OTD in 1962, Silent Spring was published. “Nature has introduced great variety into the landscape, but man has displayed a passion for simplifying it. Thus he undoes the built-in checks and balances by which nature holds the species within bounds.” ― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Heartbroken to see that UC Davis Stable Isotope Facility is closing in a couple days after nearly three decades of service. UCDavis SIF was integral to the research I did before and during my PhD. They made stable isotopes accessible even for small scale projects, and will be sorely missed. 🧪

Email screenshot that reads: "Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Clients of SIF, We are writing to inform you that UC Davis will be permanently closing the Stable Isotope Facility on July 26, 2026. Beyond this date, SIF staff emails and other SIF contacts (e.g., sif@ucdavis.edu) will no longer be monitored. If, after the closure date, you have questions about billing, data reporting, or sample disposition they can be directed to the Dept. of Plant Sciences Chief Administrative Officer, Madhu Sharma (mssharma [at] ucdavis.edu). We are sorry for any disruption this may cause in your research program and are proud to have supported your research over these past 28 years. Sincerely, The SIF Team"

Happy Friday! Look what I found while walking around the yard after some morning rain. These are fluted bird’s nest fungi ( #Cyathus striatus). They look like miniature bird’s nest with eggs. The “eggs” are spore sacs that eject millions of spores when raindrops hit them! Source: Wikipedia #fungi

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Forbes@forbes.com · 5mo ago

Scientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change—but Americans aren't buying it.

Graduation was yesterday and one of my students just sent me this, with the following: "I didnt get to show you yesterday, but I decorated my cap with the best piece of advice I've ever been given" I said this to him. He is quoting me, on his graduation mortarboard. I'm having very big feelings.

Graduation mortarboard printed with a stylized DNA double helix and the following quote: It's not about being smart. It's about being stubborn and being brave. That, in my opinion, is what makes a good scientist.

On Friday, the Trump administration fired the National Science Board, a move that continues it's politicization at NSF and risks further interference at the nation's premier scientific research agency. My thoughts in a new post: blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...

Cutting Science Out: Trump Administration Fires National Science Board Members

This is an attempt to silence independent scientists, shut down evidence-based decision making, and keep the public in the dark.
