Farmers depend on climate data. They're suing the USDA for deleting it. Growing food is a precarious business, and losing access to key information makes it worse.

Hello all,

I am looking to speak with students in the U.S. completing degrees in the environmental and/or marine sciences that are preparing to graduate this May or have recently graduated for an article. I’d like to hear how recent gov’t changes are impacting your job search.

Thanks!

If you are a data minded/experienced person, there are initiatives to archive vital data before it disappears. This is a very tangible way you can act against trump policies.

Yup, they manage broad research on everything from ecology to resource extraction in marine environments. They have a military arm that deals with maritime conflict. They also were funding a big initiative in telling indigenous stories around climate resilience within a scientific context.

I’m glad, I think we are all adjusting but hope this can be a more truthful form of communication.

It’s come to my attention that much of the nation does not know what NOAA is, to put it basically the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association is NASA for the ocean.

It’s research an policies effect our environment, industry and climate on such a scale that it is hard to put into limited words.

As I prepare to move myself over from any Meta platforms to alternative options, I am struck by how difficult it feels.
These apps have permeated our lives and social structures in unfathomable ways. I suppose this is why the tech oligarchs feel so secure on their pedestals.

Coney Island, Brooklyn Community Board 13 votes β€œNo” to demapping key streets in the Amusement District. While it does not prevent The Coney from winning a license, it is a big win for groups against the casino.
