No More Unions Allowed At NASA. Happy Labor Day. The White House has issued an Executive Order that strips the ability of NASA employees (and employees at other agencies) to organize unions.

Nearly 4,000 NASA employees opt to leave agency through deferred resignation program The employees who have chosen to leave the agency amount to about 20% of NASA's workforce.

Studies estimate that for every $1 the U.S. government spends on #NASA, the #economy is boosted by $7-$14. NASA is a proven positive revenue stream & these cuts are fiscal malpractice. The loss to institutional knowledge will be devastating.

How the United States became a science superpower β€” and how quickly it could crumble US global dominance in science was no accident, but a product of a far-seeing partnership between public and private sectors to boost innovation and economic growth.

Here’s why the US research system is uniquely valuable, and what stands to be lost

AGU has joined a lawsuit challenging the firing of probationary employees at federal agencies.

These actions weaken science, harm public health & the environment, and threaten national security. 🧡 #StandWithScience

🌎 From tracking extreme weather to protecting fisheries and coastlines, #NOAA’s work saves lives and supports economies.

AGU opposes the dismantling of NOAA and calls on Congress to defend this critical agency.

The future of climate science, public safety, and industry depends on it.

US universities curtail PhD admissions amid Trump science funding cuts Nature talks to prospective students left in limbo as some institutes withdraw offers and put applications on hold.

The chaos and confusion of the Trump administration's science policy is taking its toll on early career researchers. Some prospective PhD students I spoke with have had informal offers rescinded as universities reduce or outright halt their programs.

If you are a federal employee in one of our scientific agencies who has been fired, please consider filling out this form. The House GOP may not give a damn about the the Enlightenment, objective truth or the Constitution but we do. democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

I dreamed of a career at NASA as a little girl. I worked for and attained a PhD and became an international expert in my field. Finally 2 years ago I was hired by NASA in an extremely competitive process. According to this I will be among the first to go in a RIF.
