- the continents now contribute more freshwater to sea level rise than the ice sheets
- drying regions now contribute more than land glaciers and ice caps

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

Three Things in Trump’s Budget That Aren’t Getting Enough Attention They might affect the bill’s fate… if more people learn about them and speak up.

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.

We need to make sure more people learn about them.

National Science Foundation Staff Booted From Headquarters - Eos Staff at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were notified on 25 June that the agency’s office space, located in Alexandria, Va., will be taken over by Department of Housing and Urban Development (H...

I know there’s a lot of news right now but this is really crazy. They’re booting the National Science Foundation out of its newish building with no plans for where 1800 people are going to go.

A Military Ethics Professor Resigns in Protest Over the course of several months, Pauline Shanks Kaurin concluded she no longer had the academic freedom necessary for doing her job.

One military ethics professor has resigned from teaching in protest, telling @radiofreetom.bsky.social that staying would have been both morally and practically untenable after chilling orders from Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth went into effect.

Arctic sea ice update: June 2025 Sea ice extent back into record low territory RICK THOMAN JUN 25, 2025 After a bit of recovery in April and May, sea ice extent for the Arctic overall is back to being the lowest in the 47-year satellite record. ****Late breaking news**** Literally as I was about to hit "“send” on this post, EUMETSAT posted that the US DoD will cease distributing the underlying data used in the NSIDC and EUMETSAT sea ice analysis as of June 30. This had been expected at the end of September. We’ll find out soon but this very likely means a disruption to global sea ice products. The AMSR2 data aboard the Japanese Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) GCOM-W1 satellite remains an independent source of global sea ice data. https://alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/arctic-sea-ice-update-june-2025

Thank you very, very much to everyone who is chipping in and sharing. I know times are hard and scary but even $5 helps a lot!

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

Martir Garcia Lara, 9, was detained by ICE during an immigration status hearing in L.A. and deported to Honduras with his father. Once a Torrance fourth grader, he’s now adjusting to life in Tegucigalpa. His detention sparked outrage among teachers and the community.

Behind many scientists is a lifetime of invisible, unsustainable costs. From unpaid internships to underpaid postdocs, the economic toll of a STEM career is staggering—and it's pushing talent out. My new perspective explores this crisis. #STEM #AcademicBlueSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A student doing work this shoddy for a class presentation would fail. Shouldn't the standards be even higher for people making decisions about the health of all Americans?

A worried man with a worried mind. No one in front of me and nothing behind.

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies.

Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose. People are crazy and times are strange. Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high. All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.

A silly yearling paint horse filly sticks her head through the fence, and begs the photographer for food. Her mane blows in the wind. She is standing over a full feeder of hay.
