Scientists skip key US meetings — and seize on smaller alternatives
Researchers are devising creative ways to get together as Trump’s policies curb travel to US gatherings.
Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive:

Here you will find presentations about the Earth’s response to surface mass variations and how geodetic tools can measure these processes with high accuracy.
I helped to convene this session and hope you take a look at the great research presented here 😁

I'd like to be more active in Bluesky, but I wonder what should I share?
About science and my experience?
Me:That maybe pretentious
About my insecurities?
Me: That may close some doors
About politics?
Me: I'm not an expert and again the doors issue
Should it be in English or Spanish?
Me: 😐

What Vance is doing here is ENORMOUS disinformation. International students at the undergrad level typically pay full tuition, which subsidizes tuition for American students on financial aid by keeping tuition costs lower. At the grad level, domestic students are harder to recruit!

Protecting women's restrooms from 'men' by... Sending armed men into women's restrooms
As per usual, if your goal is to abuse women, why would you ever go to the trouble of pretending to be trans when it's so much easier to just become a cop

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.
No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.”
This is Trump’s America.

Most migrants are not criminals and should be treated with respect.
Even criminals deserve respect and a due process.
It's the bare minimum

Killer kitties: cats are eating 2,000 species, including hundreds that are at risk
The first study to quantify what our felines eat on a global scale finds they have a significant impact on wildlife
Killer kitties: a reminder that cats play a major role in wiping out wildlife. How?
By killing literally *billions* of native animals every year, driving numerous extinctions. 🌍
Cats are NOT 'part of nature'. If you must have one, keep it indoors.

Hello all!
Time to introduce myself!
I'm Carolina, and I a PhD candidate (very close to finish). Generally, my research focus on using geodetic data to estimate slow ground motion on different areas across the GOM. I'm particularly interested in hydrogeodesy and InSAR 🛰️
