To clarify, while the reconciliation budget has cut US science, the proposed FY26 budget proposes to make the even deeper cuts that I mention in this thread. Speak up for science & our future! π§ͺππ‘βοΈπ¨π

It's great to see this paper out, senior authored by @lilzrockz.bsky.social on recurrence rates of explosive volcanism in equatorial Pangea. A whole lotta erupting, at climate-sensitive latitudes. #paleoclimate #paleovolcanism #volcano #eruption #climate #iceage #LPIA

Open letter from nearly 2000 NAS member scientists: "We see real danger in this moment. We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united (...) in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a warning: the nationβs scientific enterprise is being decimated."

Loess (wind-blown silt) accumulates from suspension and thus is typically massive (structureless). This example of loessite (lithified loess) demonstrates this property particularly well-- it fractures like a giant piece of obsidian. From the Permian Maroon Formation, Colorado.
