Eco-Logic guests will be Ben Golfarb, author of “Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of the Planet”, and Erin Sito of the Wildlands Network. Episode “Wildlife Crossings: Beavers, Bobcats, and Bears, Oh My!” airs Wednesday, May 28th, at 10 a.m. EDT on WBAI-FM, 99.5 in New York City & is streamed live at wbai.org/listen-live. The song for the show will be Sharon Abreu’s “The Balance”.

What are Wildlife Crossings? Overpasses or tunnels, they enable animals' freedom of movement, & save lives, money, & property. They mitigate the impact of human intrusion into habitats. Wildlife crossings are important to animals large & small: beavers, bears, deer, fish, turtles, bees, and more.

How will the Administration carry out this executive order and how will it be interpreted at Federal science agencies? We must monitor. We must work to preserve the integrity of the world-class science done at Federal agencies and the science-based public safeguards it enables. Watch this space.

Trump's Attack on Science Is an Attack on Public Health Opinion | I spent years doing research to inform policy. Now the Environmental Protection Agency is working to erase it.

Once again we see a focus on reproducibility, transparency in modeling and data, emphasis on uncertainties--All things scientists routinely do! But history shows this frame has been coopted to discredit scientists and attack science-based policies with EPA a prime example: undark.org/2019/11/21/o...

Congress's attacks on science-based rules Proposed laws based on false premises could undermine science for the public interest

Here the Administration lays the groundwork for weaponization of scientific principles to justify rollback of science-based policy actions. This isn't just hypothetical, its what the first-term Trump Administration and members of Congress have done for years. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The EO proports to be focused on the hallmarks of scientific quality--reproducibility, transparency, unbiased peer-review. The scientific community at large embraces these pillars of science. Now we must watch what actions the administration takes next at agencies in the name of these principles.

Restoring Gold Standard Science By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United

The Trump administration just dropped an executive order, "Restoring Gold Standard Science" and there's lots to unpack. This EO reveals more about how the Administration will approach scientific integrity and science in regulatory contexts. Some initial thoughts. 🧵

On Eco-Logic radio, we basically do on-air teach-ins every week (WBAI, 99.5 FM NYC, Wed. at 10 a.m.)—let’s join together on a program for an on-air teach-in this summer!

SUFS TEACH IN FLYER

As a part of the @standupforscience.bsky.social Summer Fight for Science campaign, we want to host 1000 teach ins across the US between now and Sept 30th.

Yeah, it’s a big, hairy, audacious goal. I know.

Here is a running list of ideas, please scoop and do! 🧵🪡

Summer Fight For Science 2025 — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE

The idea is: share some cool science and then tell everyone it’s all at risk and here’s how to annoy your legislators about it! Have open discussion.

Everything you need to do it is here www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

babies have claws on their wings when first born; they can climb around on trees using claws and feet before they can fly. They are the only such species. How cool is that!

Congrats!

beautiful!

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨

WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people.

4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

Big news out of Georgia

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

We’ve covered some of this on Eco-Logic, Wednesdays at 10 a.m. (ET; 9/8/8 going West), notably with NASA researcher Anastasia Romanou on Nov. 13, 2024 and with Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society on Mar. 12, 2025—& on Mar. 19 with Nano Seeber of Lamont-Doherty Labs.

Please join us, live tomorrow morning, Wed, May 7 @ 10 a.m. (9/8/7 going east) for “Microplastics: They’re Everywhere!” Broadcast on WBAI, 99.5 FM in N.Y.C., streamed at wbai.org/listen-live with Judith Weis, professor emerita, Rutgers University and Melissa Valliant, Beyond Plastics. ecoradio.org

Do not mess with librarians. The inner strength required to meticulously care for history's greatest works of literature and then just let total strangers borrow them willy-nilly is Jedi level stuff.

He's also the president who killed things like this.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Bravo, Greyhound! Uphold the Constitution and due process!

I like the moon better! Sometimes fuzzy vision helps make a better (if illusory) world.

Gru with a large white pad that says "First we get a book". In the next panel it says "Then, we get another book". In the next panel it says "And then we say no more books". In the next panel it says "But then, we see another book". In the last panel Gru looks excited and it says "So we get two more books!"

Me on Independent Bookstore Day

lovely!

A photo taken on the steps showing over a 100 people gathered around Jeffries and Booker who are sat broadcasting on the steps of the Capitol. The sky is bright blue.

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps.

Is this building into something?

If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support.
