THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The UN's top court in a landmark climate decision says a 'clean, healthy and sustainable environment' is a human right.
🌿 Welcome Kilan C. Ashad Bishop to the #ERH board! As an Interdisciplinary Health Scientist, @kilan.co specialises in health, natural and built environments, and climate change. We're excited to work with her! 🌱

I told him about tariffs.
This is the first Spring Break I’ve taken in years. 10/10. Highly recommend.
& thanks to my student and colleagues who reminded me to log off.
Truly, undeniably, & gratefully God’s favorite ✨
Calling research on gender identity “unscientific” and stating “no corrective action is possible here”…this letter should alarm all scientists. The scientific process refers to how you approach answering anything unknown about the natural world around us, not OPINION about the questions asked.
Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government.

We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn.
Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky
i wasn't built to work i was built to dilly dally and eat bottomless fries.
👋🏾 #STEMNoire is now on BlueSky! We’re a research conference & wellness retreat for Black women in STEM, creating space for connection, collaboration, & career growth. Every year, we convene Black women throughout the diaspora to provide resources that drive success & retention in STEM. Thread👇🏽
Black History is American History.
What a month. What a week. What a time.
As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽💻
The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.
Halts preparing my lil NIH grant* 😢
Anyone celebrating the restoration of TikTok — given the way that it has been restored — has lost the plot, completely
FYI: I did not, but I’m so flattered that the thought was I’m smoking my own proteins. 😂
I know I’m doing something right when I’m raving about how good smoked trout is and get asked “Did you make it?”
Headshots of 102 women and non-binary scientists who are now assistant professors. At the bottom is the Leading Edge logo and www.leadingedgesymposium.org

Applications are now open for the 2025 Leading Edge cohort! (Deadline Feb 3).
You do NOT need to be ready for the job market to apply.
It’s weird, isn’t it, that Octavia Butler predicted this. Almost beat for beat. I don’t mean to be woo. And prophecy is above my pay grade & outside my expertise. I’m just saying. 😳
The Los Angeles wildfires are climate disasters compounded, writes @ericholthaus.com
- the conditions for a January LA firestorm have never existed until now

Black folks around the world (& it goes beyond us) don’t have the most to gain from the rise of AI, we have the most to lose. AI is not inevitable, nor are the changes to our world that an AI-driven future would require. So, how do we shift from evangelizing to fighting back?
I appreciate technological innovation, but as a Black woman, I feel compelled to remind y’all that capitalism will not save us. Climate disasters (wildfires in LA and last year’s hurricane in Asheville) should remind us that we cannot afford to acquiesce to the wealthy few’s vision for this world.
Tech companies are backsliding on climate pledges that were set to mitigate global warming, threatening the health of our planet. Our ONLY home, while they plan on how to colonize the next one. They will run our waters dry, pollute our air, & then leave us behind to suffer the consequences.
(deep sigh) Black, Brown, rural, & lower-income communities ALWAYS suffer disproportionately from environmental burdens, so we know who is most threatened by the AI data centers popping up all over the US. We know who will go without power if ever commercial demands outweigh residential needs.
I attended a Black tech mixer this week where the panel was evangelizing AI as the future of the workforce. At some point, they asked what the audience’s biggest concerns about AI were. There were four options & none of them considered the environment. 🧪
The planets are so bright 😭🥰
