This one hits close to home for me. My mother has dementia. Although she is now deep into the diseases that have caused her memory loss, the idea that our country hindered work to find the solutions is just heartbreaking.

America spent a decade making real progress against #Alzheimer's disease. Then, in a matter of months, much of that work was put in jeopardy — not because the science failed, but because of political decisions in Washington. More: open.substack.com/pub/scilight... #health #science

Earlier this week, our own @kathyrest.bsky.social drove down a road she takes all the time. A short time later, a gunman walked down the middle of that very road and opened fire on passing cars and pedestrians. Read more: scilight.substack.com/p/the-state-...

NOAA’s value comes from an interconnected system of science, data, people, and partnerships that communities and businesses rely on every day, often without realizing it. Craig McLean makes the case plainly: these cuts are not for efficiency. They are sabotage. open.substack.com/pub/scilight...

This Earth Day, I’ve been thinking about what the crew of Artemis II shared during their recent mission: when you step far enough away, Earth doesn’t look vast or indestructible. It looks like what it is: A small, luminous oasis in a very dark place. More: greenbrittin.substack.com/p/seeing-ear...

I have been stonewalled by NOAA in recent weeks in my pursuit to obtain information for my reporting. All my interview requests have been declined and I have not been able to access NOAA events. Email responses like this are common. It’s tragic.

A week ago today, I was wrongfully fired along with hundreds of others by @noaa.gov. NOAA provides life-saving forecasts, critical climate data, and tools that protect lives, communities, and economies. The staff who remain need our support now more than ever. #SaveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.
