Last week I was in the tundra doing field work, now I’m heading to Baltimore for ESA2025. I kinda miss the tundra and our awesome field crew.

On my way to ESA2025, but still thinking about these cool zoops we found in permafrost troughs this field season. This was from just 100 ml!!!

"A report by economists at American University in Washington DC estimates that a 50% reduction in federal science funding would reduce the US gross domestic product by approximately 7.6%."

Science is an amazing engine of economic activity and progress for the US ... or at least it was.
Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature.

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones
US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.
