🚨 The Canadian Association of University Teachers has just advised against any non-essential travel to the United States.🚨 Was doing this anyway, but still shocking to see it officially in writing. www.caut.ca/latest/2025/...

Scoop with @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social: The president's sweeping travel freeze has blocked hundreds of academics serving temporary stints at the National Science Foundation from visiting their home institutions, leading many to consider leaving the agency. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

The folks at Berkeley Earth do great work, and now they're trying to step in and partly fill the space left by NOAA cancelling its monthly briefings. Recommended!

🌍 À l’horizon 2050, la trajectoire de réchauffement de référence pour l’adaptation au changement climatique considère pour la France un réchauffement de +2,7 °C par rapport à la période préindustrielle. Comment cela se traduit-il en termes d’impacts sur nos territoires ? 👉 tinyurl.com/3tue25cx

#sécheresse en Allemagne la période allant de février à la mi-avril 2025 est la moins arrosée depuis le début de l'indicateur national 🇩🇪 (1931) avec seulement 40 L/m2 de pluie, battant le record de 1976 (55 L/m2). Ces conditions sèches ont concerné une très large partie de l'Europe du nord.

Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Selon des documents internes obtenus par CNN, l’administration Trump prévoit *d’éliminer* la branche recherche de la NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), de fermer tous les laboratoires consacrés à la météo et au climat, et de sabrer son budget. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

Cuts to #science of >50% at NASA and >75% at NOAA would end US climate and space science research. NASA cuts are '...an "extinction level" event': arstechnica.com/space/2025/0... "At this funding level, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research is eliminated...": www.science.org/content/arti...

The Trump admin axed a key government climate science program because it provided a solid body of research to support public health protections and frustrated industry. The administration is considering a new report touting the "benefits" of global warming. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

🌊⚠️ The #ocean is nearing critical tipping points and #science must guide our collective response. Ahead of #UNOC3, the ISC has released science-based priorities from its expert group to inform the Ocean Declaration and support urgent, coordinated action: council.science/news/science....

The NSF's flagship fellowship program typically gives offers to 2,000+ young scientists. This year, in the face of looming budget cuts, that number was halved: only 1,000 received an offer. Our story on what that means for the science talent pipeline: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

the @chronicle.com has launched what is going to be a tremendously useful tool: a tracker of the Trump administration's activities affecting higher ed, particularly in the areas of civil rights, research, policy, and immigration. check it out: www.chronicle.com/article/trac...

Dimanche 13 avril, des réactions hydrologiques notables pour la saison ainsi qu'une crue avalancheuse sont à attendre dans les Alpes du Sud. En cause, un épisode de température anormalement élevé, suivi de pluies abondantes jusqu'à haute altitude. 🧵1/8

Our funding model, in which students are dependent upon PIs to bring in their salaries, is broken and was called out in a 2018 Academies report on sexual harassment in academia. This is a big move in wrong direction.

Dismantling the US Global Change Research Program is, alas, no surprise. USGCRP and the National Climate Assessment have long been on the radar for the Trumpists. But they don’t want to eliminate it. They want to use it for their own ends. [1/11] www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
