This Vikings-Bears game is just the bad and stupid version of last night's Ravens-Bills game.

🏈 BAL 40 - 41 BUF
FINAL

✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1092nd unique final score in NFL history.

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

I spoke to @ninalakhani.bsky.social for this article and reading it was still a gut punch. The US’s gold-standard scientific funding system has been completely demolished. I genuinely don’t know what to do with what remains.

And it’s going to get even worse under the new budget.

if you are ever tempted to use chatgpt just text me and I will tell you the wrong answer instead. it will not harm the planet and it will have much more razzmatazz

That's a pretty nice backdrop for electrofishing

Why should scientists engage with faith communities about environmental issues? Grosh says religious groups often have resources and influence - one example is the Catholic Church owning millions of acres of property (i.e. land) around the world that they manage #IAGLR25

"What's a religion talk doing at a science conference?" poses Katie Grosh of Yale Divinity School - and answers it by saying faith communities are places of trust and deep engagement where conversations about water science can tie into faith traditions #IAGLR25

Ten Vital Services Provided by NOAA (Beyond the National Weather Service) Far too much of the media coverage supporting NOAA only mentions one of many things they do: here are 10 more.

Cuts to NOAA funding threaten our ability to predict and monitor hurricanes and tornadoes—putting lives and communities at risk. But NOAA’s work goes far beyond weather. Guest blogger Dr. David Shiffman shares 10 vital but lesser-known roles NOAA scientists play.

I advise NOAA on Tribal and Indigenous issues on the ocean as a member of the Marine and Coastal Area Management Federal Advisory Committee

Well, I used to anyway

Trump just dissolved it

Dear Elon,

Here's a list of @biologicaldiversity.org's accomplishments this week. We sued DOGE for hiding documents from the public and @realDonaldTrump thrice to save endangered species. Last week we sued Trump 7 times for destroying oceans, wetlands and wildlife.

Efficient enough for you?

Elon has got to go

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA

Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for*

Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.

You can tell Nancy Mace stopped paying attention to biology after the first month of 5th grade because 1 in 500 people born with male phenotypes have XXY chromosomes and 1 in 20K born as “biological males” actually have XX chromosomes. Even “biological sex” isn’t actually binary anywhere in nature.

Oh wow, what a crazy random happenstance.

Due to President Trump’s hiring freeze, regional monitoring for northern spotted owls either won’t occur or will be greatly reduced.

This leaves conservation agencies without crucial information needed to prevent the imperiled owls from sliding into extinction. Details ➡️ biodiv.us/3QrHZdx
