While you’re generally right about the war on science and US losing ground in the world (that is for sure what is happening), the US just had a cruise in the cooks with some of the same cook islander scientists for the last month on Nautilus, funded by NOAA. More info online at nautiluslive.org.

Cambodia called and would like a word… Samantha Powers’ book A problem from hell explains well the US government’s reluctance to use the term genocide and Lemkins fight for treaty ratification. The term does not ascribe a rate or a population percentage, but guilt via ICC requires proving intent.

Update… automated systems are incredibly efficient and if you don’t comply, they will hold it against you. Is anyone home at NSF Office of Polar Programs? Just not responding to a process request is not ok! 46 days of not responding. Now what?

I rebuilt the uhplc-ms quat pump tonight with a student. I was trying to take the load off our wonderful and overworked technician during this tough week. I am quite proud that nothing blew up and I didn’t make more work for him.

It’s a war zone out there: national guard, multiple urban search team headquarters, fema tents, showers, laundry, bathrooms, world central kitchen in the park by my house, work had an electrical fire this morning, friends lost everything. And yet, we got lucky, again.
