I really do know the most amazing people. First hand account of the protests in LA written by my friend (we were AP chemistry lab partners).

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.

The details of the NSF FY26 budget request were released yesterday. Remember this is the request, and congress makes the appropriation, so if you disagree contact your Senators and representative. www.nsf.gov/about/budget

THIS. The people I work with at NSF believe so much in the mission of NSF that even when the government decides they are no longer needed, they continue to fight to preserve our mission. Today is the 75th anniversary of NSF. Please watch this video.

One of my least favorite things about social media is the way it encourages flat-out meanness, even for people who are not mean by nature. People lose all sense of proportional response. It's war, all the time. To be constantly dehumanizing one other can't be healthy.

At #AMS2025, I brought up that NSF IUSE review panels often don't understand meteorology / #ASER. @mandaadams.bsky.social productively suggested we volunteer for the panels so we have representation. Guess what just landed in my inbox: aaas-iuse.org/event/consid... CC: @sezick.bsky.social
