At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled.
One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

We first note that hand-wringing about the decline in US college enrollments has mistakenly linked such declines to the price of four-year colleges.
But the decline is entirely driven by two-year community colleges (and by for-profit colleges). The four-year sector is the dog that didn't bark.

One of my absolute favorite studies.
70 teaspoons placed in tearooms around the institute & observed weekly over 5 months. 80% of spoons disappeared; spoon halflife~81 days. Communal room halflife lower than in specific labs. 250 spoons annually required to maintain 70 spoon population.

Hey fluids friends, we're recruiting in my department this year!
Wow! I was at the 2016 colloquium (which has by far the most beautiful room I've ever presented in), and can't believe we are approaching a decade already!
It's about time we start organizing the Liege Colloquium for 2026! Submesocale Processes in the ocean will be the topic, a revisit of the Colloquium of 2016. 10 years of advances!
I'll try to document here the journey towards organizing such an event, maybe there's interest? #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪
