I can't see anything on the senate appropriations committee's agenda for this coming week, even now that they are back from recess. Have the details of the NSF request to OMB been made public? Any insights into the delay? Early career scientist here, desperate for news on a pending proposal 🤦‍♀️

Doing CRDS oxygen isotope analysis of an Antarctic ice core with my Earth's Climate History class tomorrow. Look at those bubbles!!

And yes, I know foraminifera are zooplankton (gah!).

S3 EP 4 - De-coding Earth’s Climate History: Scientific Research on the High Seas | Middlebury In this episode, Rohatyn Center director Mark Williams talks with climate scientist Allison Jacobel about how researchers reconstruct the Earth’s climate history without a “time machine,” why the ocea...

I had a great time talking about how scientists reconstruct Earth’s past climate on the New Frontiers podcast from Middlebury’s Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs - where I am a Faculty Fellow.

We dig into the clues hidden in marine sediments and why they matter for understanding climate today.

Some tropical land may experience stronger-than-expected warming under climate change A sediment record millions of years old revealed that the tropical Andes heated up dramatically when atmospheric CO2 levels were similar to today’s.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

These are the senators who are about to vote to destroy us by caving on the shutdown for nothing in return. You can call and leave a message since it's Sunday, and try again tomorrow when they're open at 9am.

Postdoctoral Research Associate - Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences Position Summary The Climate and Paleoclimate Lab in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at WashU in St. Louis seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate in tropical climate/pa...

We're hiring! I'm recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in climate & paleoclimate modeling of the tropical Americas. Come obsess over the tropical rain belt with me! :) Please share w/folks who may be interested. Ad here: wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Fascinating ... and a hopeful sign

Keep calling, keep writing op eds - it's working!!!, but it's not over until the final vote!!

The Middlebury College Department of Earth and Climate Sciences is searching for a computational climate scientist to join the department on the tenure-track. More details here: apply.interfolio.com/169028 application deadline is 10/1

Proud to be (even just visiting) at an institution that is standing up for science and scientists! Thank you @colorado.edu and @instaar.bsky.social

Also special thanks to my BFF & fellow @macalestercollege.bsky.social geo grad Karen Jackson for her help in photographing these gorgeous landscapes!

Thanks to the Navajo Nation and NPS for photography permits; to the Thunderbird Lodge for the tour; financial support from the Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation and Jeanne Epp Barksdale Faculty Fellowship & thanks to the Center for Digital Learning and Inquiry at Middlebury for tech support.

We used LiDAR & Scaniverse on the iPad Pro, a 360 camera, and a Canon D90 to capture 3D scans of outcrops, panoramas, images, and video for these trips.

Excited to share one of my sabbatical side projects: virtual, interactive, field trips to Canyon de Chelly National Monument - part of the Navajo Nation. I made these for my Sed Processes & Environments course. Please let me know if you find them useful! www.ajacobel.com/virtual-fiel...

I believe two things deeply:

1. Sending a rover to Mars reflects the best of humanity: thousands of brilliant minds working together to peacefully explore the cosmos and share what they've learned for the benefit of all humankind

2. Mars is trash

Infaunal forams autocorrects to infernal forms

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

Time for Congress to save American science … and the nation We believe the best hope for saving science and, perhaps, saving our form of democracy, is convincing at least a couple dozen Republican members of Congress that it’s up to them—that the stakes requir...

An important message on the need for Congress to step up and save American science by two former presidential science advisors.

Remember folks, women are too emotional to be president.

To support NSF funding I've called both of my VT senators (where I work), the senators from MN (where I grew up), the senators from CO (where I live), and Senator Moran - Chair of the Commerce, Science & Transportation Appropriations Committee (KS). It's easy, join me & support the NSF!

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

The budget in that section for the CAREER is 229.55M and it is zeroed out, per the program solicitation they award 250M in CAREER grants. CAREER is not mentioned anywhere else in the budget. Happy to be wrong, but looks unlikely more than ~25 grants could remain.

It's just one tax cut! What can it cost, a quarter of a million scientists?

The 229M that appears next to the CAREER in that section is ~all of the 250M allotted for the program overall per the solicitation.

Where do you see CAREER appear elsewhere? I did find the second GRPF reference and am 'relieved' it's only 55%.

Goodbye REUs, goodbye GRFPs, goodbye CAREERs (which ironically I just finished writing today). This is the end of the road for all early-career scientists. If you aren't enraged you aren't paying attention.
