Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Excerpt from proposed NOAA budget showing zero funding for Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

You know those “Antarctica Today” posts I’d put up for a while, showing surface melt extent accross Antarctica for every day of the melt season (Oct - April)?

They relied 100% on this data stream. Take it offline, that goes away completely.

Sea ice extent uses it too.

NSF slashes number of ‘rotators’ and well-paid managers as part of restructuring Smaller future budgets will require fewer people, NSF official tells staff

1. After getting some further insight into changes at NSF (thanks to those who reached out), I deleted a previous post where I tried to make sense of Cheatham's memo as reported in the Science story below.

Meet the Manefish, Caristius macropus. Named for their distinctive shape, macropus means large foot. This fish was observed in Monterey Bay 483 meters (1584 feet) deep in August of 2018. #MBARIFromTheVault

I've got a lot to say about the deep-sea mining executive order.

I'll be rolling it out in digestible chunks throughout the day, starting with this quick primer:

Understanding the Executive Order on Deep-sea Mining and Critical Minerals: Part 1, what are we talking about?

Pulled From the Deep: Scientists Found a ‘Lost’ Deep-Sea Mining Site off the SC Coast. What Secrets Does It Hold? Foul weather rained down as Chris Garside looked out across Charleston Harbor’s choppy waters. The British oceanographer needed to get offshore, quickly. A local fisherman stood ready to ferry him...

We tried deep-sea mining in U.S. waters already -- back in 1970 -- off the South Carolina coast.

Scientists returned to the undersea site in 2023 to see what it looked liked now. One told me: "It's like they were there yesterday."
