The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The missles in this video cost more than that.

and that grounding zones vary on kilometer scales. And that if we were to try to use the beam bending equations to infer local ice thickness in the grounding zone, we need to understand that the local effective Young's modulus varies and tells us something about how the ice-bed-ocean system acts.

happy Saturday! My first piece of academic work is out. What can tidal flexure tell us about ice in grounding zones? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

A year ago today, 168 of my NSF colleagues were fired suddenly & illegally. Half got their jobs back after an intense legal fight, but none of this is over for our small/mighty agency. Even while there are so many things happening everywhere all at once & it’s exhausting, I’m glad to keep pushing.

‘Shattered’: US scientists speak out about how Trump policies disrupted their careers Researchers lay bare the human toll of lay-offs, funding cuts and attacks on science one year after the president’s return to the White House.

We're one year in. The speed, scope and severity of what's happening to American science is beyond anything we've seen before. The reliability of the Federal science and technology enterprise and the people within it, has been shattered. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Another reason for Medicare for All.

The Colorado River is on the verge of crisis. No one has a solution. The Colorado River faces a crisis as seven states struggle to agree on water-sharing rules.

Elites fight over the last drops of water in the American southwest before climate change takes it all away.

Scientists skip key US meetings — and seize on smaller alternatives Researchers are devising creative ways to get together as Trump’s policies curb travel to US gatherings.

Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive:

Horizon 2100 : l'Antarctique en péril - Actualités de l'ULB

L’avenir de l’Antarctique au-delà de 2100 inquiète : des émissions élevées entraîneront une perte de glace majeure à long terme. Une étude publiée dans Nature Communications avertit que le destin de la calotte glaciaire antarctique, jouera un rôle décisif dans l’élévation future du niveau de la mer.

From short-term uncertainties to long-term certainties in the future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet - Nature Communications Even if net-zero emissions are reached well before 2100, West Antarctic ice-sheet retreat could still drive multi-meter sea-level rise by 2300. Emission reductions in the coming years are critical to ...

Antarctica’s future beyond 2100: high emissions drive major long-term ice loss. New study in Nature Communications by Vio Coulon and Ann Kristin Klose, showing that the fate of the Antarctic ice sheet, will play a decisive role in future sea level rise.
