Dear senior scientists and tenured/full professors of this network, hello! I'm looking for researchers with a long way down the road who have a story (or stories) of mistakes or errors made (especially if these involve funny stories, so bloopers are more than welcome!). >>

It is not headed by a “climate critic“. It is headed by someone who is unqualified in this area, who cannot offer valid critiques but instead shares debunked claims, and who regularly attacks climate scientists. Like me.

The administration has a new climate change office. It’s headed by a climate critic.

The office that produces the National Climate Assessment has been reconstituted, after the administration gutted it last year.

A new study suggests that total recovery of Earth’s ozone layer could be delayed 7 years if feedstock emissions aren't addressed.🧪 Research by Luke Western @mit-cs3.bsky.social & others; comments from M. Aurelio Franco @uspoficial.bsky.social. Story by @meghier.bsky.social. eos.org/articles/rep...

Repairing the Ozone Layer May Take Longer Than Expected - Eos

A new study reveals that if left unchecked, unaccounted-for emissions of ozone-harming substances could delay the layer’s full recovery by almost a decade.

A 4-year-old girl died yesterday inside a hot vehicle. It's the third such death so far this year and we're just getting into the summer hot season. Back in 2024, I wrote this piece about why the number of children that die in hot cars seems stubbornly stuck. 🧪 (It was wrenching to write.)

Children Keep Dying in Hot Cars. Here’s What Needs to Change

Cases of deadly heatstroke of children in cars have remained stubbornly persistent—here’s why they happen and how we can prevent them

O David Attenborough fez 100 anos e talvez um dos documentários mais recentes (recente com 7 anos kkkkk mas vocês entenderam) legais com ele é o que tem no Netflix chamado "David Attenborough e o nosso planeta". É interessante ver a mudança do mundo ao longo da vida dele

Leading in science as a woman doesn't mean smooth sailing through gender bias, unfortunately, writes @mangalasrinivas.bsky.social @nature.com. She gives practical advice for navigating the shards of the cracked glass ceiling (hint: there's no magic bullet). www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Cracked, but still there: the glass ceiling persists for senior women in science

To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, Mangala Srinivas reminds junior colleagues that career success won’t protect you from gender-based bias.

These fossils have been chipped out of the ground over decades, but we finally managed to date them thanking to the flip-flopping of the Earth's magnetic field. And they date right from the time when the common ancestor of these three lineages would've been kicking around. 🧪

Fossils of a human ancestor from 773,000 years ago may be near the base of the Homo sapiens lineage, representing a common ancestor of modern humans, Neandertals and Denisovans

The world's biggest earth science conference is happening right now, and there are literally hundreds of presentations involving NCAR people. It's impossible to understate how central the lab is to the climate and weather science enterprise

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Kim Cobb@kimcobb.bsky.social · 8mo ago

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

#COP30 delivered climate finance and adaptation progress but no #FossilFuel phase-out plan, leaving ambition far behind science. Here are some of the outcomes from the UN climate summit in Belém, Brazil. Editorial by @meghier.bsky.social and @jeff-tollefson.bsky.social ↩️ #ClimateScience

What happened at COP30? 4 science take-homes from the climate summit

COP30 negotiated efforts to protect forests and ramp up financial packages for climate action, but with one glaring omission: a road map to cut fossil fuels.
