On Saturday my across-the-street neighbor walked by me taking care of the plants and asked me to plant some stuff in his planters, so I immediately did. Sunday he walked outside, and there was a butterfly on his plants and he yelled across the street to tell me. This is what it's all about.
Firefighters in Oregon, Spain, and now France (?!) are battling wildfires big enough to generate pyrocumulonimbus clouds. These fire storms are treacherous on the ground. But scientists are concerned about the *planetary* consequences of injecting so much smoke into the upper atmosphere...🌍🔥🧵

Using an open-source pipeline to read every comment on OMB's proposed grants rule that could have significant impact on science and technology research funding, Christopher Steven Marcum and Abigail Haddad find the verdict "clear and lopsided": ~94% oppose it.
The Public Rejects OMB's Federal Financial Assistance RuleTens of thousands of scientists, clinicians, and ordinary citizens warned OMB about putting political appointees in charge of which research gets funded.buff.lyFeels like a good time to repost this thread we originally did on Twitter/X: #TaylorSwift eras and their corresponding geologic eras.
