Used the NYT "Lost Science" story about @profamymcgovern.bsky.social and NSF funding loss for AI2ES to take another look at how AI is making tangible progress to improve weather forecasts & warnings, making the admin's decision to cut funding for research even more enraging. tinyurl.com/3ynwwcyc
Meteorology is one area where AI shows real promise - so why is the Trump Administration cutting research funding
Severe weather risks remain elevated today across central US, and for East Coast on Sunday

John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.

From what I see, AMS isn't in this greedy cycle. They don't operate the journals as money makers (but they do have to break even and pay their staff to maintain quality and that seems to be missed by this!) #science www.zmescience.com/science/news...

Dumb question: what happened to Ian from capital weather gang and his account on here? Also he had a list that I had pinned.
Alan has it right - we had NOTHING to do with "climate hysteria" and the sudden inability to focus on trustworthy AI for weather is only going to hurt us. We need to find a way to fund this critical research!
Alan Gerard@wxmanms1.bsky.social · 10mo agoNPR ran a story last night about NSF terminating funding for AI focused meteorology research & the (IMO) insane explanation they got from OMB. I shared my perspective on this and our continued insistence to shoot ourselves in the foot when it comes to scientific R&D. tinyurl.com/2kzujwz8
