As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

If you didn’t use TikTok much, you probably didn’t know that that’s where so many of the science educators and climate activists were meeting people where they’re at, sharing and informing, activating and building community.
Seeing my biggest platform destroyed, then watching many younger women in SciComm have *their* biggest platforms destroyed is weighing on me. I’ve rebuilt here. I know they can rebuild too. Having our delicate careers subject to billionaire whims has me wishing for a stability I don’t think exists.

Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪
