How sad is it that as soon as I heard of Robert Mueller’s passing, I immediately anticipated an awful post from DJT … and I was correct

In 2022, something shocking happened to the Hektoria Glacier. Over 16 months, it retreated by 25 kilometers, and it lost a whopping 8 kilometers in just two of those months—the fastest glacial retreat in the modern record. Now, researchers may have identified the worrisome mechanisms behind it.

“He (Kirk) did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry.” No, DJT is not sorry: he does not know what that word means.

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care? 1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

Folks supervising M.S. students doing field projects in ecology/behavior: does your school impose a time limit for thesis completion? My former institution is shortening the allowable timeframe (to ≤ 20 months) in a way that severely constrain thesis work re: breeding biology. Is this an anomaly?

The pattern of ICE waiting outside immigration hearings to arrest people who are following the law is fascism. Trump targeting the 500k immigrants who were part of an asylum program is also fascism. That’s it. That’s the post.
