The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.
It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

Finally did the Tamolitch Blue Pool hike. It was more technical than I expected, and less crowded, which was nice. Since the advent of social media, this spot has become a management issue, but no outrageous incidents during my visit (other than folks not carrying water on a 90F degree day).

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

In a time when support for junior scientists is disappearing, how can you plan for a career in STEM? I think it starts by thinking of science as a big map with many routes and destinations, instead of a pipeline. 🧪

I visited two very different coastal ecosystems this weekend. In the salt marsh on Yaquina Bay, the halophile goldenthread (Cuscuta pacifica) wraps around the estuarine paintbrush. On Pirate Cove, the sea thrift (Armeria maritima) paints the cliffs pink. #botany #coastal #oregonnativeplants
