Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

I authored a blog post for @uscwrigley.usc.edu about the work I've been doing along with fellow lab members at the CEE Lab (led by @drcarl.bsky.social) to identify intervention priorities for coral restoration in the Caribbean under the impacts of climate change! dornsife.usc.edu/wrigley/2025...

The Senate appropriations committee has voiced its intent to ignore the request by President Donald Trump to slash the budgets of the National Science Foundation and NASA science programs. scim.ag/4nW7XWi

Senate spending panel would rescue NSF and NASA science funding
Its support for a flat budget is a sign of congressional resistance to drastic cuts Trump has proposed

Based on some quick math, this alone could fund the NSF Plant Genome Research Program for ~4 years; the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology, which was totally axed in the NSF budget request, for ~9 years; and ~ half the total NSF GRFP budget

How bad is Australia's simultaneous coral bleaching? ‼️ 12 systems at ALERT levels involving mortality ‼️ 7 systems at BLEACH WATCH/WARNING Yet, ""fossil fuel companies were “doubling down” to get more mega projects running" eg."areas around Scott Reef in WA being targeted for expansion by Woodside"

"Two months ahead of the usual annual peak of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, parts per million in air exceeded 430. Crossing 430 ppm was an entirely predictable but sad milestone. The rise is mostly caused by fossil fuel usage." - Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps Oceanography CO2 program

Cuts to NSF will dismantle the scientific enterprise, ceding our leadership to other nations. It is antithetical to fund science along idealogical grounds while ignoring the most pressing scientific challenges of our time. Those challenges do not disappear when the voices of science are taken away.

My colleagues at NOAA fear for their jobs. Their satellite observation today of accumulating heat stress (already above mortality thresholds) on the northern Great Barrier Reef: Yet again a deadly mass coral bleaching event is underway. Without NOAA, climate & reef scientists will be blind.

👋🏻 My name is Jenna, I’m a PhD student in the CEE lab led by @drcarl.bsky.social. I study how genetic diversity translates to functional diversity in the context of coral restoration under climate change. Excited to connect w/ others interested in eco/evo & hoping to learn more about policy as well!
