We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW. Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze. Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

Now that the US govt is self sabotaging all its research organisations and programs, including the department of energy, independent researchers have to hold the line of truth against power. The media is definitely not treating it like the crisis it absolutely is.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We need to stop saying “road safety is a shared responsibility.” Highway engineers, automakers, and policymakers have the power to reduce the sky-high number of US crash deaths. Individual road users don't. My latest in @fastcompany.com 🧵 www.fastcompany.com/91233037/who...

American cities spending public funds for better benefits to private car ownership make ZERO sense. Public funds should go to things that the public can benefit from. The worst part is that this policy position is highly controversial in America!
