Here's Sir David Attenborough on why this huge, heart-shaped piece of the UK in Northumberland is so important. A chance like this to save massive space for nature won't come again. £11,000 donated yesterday, £1.37m still to go by the end of the month - the time is now! 💚 #conservation #ukwildlife

House SS&T Dems just issued a report re NASA and the FY2026 budget: "Mission Aborted: How NASA Illegally Implemented the President's Budget Request Without Congressional Approval." Calls on Isaacman to "defend" NASA and not do the same w/FY2027 request. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Shout out to the good people at the Scientific Viz lab who's brilliant work is shining during Artemis II svs.gsfc.nasa.gov

I've even made my own version of the iconic Joy Division-style daily anomaly plot thats updated with 2026 data (to-date): dashboard.theclimate...

"how can someone not at least find it interesting watching a whole planet shift geological ages in the blink of an eye?" Hear, hear!

They’re not even pretending that it’s for any kind of legitimate reason. Instead, they’re trying to dismantle NCAR to suppress knowledge.

Decades if not centuries of knowledge about to be erased... Many of those NCAR researchers will leave public research _forever_. And how to blame them, they'll make 3x the money in any private sector needing their fluid dynamics know-how without being insulted every other week. The Age of Morons.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

the rats nest that is the flow of money in AI compute is so unbelievably complicated and circular that i had to make a diagram

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Research matters. Science matters. Understand the world as it is rather than as we wish it was matters.

🧪 CRITICAL UPDATE: The House draft version is now out. ✅ Like the Senate's version, there's no cut to NASA's budget. ❌ There's a 23% proposed cut to NSF's budget. 8-page summary: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su... Draft bill: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions. GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc. This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth. www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

Let it be known for the future of science in the US: the redearcher where there, they did the work to prove the merit of their work, way past anything the private sector does to vet ideas. They were there, ready to work, and the country failed them.

Well. It happened. Today we were told that our NASA proposal was selected, but they can’t fund it due to the budget cuts. Nothing like getting a congratulations and we’re sorry in the same email. Only 4 proposals were selected in the call out of >120. Please excuse me as I go throw things.

I'm not pointing fingers at anybody but I do see #USDA left out of a lot of the reporting on cuts to federal research funding, and USDA funds a LOT of research!!! Food safety! Ag sustainability! Making our food supply chains more resilient!!!

We're really just going through with all this, aren't we aftermath.site/summer-game-fe...

Reality is inconvenient? Easy, close your eyes, stop trying to understand, deny and remember: whatever happens it's someone else's fault.

Suite à cette énième saloperie d'Adobe, je suis en train de tester plusieurs logiciels, et pour le moment je dois dire qu'Affinity a l'air de faire tout ce dont j'ai besoin. J'ai une version trial de 7 jours, mais sauf grosse douille en chemin, je crois que je vais enterrer Photoshop pour de bon.

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

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. By @abrahm.bsky.social

Long time coming and beyond deserved.

This is devastating. Brilliant colleagues axed because the administration is afraid of scientific independence. I expect they'll come for all of us. We will keep working until then and elsewhere after the axe fall. Our work is beyond their myopic, hateful, small world view.

GOES-16's final view as GOES-East. A game-changing satellite that was up for the challenge.

the amount of work that goes into preparing a proposal: yeesh the amount of work that goes into reviewing proposals: yeesh the amount of work that goes into doing the work you proposed to do: YEESH Yet lately, for many folks, it just gets ripped away. 🫠

NOAA just sent around notice that its annual global monitoring conference (the meeting where everyone talks about tracking global atmospheric change) is not happening. "We are taking a short hiatus in holding GMAC while redefining our approach to the GMAC organization." gml.noaa.gov/gmac/

Time to use Amazon like they used to use brick-and-mortar book stores!

Bottom line: The intentional loss of exceptional scientists and other terrific public servants at NOAA leaves our country less safe and more vulnerable.

We have taken our Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) into operations today to run side by side with our physics-based weather forecasts. The #AIFS outperforms traditional models for many measures, at a fraction of energy use. ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med... #AI #MachineLearning

Interested in a fully-funded PhD developing the next generation of flood forecasting models for the Exascale computing era? Have a look at this project as part of the ExaGeo PhD programme - supervised by EPCC with colleagues from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the BGS www.exageo.org/phd-student-...

Despite this being extremely stupid and self defeating, it is also not required under any EO. And, while they still exist, this also violates the agency scientific integrity guidelines.

For those of you who wanted a bit more from the book set in this universe.

My friend Jen Marlon of Yale @climateconnections.bsky.social #Climate posted this interesting piece on trustworthy source rankings in the USA on the topic of #ClimateChange by political party. #nasa is ranked first across all. 😊

We are pleased to announce the newly formed NERC-funded Doctoral Landscape Award in Exascale Computing for Earth, Environmental, and Sustainability Solutions (ExaGEO DLA). For our full statement, please see our LinkedIn post here: shorturl.at/J4QFk

First post on @bsky.app 🎉: Can #AI-based weather forecasting models (trained on present-day data) provide skillful forecasts also in different colder and warmer states of the climate system? Our preprint in arxiv explores this question: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Here is what we found so far (🧵1/7)

Alright last #SC24 plug. NASA's booth is looking ready to roll. Come for the stickers, stay for the awesome presentations of my colleagues from high resolution modeling of the storm season to multi flow fluid simulation of the SLS launchpad! And if you ask nicely, I'll rant about FLOPs to you

Hi Atlanta :) _runs to the hotel to finish writing his presentation_

This new study finds that atmospheric rivers are shifting poleward, changing weather patterns around the world. The shift is worsening droughts in some regions, intensifying flooding in others, and putting water resources on which many communities rely at risk. Read more: 🧪🌎

On The Climate Brink, I explain the problems with this graphic. In fact, climate models do an excellent job simulating the climate. www.theclimatebrink....

Hi, I am a performance software developer, working on climate models! My greatest hits includes "yes we can put this code on GPU without you losing your mind" and "I've been tracking that NaN for 3 days and I am insane now". Honorable mention for "yes this model is going to Python, watch me"

Dear Atmospheric Scientists. My team has an immediate opening to join us in moving NASA's GEOS on GPUs using our own tech and design the tools to make that move last in time. We need a scientist to help with the port and drive adoption in the community! tinyurl.com/38hyp3s6
