Worth a read. The intro about 1920s Soviet agriculture head dismissing the science of genetics is a parable for our times re: climate change. The Trump administration’s assault on science feels eerily Soviet | grist.org/politics/the...

The Trump administration's assault on science feels eerily Soviet
The United States is drifting ever further away from science and climate reality. So why does life seem so normal?

Why I keep yelling that NASA is more than astronauts and rockets - actual Science that helps Humanity is being targeted. These two threatened Orbiting Carbon Observatories are managed by JPL.

I’m currently in Kenya and found out that the cancellation of USAID means the end of HIV prevention measures. So all the advances that were made in controlling HIV are now in jeopardy #USAID #HIV

Hey folks, don’t feed your cats any kind of raw poultry, whether bits from some you’re preparing for yourself or commercially produced raw cat food. And don’t let your cats out. Bird flu kills cats, even if your cats don’t hunt birds, they could be exposed through feces or shared water or dead birds

Deep Space Network operations have moved to backup control center at Goldstone. This is first and only time in the history of the DSN that has occurred. It has been in 24/7/365 operation at JPL since 1964. DSN talks to spacecraft beyond Earth orbit, including the Voyagers and Mars rovers. #eatonfire
