Ever wonder how ordinary citizens benefit from NSF investments in science and scientists? Check out this blog post from my former AAAS fellow:

Even Ukraine has an Antarctic icebreaker ship.......🤷🏻♀️
NSF staff are tenacious when it comes to the mission.
I really do know the most amazing people. First hand account of the protests in LA written by my friend (we were AP chemistry lab partners).
The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care?
1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.
The details of the NSF FY26 budget request were released yesterday. Remember this is the request, and congress makes the appropriation, so if you disagree contact your Senators and representative. www.nsf.gov/about/budget
NSF= National Science Foundation
THIS. The people I work with at NSF believe so much in the mission of NSF that even when the government decides they are no longer needed, they continue to fight to preserve our mission. Today is the 75th anniversary of NSF. Please watch this video.
Thanks to NSF for fostering 75 years of major scientific achievement.
I have such impressive friends doing amazing things.
One of my least favorite things about social media is the way it encourages flat-out meanness, even for people who are not mean by nature. People lose all sense of proportional response. It's war, all the time. To be constantly dehumanizing one other can't be healthy.
It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my Ph.D. advisor, Jenni Evans. She was an esteemed scientific leader in tropical meteorology & computational science. She shared great strength & inspiration to follow my dreams.

my dog, I have not yet figured out how to avoid typos on here.
This is my 14 year old do, Pumpkin. We are both sorry to hear about your dog, Bob.
This also demonstrates the attitude of selfless service embodied by colleagues at NSF. Upon being fired, Jeremy is thinking of how to help his remaining colleagues and the scientific community, despite his own personal trauma.
NSF PIs, my former colleague, Jeremy Koster, has taken the time to give detailed and tangible things that you can do to make our jobs easier right now. Please read and share.
Firings at the NSF included permanent employees who had already completed their one-year probationary period, as well as at-will workers.
Hi. Here’s a public update I am very glad to share: “Access to the Award Cash Management Service (ACM$) has been restored and the system is available to accept payment requests” new.nsf.gov/executive-or...
The amazing @waterbarnes.bsky.social has drawn one of my former turtles, Miss Bernie!

Or rather, it is still available to me. You know how I tend to use a picture of my office if using a background.
I still have that zoom background.
um, can I buy that?
At #AMS2025, I brought up that NSF IUSE review panels often don't understand meteorology / #ASER. @mandaadams.bsky.social productively suggested we volunteer for the panels so we have representation. Guess what just landed in my inbox: aaas-iuse.org/event/consid... CC: @sezick.bsky.social
