Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

I'm looking for a postdoc to apply quantitative molecular techniques to marine environmental DNA! We are interested in maximizing the biodiversity data we can get from low biomass and degraded samples. Please see the West Coast OBON website or DM me for info. evsatt.github.io/WC-OBON_Webs...
Wow.
We are hiring new faculty!! Come join our amazing community in the Department of Molecular Microbiology at Washington University School of Medicine! The deadline for applications is 2/21, but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. facultyopportunities.wustl.edu/Posting/Deta...
This flew under the radar for me but in 2025 California banned cat declawing! Happy New Year to all the 🐱
Our team continued working together after the hackathon and we developed a tool that is currently under review and available at github.com/nvpatin/MAMBO
In 2023 I participated in a hackathon run by NCAR and NVIDIA. Everyone else was working on climate and weather models, we were the only bioinformatics team but it was an incredible opportunity to learn about the utility of GPU-based computing for science. 1/2
And whether or not you are at #AGU25, you can join us in speaking out against moves by the Trump administration to dismantle @ncar-ucar.bsky.social, the premier weather and climate research center for the nation. secure.ucs.org/a/2025-prote...
Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social like anti vax for renewable energy.
This nice summary by @michiwagner4.bsky.social makes it easy to fit my post in a few characters.
Amplicon sequencing is still an affordable and quick way to get good insights into who lives in your samples. Our new primers make sure your vision is 20/20.
Try em, and contact me if you have questions!

Russia has kidnapped a 70-year-old Ukrainian marine biologist, Leonid Pshenichnov, for backing a curb on Antarctic krill fishing, saying that it would harm the economic interests of Russia.
A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.
NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.
The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.
Another excellent slide choice to inspire spirited discussion on marine ecosystem response to offshore wind energy

EPA has ordered scientists in its Office of Water to immediately pause almost all research & stop publishing studies. Researchers were told that, unless scientific journals had already returned proofs, studies will be subject to an additional EPA review.

Congress is considering a budget request that proposes slashing the
federal science agencies by up to 50%. These cuts would devastate
@UCSanDiego & Scripps Oceanography by cutting off funding for critical
research and innovation. Tell Congress to invest in science!

My group at NOAA/Miami is hiring a postdoc to lead a marine eDNA biodiversity effort (Bio-GO-SHIP). You'll develop and deploy high-throughput metabarcoding assays for ocean DNA. Help make foundational contributions to global marine biodiversity monitoring! t.co/p53s7E0YiL
How are we not talking more about his history of abusing women to the point where his former wife committed suicide? Everyone should read “Ask Not: The Kennedy Men and the Women they Destroyed” to learn more.
