This is wild; and also, illegal. Ugh.

Anyone have funding ideas for getting a Canadian graduate student to an American university? The NSERC CGS D grant isn't a possibility, and I'm already planning to submit an NSF for potential graduate funds.

“Thirstwaves” Are Growing More Common Across the United States - Eos Like heat waves, these periods of high atmospheric demand for water can damage crops and ecosystems and increase pressure on water resources. New research shows they’re becoming more severe.

Earth’s atmosphere is getting thirstier. New research from @agrohydrology.bsky.social & Mike Hobbins explores how this thirst is affecting crops.

My Obituary of Elisabeth Vrba—out today in Nature in read-only format:

Hey congrats!! Can’t wait to read it!!

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Did you see "DEI" written into the federal grant you're reviewing, no you did not it absolutely was not there I have no idea what you're talking about.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

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.
