🌊 Ocean science community: NSF requests input on ocean observing priorities by 9/30/26. Importantly, this is not just about the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI)! This request for input also includes GO-SHIP (repeat hydrography) and BGC-Argo. Your input matters. www.nsf.gov/funding/info...

It’s a point that has been made before: These people are here without authorization only because the administration revoked it. It is as if Trump were somehow to strip citizenship from every Democrat.

Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · last mo.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

Join Eco-DAS XVII in Honolulu, Hawai`i from 21-25 September 2026. The Eco-DAS Symposium is designed for early career researchers to help them build valuable connections and boost their professional journey! Applications are due August 21, 2026. www.aslo.org/call-for-app... #EcoDAS #ECR

Although the Office of Management and Budget grantmaking rule is not final, the National Science Foundation is updating its guidance to align with it and requesting public comments. Researchers: speak up and submit comments on the impact of this rule. 🔗 Take action: spklr.io/63329ERRJX

🌊 Job Alert in Argo! @euro-argo.eu is looking for a Technician for Argo float operations! Join the team supporting one of the world’s leading ocean observing programmes. 📅 Apply by 1 September 2026 👉 www.euro-argo.eu/News-Meeting... @argofrance.bsky.social #OneArgo #Argofloats

@soccomproject.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social 🌊The commentary by Dove et al (bit.ly/4fd2whZ) on the future of Argo comes at a critical moment for US Argo. GO-BGC, the major US BGC-Argo project funded by NSF completes all float deployments in 3 months. 1/3

🌊 Every day, ~4,000 Argo floats observe the world’s oceans. They provide essential, open and freely available data that improve weather forecasts, early warnings systems, and climate predictions. Behind this network: more than 30 yrs of scientific effort. Thanks to all those who keep Argo alive!

Can you imagine the uphill battle facing new PIs? Postdocs? PhDs finishing and looking for a job? "[The memo] directs the section’s 15 program managers to stop seeking funding for any proposals... “until we are able to provide more details.”

Been wondering why NSF isn't spending most of its FY26 appropriation? A $1.5B tech initiative may be the reason. And big cuts to hundreds of research programs could be just the beginning of the bad news. www.science.org/content/arti...

SOCAT v2026 is released today, with 2.8 million new observations! Download the new version from socat.info/index.php/ve... The annual poster summarising the key points of the release (including the continued decline in observation coverage) is available: socat.info/wp-content/u...

🌊 For 77 years, CalCOFI has been taking the pulse of the California Current, creating the world’s longest-running marine ecosystem monitoring program & one of science’s best ocean archives. @rosannaxia.bsky.social of LA Times shares more about the crucial program. ⤵️ https://lat.ms/4vqAw1v

This hidden gem in ocean science unlocked the secrets of El Niño

Nowhere else on the planet has such a large swath of ocean been studied as thoroughly and for so long, and much of our modern approach to oceanography can be traced back to this hidden gem.

Still on pace: one death roughly every six days in ICE custody. Reminder: gov't thugs are plucking innocent migrants -- often legal ones! -- off the street, kidnapping them, putting them in concentration camps, & allowing many of them to die. On our watch, in our names, with our money.

ICE Reports 15th Detained Death of 2026 at Miami Correctional Center in Indiana

Tuan Van Bui, the son of a U.S. soldier in Vietnam, died in detention on April 1. He is the second person to die at Miami CC this year and continues the morbid pattern of one ICE death every 6.0 days.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

Flying from Zürich to LA yesterday we followed a great circle route north over Greenland. I happened to look out the tiny window in the door and saw this awe-inspiring view of Baffin Bay. I've never before gotten to see sea ice during this melt period - leads forming, water exposed.. 🌊

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war

That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.

$200 billion could fund the National Science Foundation for 20 years.
