Developers of curriculum - what is your go-to place for scientific illustrations? When putting slides together I'm constantly web searching for grainy images of biomolecules and trees, or making janky powerpoint roots and hyphae. Any tips or is this how everyone does it?

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle hoping to speak with scientists who were impacted by the government firings. Specifically NOAA scientists, especially those in California. Open to hearing from you on the record, off the record or anonymously. email: [email protected] DMs open

💯 these and similar moves go way beyond funding for scientific research. They are challenging the separation of powers.

What do scientists think about their role on a planet in crisis? How engaged are they in climate action, and what barriers do they see to getting more involved? Thanks to @researchersdesk.bsky.social for recording my talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTvP... Slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1cAjC...

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

If you are 1) a federal civil servant/contractor ordered not to release scheduled data or reports, or 2) an academic who has lost access to government data in the past week ...please get in touch. I'm happy to keep our conversations confidential. crampell[@]washpost[dot]com

Disobedience is always an option. You may also consider malicious compliance, where you comply so hard or in such a way that it exposes how silly the edict is. @scientistrebellion.bsky.social @srti.bsky.social climatedisobedience.org

I discovered the world of climate comedy thanks to @maxboykoff.bsky.social & @mattywin.bsky.social - and it is so therapeutic! I’d love to curate a starter pack on climate & humour, but I only have 3 accounts, with @belinaraffy.bsky.social. Baba Brinkman + Chuck Nice aren’t here. Suggestions? 🧵

BREAKING: young Angelenos who fled wildfires are occupying the Phillips 66 facility demanding oil & gas companies pay to rebuild LA. These companies make climate change worse while raking in TRILLIONS of $$ each year. They profit while we lose our homes. That must end.

Ecology people! I need your recommendations for textbooks/educational material for introductory grad-level ecological statistics. I have my favorite tomes from 10 years ago, but they probably need an update. I'm also planning to include practical applications with R, and a short intro to ML.

Part of this message is to be brave, but I also think bravery is only possible if we add one more danger response to the canonical four of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. organize

In his final weeks in office, President Biden protected 625 million acres of vulnerable areas of the ocean from oil and gas drilling — in a way that incoming president-elect Donald Trump can't easily undo.
