Methane emissions from canals draining tropical peatlands: Constraining temporal variability and emissions pathways

Drainage canals are potential hotspots of methane (CH4) emissions from degraded peatlands in Southeast Asia. Estimates of CH4 emissions from these canals remain scarce, and both the temporal variabil...

Seeking advice! I know a GREAT student who was awarded the #NSF #GRFP in biogeochemistry but lacks a spot in a US PhD program. They have reached out to places where they were rejected. What would you advise them to do? Would anyone interested in #carbon & #nitrogen be willing to chat with them?

New study where McKenzie Kuhn, I and co-authors show that accounting for differences among wetland and lake types is crucial for estimating current and future boreal-Arctic methane emissions – out now in Nature Climate Change. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Current and future methane emissions from boreal-Arctic wetlands and lakes - Nature Climate Change

How much methane will be emitted from the boreal-Arctic region under climate change is not well constrained. Here the authors show that accounting for distinct wetland and lake classes leads to lower ...

🧪 The NSF director is lying to you. Let’s fact check 7 claims from yesterday’s letter to the community, while pointing out 3 critical omissions. 🧵

If they are really cancelling NSF REUs, then we need to change graduate admissions to exclude or minimize the importance of past research experience. There's just no way to compete unless you are well connected or monied otherwise.

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · last yr.

🚨 Many NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are being cancelled for Summer 2025. www.reddit.com/r/REU/commen...

if you’re 25 years old with control of the entire treasury system and you don’t delete every student debt file, you are the biggest loser the world has ever seen

Absolutely fucked up beyond all recognition. NSF has an insanely low administrative overhead. Laying off staff saves nothing and the cost to our leadership in scientific advancement (with massive public and business implications) will be long-lived and dire.

Social Media Lab@socialmedialab.ca · last yr.

NSF plans to lay off a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months. www.eenews.net/articles/sci... This reckless move will shatter U.S. scientific leadership and cripple innovation for generations.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

There's a postdoc in peatland biogeochemistry advertised on our project by Dolly Kothawala and Gustaf Granath at Uppsala University. I can highly recommend Uppsala as a place to live and work. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Excited to finally announce our new project, funded by Water4All Partnership and led by @hydrokoch.bsky.social. Looking forward to new collaborations and lots of peaty research.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts

The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

abcnews.go.com

Watching in real time how the policy of complying in advance actually reduces scientific productivity

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years: - 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US) - 20% decrease in wages - Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

Ben Stone@benstemon.bsky.social · 2y ago

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.

Really appreciate Jonathan Lambert pointing out that NSF grants are congressionally mandated to weigh how grants broaden participation in science, putting the administration's executive order against DEIA in conflict with, and potentially undermining, congressional legislation

Kevin Bird@stairwaytokevin.bsky.social · 2y ago

Some coverage from NPR All Things Considered www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them. Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

🚨PIs of Training Grants and Programs, ESPECIALLY training grants that support students from historically excluded groups (T32s and T34s, IMSD, MARC, PREP, MOSAIC, etc.)🚨 We need to push back on the loss of information and the disappearance of websites about these resources.
