Pervasive underreporting of harmful field interactions hampers intervention efforts - Nature Geoscience Harmful interactions are prevalent in geoscience fieldwork but often go unreported, hindering efforts to build welcoming and collaborative field cultures.

Harmful interactions in geoscience field settings are prevalent, and more action needs to be taken. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

SCIENCE. HASN'T. CHANGED. So why is the Trump administration changing policy?

This administration continues its attack on the nation's scientific body, and the cost is our research, our health, and our lives. On March 7th we are rallying in Washington D.C. and nationwide to take back our science and we need YOU! Visit standupforscience.net/march7 to learn more!

NSF Intent to Restructure Critical Weather Infrastructure

The US NSF has put out a "dear colleagues" letter that is essentially a yard sale list for @ncar-ucar.bsky.social

It asks questions such as, who'd like to take over some of NCAR's programs? Is anyone interested in commercial use of the Mesa Lab?

If you have thoughts, send them to NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov

Good Trouble becomes BEST TROUBLE

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

Swirling beauty of the Milky Way galaxy's heart is captured in a new telescope picture A telescope in Chile has revealed the swirling splendor of star-forming gases at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.

"The picture released Wednesday by the European Southern Observatory zeros in on a region of cold cosmic gases more than 650 light-years across. A light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers)." 🔭🧪

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Remember the Epstein Binder Photo Op? MAGA Influencers Hope You Don’t. Fifteen influencers waved “Epstein Files” binders at the White House. When scrutiny widened to Trump, the outrage narrowed just as quickly. The post Remember the Epstein Binder Photo Op? MAGA Influencers Hope You Don’t. first appeared on Mediaite.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

#1 in Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension v. Noem (D. Minnesota, 0:26-cv-00628) – CourtListener.com COMPLAINT against All Defendants (filing fee $ 405, receipt number AMNDC-12575332) filed by Hennepin County Attorney's Office, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Filer requests summons issued....

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."

MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Holy shit.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Yuck why is Trump called the diddler?

"If I were a rich man..."

Reminder: The Epstein files aren’t delayed.
A law is being broken.
