🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨
They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us
Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏
This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.
The ACLU has a long history of defending free speech — not just when it’s easy or agreeable, but also when it’s difficult and divisive.

Had the opportunity to participate in the summer NES LTER cruise. I always learn so much from fellow scientists while at sea!!
Adding something that I’ve already done to my to-do list so I can cross it off and feel good about myself
Last week, we submitted testimony to the Attorney General about potential regulation of AI algorithms in decision making.
The short answer? Algorithms making discriminatory decisions is a very real problem.

🌊 #URIGSO professor @drplankton.bsky.social joins a global team of experts to outline the many ways plankton (tiny, single-celled aquatic organisms) make life on Earth possible: from regulating climate and fueling ecosystems to advancing science, sustaining economies, and shaping culture. 🦑 🧪
Graphical abstract illustrating four recommendations for ecological modeling with aquatic animals. Be interdisciplinary and across levels: Includes icons for population biology (a bar chart of age structure) and behavioral ecology (a pie chart showing habitat use), plus a zoomed-in illustration of individual porpoises within a group. Use mechanistic modeling instead of statistics as a conceptual framework: A curved line plot shows respiration increasing with temperature, with data points color-coded by temperature and a shaded area indicating stressful conditions. Emphasize realism over precision: Shows a fish in a naturalistic habitat with plants and conspecifics, contrasted with a lone fish in a bare tank. Include stressful conditions: Reiterated through both the curved plot and a separate graph with three treatments, where respiration increases across treatments and with temperature, with the highest temperature range shaded in red.
Excited to share our new paper on how empirical research can better support mechanistic models—through realistic, interdisciplinary data and by embracing complex, individual-level mechanisms. Born from a @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social symposium!

Writing two chapters of my dissertation this summer… this will only be possible because I’ve deleted TikTok and the dreaded bird app from my phone

A federal judge has ruled that 14 states can proceed with a lawsuit against Elon Musk that claims he and DOGE illegally accessed government data systems, canceled government contracts, and fired federal workers.
Missed this lil dude
That’s my labmate!!

I talked to NPR earlier this week - along with several other scientists - about how devastating the impacts of these NSF grant terminations have been (and it has only just begun...). #SaveNSF #StandUpForScience #NSF

In the U.S., we’re told to love our jobs, and to find meaning in them, as if work were a family, or a religion. On May Day, revisit Jill Lepore on how the unravelling of the labor movement ushered in a new era of work as life.
Happy international workers’ day!
No battle is won forever - that applies to human rights, labor rights and the environment. Happy International Workers' Day, everyone
