As a reminder, PBS NOVA is one of the coolest science entertainment platforms that we have today!

Supporting PBS and NPR is always a great way to invest in quality journalism and educational content. Every dollar makes a difference for independent reporting!”

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: β€œThe wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

252 Million Years Ago, Earth’s Climate HitΒ Reset - Climate Ages What fossil plants can teach us about global tipping points, and what that means for ourΒ future Have you ever seen a fossilized fossil fern?Β  They...

252 million years ago, Earth hit the reset button
and nearly everything died.

But what triggered the worst extinction in history?

And could it happen again?

My little take on what new research reveals.

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.

Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA β€” the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings.

Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

They're also less likely to get hiredβ€”and it hasn't improved over time.

When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

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;

Pretty clear one of the main purposes of DOGE is to privatize as much of the federal government as possible

Th most telling thing about Trump and Zelenskyy today is that Trump couldn’t do it alone.

He’s too much of a coward. He needed backup.

Democrats discover how to defeat Trump & Elon The left accidentally stumbled upon the single most effective way to overcome Republican overreach.

"Mark my words: these elected officials will be responsive to their own voters. The answer, then, is to put pressure on these Republicans, because if they start to lose support from the very people responsible for electing them, that becomes existential for them in a way that Trump’s threats can’t."
