Review just dropped with me, Karlisa Callwood, and @schoolingadream.bsky.social titled, “Restoring Landscapes and Communities: Insights from Critical, Urban, and Plant Ecology” We discuss historical impacts on current landscapes and how plant-based technologies can help. doi.org/10.1016/j.es...

Figure from article, “Restoring Landscapes and Communities:
Insights from Critical, Urban, and Plant Ecology” depicting the relationship between socio-political determinants (in a box labeled determinants), HOLC graded neighborhood disparities (in a box), and plant-based remediation (in a box). All boxes are on a blue circle with an arrow pointing from determinants to disparities and an arrow pointing from disparities to remediation.

It has been a while since I advertised some of the tools we have released to help researchers analyze the zebrafish genome. So a brief Bluetorial on our zebrafish genomics UCSC public data hub and the bigger effort led by @ferencmueller.bsky.social to create a zebrafish ENCODE project (Danio-CODE):

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile removed by employer Indiana University, & had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why. arstechnica.com/security/202...

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

3. How can I help? Here is our hot take: 1) Engage in the political process by expressing your opinions loudly and often. 2) Form your trusted communities, establish safe ways to communicate and coordinate; 3) Resist. However feels right to you, to the degree you are comfortable.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Remember this when you see losers arguing for eugenics (that suffering people have “bad genes” that must be stamped out): while genetic variation impacts human health, it is much more dependent on our access to good nutrition, safe neighborhoods, clean air and water, living wages…

Here is a sample follow-up email I just wrote that might be useful for researchers contacting their legislators about the removal of the no cost extension form from eRA commons. Use/share/adapt freely. My gut says this one is a winnable fight, and house offices are picking up the phones for me.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for taking my call just now. Attached are the two notices I have seen from colleagues at peer institutions about the removal of the No Cost Extension form (and potentially the entire process) from eRA Commons. I also have heard the Johns Hopkins Research Council has some information that unobligated balances will no longer be allowed on NIH grants.

As I said, this is a common mechanism that Colorado researchers (and those across the US) use to be able to plan and execute federally funded biomedical research. Research gets delayed for numerous reasons so extensions are crucial for the work we do here and to keep people employed.

I appreciate you passing this along to Peter so that Congressman Crow's office can look into this.

Best regards,

Laura

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public
