch here in #Ketchikan and won these awesome mugs as a result! Our team (the Quantificators) tied for first. The tie-breaking question was to list 5 countries that hosted both winter and summer Olympics.

Although the majority of people around the world are worried about climate change, most still feel it is a future issue or one that only affects the natural environment. They couldn’t be more wrong: climate change is already affecting what’s on our kitchen counter!

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.
