Not going to lie, being a staff scientist is a very strange position to be in academia. Feels like limbo at times... #Academicchatter

A photo of the front of a pale green tree frog from the low side as it rests on some pale blue painted wood.  The frog's head is turned slightly to the side, one golden filagree-like eye staring at the camera, one leg slightly tucked under its body, the other, toes splayed, grasping the surface upon which it rests.

Amazonian deforestation is making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons dryer, according to research in Nature. The analysis highlights the local and regional effects of removing trees from the tropical region. go.nature.com/41jCClO 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows simulated contrasting precipitation responses to deforestation at different scales (0–1,000 km) over the Amazon region.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

I don’t want to be so pessimistic, but it’s hard not to feel completely demoralized having gone through 4 years of undergrad and 6+ years of my PhD just to watch all my future biomedical career prospects slip away at the whim of a government that couldn’t care less about its (non-billionaire) people
