Contributor: Fearing Trump, universities themselves restrict academic freedom
Some institutions may have avoided the ire of the federal government by preemptively undermining research and teaching.

I think we know enough to make some educated predictions. I’d like to know who got Melania her O visa and how she met Trump. I have some guesses.

Lutnick owns stake in a few extraction companies and… the people around have been working in extraction finance in Africa for years (aka corruption)

I mean the science won’t support that but … they flat out told me they didn’t care about the science and were there to make deals

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.

Not to be rude but this is and always has been my main research focus. Relevant to this discussion is Imogen’s Tex record from the Ross sea, which is not published yet, but has been presented everywhere. Precise isn’t possible but accurate has happened. See my 2011 nature paper. More soon.

Everywhere it’s the same timing …late Miocene when we went to polar ice sheets… is my guess. It’s a deeply satisfying unconformity… in its consistency ;) we know less about this transition than we should. Also, If ife grows first at the margins and slightly interior, the shelf depth may not matter.

Also incredibly worried. But, warmer air increases moisture content, which results in precipitation. Questions: snow, rain, where is the snow line, how does tropical pacific impact amount, ASL position, etc. And then when do the feeebacks start. Past ice growth occurred during warmest climates. 😬

He’s an akc champion … almost grand champion (2 pts shy), who can also do what he was bred to do! Hes my boy and the Librela is so worth it. We were on our way to get his shot.
