βThis review synthesizes literature on fieldwork safety across scientific disciplines, highlighting four facets of safety for leaders and researchers to address: physical, social, financial, and psychological.β
The president of the uni, opening an email with hopes that we are staying warm while watching UConn athletics and "supporting..our coaches," all while staff face looming cuts, is a wild choice.

$300 Million in jet planes lost to a fuckup.
Thatβs 83 five year NIH R01 grants burned in minutes due to error, aka poor execution of this unnecessary war which serves only to make the world more dangerous.
I'd like to remind everyone that CAM has evolved as many if not more times than C4. There are entire biomes where CAM is dominant. If you like tequila, or pineapple, or your pretty orchid you got at the grocery store, you can thank CAM.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk. Or CAMtalk as it were.
How do you write a thing about photosynthetic pathways and not mention CAM. How.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isnβt flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. π§΅π
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Weβve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonβt share intel with us. Because people couldnβt vote for a woman.
