Below is a 🧵 of recent (since mid-late July) science news as it relates to what Trump is doing to federal science and related topics. This is meant to keep track of his dismantling and also so I myself don’t miss anything. Also my apologies for any repetitiveness.

Expected impacts from this weekend's major SoCal storm--which now appears likely to feature widespread flood risk and also a few severe thunderstorms--continue to increase. I will have a blog post and YouTube livestream at a TBD time later today to discuss. #CAwx

The meteorology program at Jackson State University was the first (and for many years only) undergrad meteorology program at a HBCU. They are celebrating 50 years as a program this week, and I talk about the program and being lucky enough to play a role in it. tinyurl.com/fhudehzt

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially ends on November 30, but the outlook is very quiet out there, so it very likely ended on October 31 this year. Overall, it was a slightly above-average season with some strange characteristics.

@Quantamagazine article on mixing changes in deep temperate lakes and some ecological impacts (e.g. deoxygenation), today. Why? Sudeep Chandra documented stratification increases (less mixing) in 84% of 189 lakes globally. Some lakes stopped mixing altogether.

Current La Niña Status

Presence: As of November 2025, weak La Niña conditions are present and are favored to continue through the Northern Hemisphere winter of 2025-2026.

Transition: A transition to ENSO-neutral (neither El Niño nor La Niña) is most likely in January-March 2026.

Researchers have unearthed a giant "warrior" lizard that stalked Brazil 240 million years ago in the Triassic period, just before the dawn of the dinosaurs.

240 million-year-old 'warrior' crocodile ancestor from Pangaea had plated armor — and it looked just like a dinosaur
The armor-plated lizard is an ancestor of modern crocodiles and lived just before dinosaurs took over Earth.

Perseverance Encounters a Possible Meteorite

The suspicious rock, named "Phippsaksla" by the mission team, was targetted by the SuperCam instrument, revealing that it is high in iron and nickel, suggesting it formed elsewhere in the solar system.

The ongoing X4 flare from AR 4274 is eruptive from the first few frames on GOES SUVI 284 Å. You can see a blast wave beginning to propagate away from the area, indicating a CME has erupted. If the CME is wide enough, Earth could get a glancing blow, but it's too early to say...
