Tired in Tornado Alley
A crucial National Weather Service office, battered by cuts, is trying to put on a brave face as tornado season peaks.
What's it like inside the National Weather Service right now?
@evanbush.bsky.social and @chasecain.bsky.social got a rare look inside one local NWS office. They found dedicated people committed to the mission but an office that is unquestionably short-staffed.

Scientists say a generation of biomedical researchers are having their careers scrambled by cuts/slowdowns to federal science funding and the uncertainty that has followed.
And young scientists say they are seeking opportunities from, or being recruited by institutions in China, Europe and Canada.

One sent tsunami alerts. Another flew with 'hurricane hunters.' Both were just fired from NOAA.
The Trump administration last week cut about 600 workers at NOAA and the National Weather Service.
The faces behind the NOAA cuts: A scientist who sends out tsunami alerts. A veteran who flies through hurricanes for data. A researcher who helped built next generation hurricane models. www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...
