A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.
This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

TODAY's news at NSF:
3. Effective May 5, there's a 15% indirect rate for new NSF awards to institutions of higher education. www.nsf.gov/policies/doc...
This highly illegal statement was cute:
"This Policy Notice takes precedence over inconsistent policies and procedures set forth in the PAPPG."

It's hard to find the words. NSF just terminated the grant for Journeys, a mentoring workshop that tried to tackle underrepresentation of women in international relations. Future scholarship will be the worse for it. But this photo from our last gathering will motivate me to keep fighting.

If a student you know received an honorable mention for the NSF GRFP, encourage them to contact their Congressional representatives! 🧪
Honorable mention here — they said this in the email:
“Although the agency is unable to offer fellowship support at this time, a subsequent announcement of additional awardees is possible subject to finalization of the agency's fiscal year 2025 spend plan”

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.
BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun.
The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.
