Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

How can we bend the curve of #biodiversity loss to build a just and sustainable future? 🏡 Read the Royal Society Publishing special issue of #PhilTransB: ‘Bending the curve towards nature recovery: building on Georgina Mace's legacy for a biodiverse future’.🌍 🧪 ow.ly/QCmj50UE5Kg
Academic journal cover of "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences" (Volume 379, Issue 1917, January 2025). The cover features an aerial photograph of a winding river cutting through dense tropical forest under a blue sky with white clouds. The river creates an S-shaped curve through the green landscape. The title discusses "Bending the curve towards nature recovery" and references Georgina Mace's legacy. The cover includes author names and The Royal Society Publishing logo in red at the bottom. The ISSN number appears at the top: 0962-8436.

The Trump administration has made clear it wishes to gut NOAA’s research enterprise, which is at the center of climate research globally. After 67 years of battling to keep the program funded and provide the data to other scientists around the world, the program faces its most dire threat ever.

Dismantling NOAA Threatens the World’s Ability to Monitor Carbon Dioxide Levels
The agency maintains the global backbone of measurements of CO2 and other gases, but these are at risk of being curtailed if the foreshadowed cuts to NOAA are realized.

Our latest #sharkscience paper maps the global shark product network—and the EU’s central, complex role in it. Read in #MarinePolicy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @sdejuan.bsky.social @sharkcolin.bsky.social @nickdulvy.bsky.social @elasmona.bsky.social @iucnshark.bsky.social @csic.es
A large shark swims through a deep blue ocean background, facing the viewer from the right side. Overlaid text summarizes key aspects of the global shark trade: “Shark fin trade is centralized around Asia. Shark meat trade is broader and more complex. Europe and Latin America act as major redistribution hubs.” The composition contrasts the shark’s form with the clean, bold typography to highlight trade imbalances and geopolitical roles.

Horticulturalists, Biologists, Engineers: Federal ‘Bloat’ or Valued Experts?
President Trump’s effort to remake the government is a direct challenge to a decades-long effort to build a civil service stocked with experts. Critics say it will backfire.
