Macbeth: SHIT

the bushes were people 😂

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

This was everything. #SuperBowlLX

Really excited to see this paper out!! Led by @vtcoop.bsky.social we show that if you use cold and warm paleoclimates together, you can reduce uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity by quantifying the pattern effect and more precisely constrain future climate change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Who I wonder is an "appropriate operator" for the Trump administration? 🤔 Will we be losing Derecho core hours to an AI company? 🤦‍♀️ #SaveNCAR

The latest unhinged threat from the Trump administration would destroy the best climate modeling center in the world. It would also be a blow to US researchers (including me) who depend on NCAR's modeling expertise and educational training programs for students. #SaveNCAR www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/c...

A proposed Amazon data center in Tucson (“Project Blue”, FFS) that would have sapped power and water from the city has been REJECTED thanks to amazing community solidarity. The people of the desert have spoken and won ✊🌵🏜️

Yana Kunichoff@yanak.bsky.social · 12mo ago

The Tucson city council unanimously rejected the Project Blue data center today. That comes after weeks of dogged organizing plus our little team @azluminaria.org going hard on helping Tucson understand who was behind this project and its impact on our community azluminaria.org/2025/08/06/t...

struggling with an analogy here but imagine NASA posting a meme about how excited they are to return aviation to the pre-jet age

This @wired.com article is extremely timely for those of us in Tucson, Arizona, as we face the possibility of Amazon Web Services building a huge data center at our outskirts. Energy and water use for AI data centers are non-trivial. Read my thread below if you want to hear about our local story ⬇️

AI this, AI that, what about how much energy AI actually uses? “It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes, yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics, emissions factors, nothing." From the experts:

Update on the NOAA Fellows situation: as of late last week the furlough has been lifted (phew!). However, there are no new Fellows this year, and we still don't know the future of this program.

Jessica Tierney@leafwax.bsky.social · last yr.

As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc

✨Paper #2 has just been published @weareagc.bsky.social ✨ And it is about hopanoids!! Thank you @climategordon.bsky.social for trusting a brand new journal with your research. AGC is 💎 open access: free to publish and free to read 🙌 Geochemists, come publish with us! journals.uu.se/AGC/article/...

The Trump administration's proposed budget would slash NOAA's climate research funds. It still has to pass Congress, but it's already affecting scientists. A program supporting promising new climate scientists furloughed its current cohort and canceled 2025 awards. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/c...

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

Useful post here on things you can do to communicate the importance of science to your representatives.

Upset about federal funding cuts in the US? Want some ideas of what to do? I wrote a long-ish blog post about it here ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com summarizing things I learned meeting with Senate & House aides this week with the @aibsbiology.bsky.social Congressional Visits Day event.

We've quickly moved from being the spokesperson for a protest movement to being arrested at a protest to publishing a critical op-ed as the criteria for summary deportation. A slippery slope for free speech indeed. www.nytimes.com/2025...
