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! πŸ§ͺπŸ”ŒπŸ’‘β˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ”‹

Some robust taproots developed in Permian loessite of the lower Cutler Beds (Utah). Imagine the Permian vegetation, desperately seeking what they needed to survive; in trying times, remember the resiliency of the primary producers.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

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.
