For those who haven't heard of this yet, the fastest/easiest way to reduce indoor air pollution from wildfire smoke is to get a basic 20x20 box fan, and slap a single 20x20 air filter (make sure it's very high MERV) on the back. No tape or anything, it just sticks to the back of the fan.

Just going to drop this here since we haven't talked about NSF strangling geoscience for about a month. It's still strangling geoscience (and everything else) with 9% the number of grants issued compared to the 2021-2024 average. grant-witness.us/funding_curv...
Plot from link showing the cumulative number of awards for the NSF geosciences directorate for 2021-2026. 2021-2023 are nearly identical, 2025 is significantly below those years and 2026 is *way* down. We're almost to the last quarter of the federal fiscal year (ends Sept. 30th)
