Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

Every US scientist needs to 100% clear that this is a fundamental attack on the process of science itself. If allowed to stand it will be the end of US science as we know it. Staying quiet because it does not (yet) target your work is not an option.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.

There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership

Studying environmental sciences is about studying our life support system. It should not be partisan.

Teaching Justice in the Geosciences Matters - Eos Geoscience educators owe it to their students to incorporate conversations of environmental justice and equity into their classrooms. Case studies are an effective approach to do this.

Beyond teaching the science of global planetary change, geoscience educators should also be communicating how different communities are disproportionately affected by such change, writes Gary Gomby of Central Connecticut State University.

I have a paint-by-numbers out all the time (desert landscape) for those moments. It feels soothing to my nervous system and brain, and it doesn't have to be perfect or finished.
