Scientific editor still working darn hard despite being "replaced by AI". Former paleoceanographer. Once and future writer/author. Constantly humbled.

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.
If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.
Hey! It's bad! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
2/3 cut in astrophysics
2/3 cut in heliophysics
50% cut in Earth science
30% cut in planetary science
This is just such an incredible self-own, what are we doing?

There’s a live you tube channel with the camera trained on a watering hole from the Namib Desert in Namibia.
Around 2-3AM their time if you’re lucky you can catch huge porcupines ambling around.
No one fucks with them. Not even the cheetahs.
It’s 5:47AM there now:
