‘Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts
Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.
The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.

Impacts of global warming on (A) marine ecosystem functioning and fisheries, (B) large marine mammals, (C) local transportation, and (D) infrastructure. Colors indicate risk level as a function of global warming: white, undetectable; yellow, moderate; red, high; purple, very high. Black bar indicates 2.7°C. Confidence in assessment of risk transitions by warming levels is indicated by the number of dots shown, from three (high) to one (low). No dots indicate confidence could not be assessed or a risk transition threshold was not met.

Your brain is full of microplastics: are they harming you?
Plastics have infiltrated every recess of the planet, including your lungs, kidneys and other sensitive organs. Scientists are scrambling to understand their effects on health.

Lucinid clams and Cymodocea nodosa in one of the microcosms
Sampling in the dark
Microcosms in one of the experimental aquaria
Wrapping up final sampling for the #ENGAGE_prin manipulative experiment! 🌊🌱🐚 Plants, lucinid clams, and sediment were exposed to a marine heatwave — it’s time to check how metaorganisms respond alone vs. in association. Incredible teamwork! 💪 Go #MarineSymbiomes! #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology

Drill, baby drill? Trump policies will hurt climate ― but US green transition is underway
Market forces could undercut the administration’s plans to increase the use of fossil fuels such as oil and petrol.
Higher greenhouse-gas emissions, fewer jobs and dirtier air that kills more people: researchers have plugged Trump’s energy and climate policies into their models, and early results suggest far-reaching consequences for health, the economy and the planet.
