Very disheartening news. The snowpack across the mountain west is dismal. Mosquitos were out and about in the mountain passes in January...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

"Science is being destroyed across many agencies" say federal researchers.
For my latest @nature.com piece, I spoke to 19 different scientists across EPA, NOAA, NIH, NASA, and USGS to document how science is being dismantled across US federal agencies.

Join marine researchers @UBC (ubcoceans.ubc.ca). CERC in Ocean Ecological Modeling (research.ubc.ca/media/file/c...). $8M to work at the intersection of oceanography, fisheries, ecology, biodiversity, etc, in the context of environmental change, ecosystems, biogeochemistry & living marine resources.
The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. 🧪
How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.
Release the tapes!!
On the shit keeps coming news, the administration revoked my paycheck deduction of union dues and seems to be keeping the money....
NEW: The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from.

University of Washington environmental professor Phillip Levin shows us how to fight back against Trump’s anti-science, anti-environment purge - DIY science! That’s the spirit of Galileo and Copernicus alive in Washington State. Go Huskies! Or as we say, “Go Dawgs!”
Firings at NOAA Fisheries will ultimately hurt fishing communities. The effects of climate change will continue even if we stop studying them.

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.
NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.
Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.
The Computer Vision for Ecology program is organizing a 2-week remote workshop in May to teach AI methods to former US public sector scientists - Please consider sharing with your networks! We are also looking for volunteer instructors/mentors. Details here: cv4ecology.caltech.edu/ai-upskillin...
