"Why the CDC edited a key Covid metric, and what it says about the state of the virus" The CDC raised its COVID wastewater benchmarks, so levels once considered “high” may now be labelled “moderate.” The agency says the change is intended to better reflect the current risk of COVID transmission.🤦‍♂️

We have a new #OpenAccess commentary piece out in @aguadvances.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1029/2026.... This article introduces a new collection of “Impactful Datasets in Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences” by @agu.org. I was very excited to support the nomination of the NSIDC’s Sea Ice Index.

I've got all the receipts, and have been reporting on Walberg, et al, for years. If your news outlets report on Piker and el-Sayed, but not Rogers and Walberg…maybe they shouldn't be your news outlets? You can check out, and support, my reporting, here: jonathanlarsen.substack.com

Friday was the hottest day *ever recorded* for Earth's oceans, on average. Oceans continue to absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from global warming: www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti... via @sfchronicle.com

open.substack.com/pub/markrobe... Two-degrees is will be a reality, sooner than was predicted a couple years ago! This year we had two famines and four countries near famine, 1.4 million people in the most severe stage of hunger where people starve to death!will be much worse in a two-degree world.

Today’s garden harvest. Well, that’s really only 1 of the blueberry bushes. I have a hedge row 50ft long of blueberries 🫐 to go, but I guess that’s tomorrow’s garden harvest. #gardening 🌱

What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/... Read this & thought of all the research @mizalisa.bsky.social has been doing on Epstein’s connection to both national labs in New Mexico. So many intersecting coincidences.

As part of a wide-ranging reorganization and headquarters move from DC to Utah, the U.S. Forest Service is shuttering more than 57 research stations and eliminating a significant number of forestry scientists. https://ow.ly/HE8i50YCiQl #ForestService #NationalForests

Ghana has been in the news recently as they have submitted a draft resolution before the UN declaring the Atlantic Slave Trade the gravest crime against humanity. In the spirit of that, March 25 is also International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade

Agriculture already produces enough calories to feed the world. Yet, hunger persists, writes PIK scientist Christoph Müller in @science.org Editorial: Food insecurity is primarily a problem of poverty and unequal access not agricultural production.👇 www.science.org/eprint/WG6TN...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Hello? @governor.ny.gov Governor Hochul, can you please move to nullify these!?!

As far as NSF is concerned, when it comes to postdocs, biology is only worthwhile if it’s AI now. If there’s a clean break for saying America is no longer a country where it’s possible to do science, I think this is a pretty good death date

m.youtube.com/watch?v=IT3b... ❤️ this song Woody & Arlo esque

I'm really torn on sharing this because I want people to know that I'm literally one of thousands of people doing the same thing, I'm not the face of it, but someone wrote a protest song for Minneapolis and it's genuinely catchy and I want to respect their work too

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

Hello @governor.ny.gov Kathy Hochul? You listening?!!!! #ICEout of NY!

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer. Is this Trump's plan for American cities?
