Science belongs to the public. That’s why it was so special to share our Community Science Data Talks project on public radio! When climate science and public media are under pressure, I’m reminded that informed, empathetic conversation is a form of civic action.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

No kings in Kansas City! Awesome! Let’s go! #nokings #kansascity

Oil prices spiked due to more aggression from a country currently committing genocide. Renewable energy prices were unaffected. Do you like entrusting your country's economy to the whims of genocidal maniacs? If not, you have options.

Education is a key climate solution. The @waclimetime.bsky.social teacher educator network has engaged teachers in learning to teach climate over 35k times in 7 years. We need to continue that vital work! We would appreciate your support. www.climetime.org

Resist however YOU can. This was our (myself and one other faculty member) small act today. ✊✊ Small acts matter ❤️

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵
