Any ocean (biogeochemical) modeller wants to be part of this fun crowd for a while?

We're hiring a 🧪 PostDoc at @awi.de to assess carbon pathways into the interior 🌊 ocean and timescales of carbon sequestration with Lagrangian tools.

Average new UK electric car price is now lower than petrol vehicles Autotrader says average EV cost is £785 cheaper, in an important milestone in the move away from fossil fuels

Forget "total cost of ownership." In the UK, the average EV is now cheaper than the average ICE vehicle, up front. Sticker cost.

And of course the savings just keep accumulating after that.

Giant icebergs are amazing beasts.... a couple of years ago, we visited one up close, and now the results are published!

Outstanding research from Laura Taylor and co, demonstrating how these behemoths of the sea influence ocean chemistry and the growth of life: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Key point. Much like heat waves, sea ice extremes are likely caused by a number of different processes in different sectors and depending on distance from the coast.

My guess is most academics would be happy to continue to work “for free” (meaning editing/reviewing) if journals were well-run nonprofits instead of what they’ve become. I know I would.

Imagine owning a restaurant where the chef pays you to cook in your kitchen but then they pay you again to eat the food.

And you pay the sous chefs, waiters, and hosts nothing.

That’s modern academic publishing.

The thing politicians never, ever seem to remember is that preparation and accurate monitoring and forecasting for natural hazards is _ridiculously_cheap_ compared to cleaning up a disaster after it happens. Don't cut USGS hazards funding; mitigation pays for itself many, many times over!

Let's spin up the broken record.

If we're serious about CO₂ removal, we can't rely on one tech company to make it happen. It has to be a governmental effort at all levels.

The Supreme Court decision granting the president immunity plus the unlimited pardon power is a formula for corruption the likes we are yet to see, even by 2025-2026 standards.

Share Your Story: Impacts of the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) Following the release of the President's Budget Request (PBR) on April 3rd, NSF quickly and quietly took steps to begin to dismantle the SBE Directorate. The Federation of Associations in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS) wants to hear about how the SBE Directorate at NSF has supported your research and career. Your stories help FABBS communicate to policymakers and the public what’s at stake when the federal government fails to fund critical sciences. We may follow up for clarification, but we will not share your name or institution publicly without your permission.

🚨 NSF is already quietly eliminating the SBE Directorate, despite Congress’ mandate that NSF support the behavioral & social sciences.

Steps to counter this are in motion.

If you
- have an SBE proposal under review
- serve on an SBE grant panel
