Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned Science Lab

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today.

You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov

Scientists up in arms as flying lab has its wings clipped Faam, the airborne laboratory deployed after the eruption of an Icelandic volcano shut airspace in 2010, will be grounded after government funding was cut

The decision by @ukri.org to scrap the UK's flying atmospheric laboratory (FAAM) after spending >£40M on an upgrade & with zero consultation, is short sighted. FAAM has saved the UK economy more than it costs through responding to disasters.

Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

I have to do Career Day at my kids' school, what's a good way to teach them about science? I was thinking of giving them a fun activity and then making them fill out a lot of paperwork before abruptly canceling it

Trump team plans to break up ‘global mothership’ of climate science Much of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s non-climate portfolio will be dispersed, the White House says.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.

The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

THANK YOU, I had never understood this!!

Excellent summary of the work I contributed to in @esm2025.bsky.social, an EU-funded project that ends this year. Here are my key take-aways in a 🧵 , but I recommend reading this Research Highlight if you want to know more!
Several papers are in preparation from this work, so stay tuned.
