Six reasons why Trump’s attack on Venezuela was very wrong:
Truly gives you a sense of how astonishingly simple the earth is (and a good sense of scale).
It took chagpt only two years to make earth scientists obsolete. 🥲
In February 2025, a bunch of volcanologists (25% early careers!) met to discuss caldera-rift eruptions in Hilo, Hawai'i. A quick summary of what is known and still enigmatic: eos.org/science-upda...

Beyond the horrible...
Did you know that UH Hilo participates in the National Student Exchange Program? We welcome students from all over the upper 49 states to our campus every year. We also have a robust international exchange program.
If you are interested in learning about volcanoes with a front row seat, reach out!
Come work in Hawai'i, come study active volcanoes, teach and mentor the next generation of volcanologists. 🌋
The Gordon Macdonald Chair of Volcanology position is open.
A a lifetime of studying new eruptions (nearly) guaranteed!

It should no longer be a controversial viewpoint. Glad Bernie is among the rare politicians in the US to continuously speak up.
Yes Bernie gets it, even defends republicans because there are bigger issues than partisanship here.
(fwiw Christie is a grade-A butthole)
Trump is a demagogue.
He wants more and more power for himself. He doesn’t accept criticism — not even from Republicans.
He simply wants Americans to bow down and obey.
Not gonna happen. Too many brave Americans died to defend democracy to let Trump take it away.

Cost of public college tuition:
Sweden: $0
Norway: $0
Finland: $0
Denmark: $0
United States: $9,596
When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.

Newsom's posts are one of the few good things to come out of 2025. I am addicted to them.

Saw this infographic yesterday about budget cuts:

Like many of us Earth Scientists brought up through a US system that was full of opportunity and promise, I owe having a career to NSF EAR. It's devastating to see what's on the table for their next budget...
So many of my colleagues are struggling with this same decision: stay or leave. I’m staying as long as it’s within my power to do so, but this is 🔥🔥🔥
Passé a la radio l'autre jour, redevenu d'actualité 😔
Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.
If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.
If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.
What a view! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpqT...
Hopefully activity stays on the mild/safe side of things.
