Example of how the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite's water surface elevation measurements can be used to record flow wave propagation over space and generate a “spatial hydrograph.”

Hydrologists! Ever heard of a Spatial Hydrograph? Our new paper in @agu.org GRL shows that the SWOT satellite can capture spatial flow waves propagating down rivers—something previously only only observable at river gauges: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Excited to share our new study on how language barriers affect conservation science. We found that non-English research especially in Hungarian, Polish, Korean & Russian is undercited in English, despite local impact.

quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads: “If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.” The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.

Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.

But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.

Speak up now before it is too late.

「 『随意契約による政府備蓄米の売渡し』（令和7年5月26日発表）についての評価」
ogawaworks.net/wp-content/u...
このレポートには、近時食料行政に関し非常に重要な評価が記されています。
極端に簡略化すると、「小泉進次郎農林水産大臣は、食糧法の定めに基づかず備蓄米に係る売渡し随意契約を行った」となります。

行政とは、法律の課した制限の中で政策を実現することです。
今次事例は、小泉氏がいとも簡単に超法規的措置を執ることを示しています。
小泉進次郎は、危ないです。

中立説は相対アバンダンスの形を表現してるので、多様性指数よりも細かく説明してると思います。

Breaking language barriers: ‘Not being fluent in English is often viewed as being an inferior scientist’ Biologist Tatsuya Amano works to make science a fairer place for non-fluent speakers.

As someone whose first language isn’t English, I relate to @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social’s mission to make science more inclusive for non-fluent English speakers. I interviewed him for @nature.com's Changemakers Q&A series. The piece was published in Feb, while I was on maternity leave. Enjoy the read!
