The new #OMB rules would transform funding decisions. I don't know where I would be without #NSF funding. Thanks @agu.org for providing a way to submit comments about the latest set of disastrous OMB rule changes. Deadline Aug 24th #resist agu.quorum.us/campaign/dvw...
Submit your comment now to help stop NSF from implementing harmful grantmaking changes
A new proposed rule would rewrite the terms of U.S. science at NSF. Submit a comment today to fight back.

Happy 150th birthday, Colorado! Here's one of our favorite maps: average annual precipitation with color shading inspired by the state flag. It nicely illustrates the many variations in weather and climate across our beautiful state. 🎂🥳

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
Submitted my comment this morning before packing up equipment with undergraduates from my small, rural college to spend the day on Vermont's tallest peak downloading microclimate data from sensors that we installed last summer as part of an NSF-funded project.

They didn't leave Boston. They didn't leave New York City. They didn't even stop buying empty apartments and houses in New York City when those got an extra tax. They're not going to leave California.
Fight For A Union@fightforaunion.bsky.social · 4w agoBillionaires are threatening to leave California if the new wealth tax is implemented. This is a bluff for most, however, if all of them did leave it would take over two decades to make up the difference. Meanwhile, workers pay their fair share while oligarchs pay next to nothing
This is a real image. Taken by Voyager 1 in 1979, the icy moon Europa floats above Jupiter's swirling Red Spot maelstrom. The shadow is from Io, another of Jupiter's large inner moons, which is out of frame. Oh to see this view with my own eyes (safely shielded from the lethal radiation fields)

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.

Insofar as US swing voters think the Democrats are "out of step" with them on climate change, the vast majority say that is because Democrats are "not fighting hard enough/need to do more." Yes, really. 5/n

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months
Watching a presentation how to use AI to build a hydraulic model. It looks harder using AI. I see no advantage to using AI in this capacity. I see many disadvantages. AI is not the answer.

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.
Wow, this message from the Maine Democrats account on X. It sounds like Graham Platner is trying to stay actively involved in the process to replace him…and maybe even play kingmaker. And apparently Maine Dems are NOT having it.
